Today we're shipping the Ranked Series of Cologne 2026 Major stickers--new stickers that indicate a team's final standing in the design. As with all items in the Cologne 2026 Shop, 50% of the royalties support the teams, players and tournament organizer.

The original dynamic pricing system determined the relative interest in players and teams, but it didn't produce reasonable prices. So the Ranked stickers have a lower price, but with the same relationship between players and teams as the Event Series stickers (as of today's update).

Check out the new stickers and support your favorite players and teams! The Cologne 2026 Shop will be available until September 29th.

• The bomb explosion now interacts with smoke grenade clouds and molotov/incendiary fire.
