Copenhagen Major Champions Update
View original post on SteamOverview
This update is a victory lap — a celebratory patch dropping in the immediate aftermath of the Copenhagen 2024 CS2 Major, the first Major championship held under the CS2 banner. Natus Vincere claimed the trophy in a grueling three-map Grand Final against FaZe Clan, with the decisive match on Inferno going convincingly to NAVI.
The sole content addition is the Copenhagen 2024 Major Champions Capsule, which is now live on the Steam store. There are no gameplay tweaks, no map updates, and no balance changes bundled here — this is purely a commemorative drop tied to a historic esports moment.
For collectors and traders, that narrow focus actually makes this update easier to evaluate: it lives or dies entirely on the strength of one capsule and the legacy of the team it honors. As the first CS2 Major winners, NAVI's place in Counter-Strike history is locked in, and that pedigree will follow this capsule for years.
New Skins & Collections
There are no new weapon skins, cases, or collections in this update. The only new item is the Copenhagen 2024 Major Champions Capsule, which contains autograph stickers for all five members of the winning NAVI lineup — b1t, jL, Aleksib, iM, and w0nderful — available in the standard four tiers: Paper, Glitter, Holo, and Gold.
If you know how Major capsules work, you already know the hierarchy: Gold autographs are the chase items and will carry the highest price tags, with Holo sitting comfortably in second. Paper and Glitter stickers will be accessible to most collectors but are unlikely to appreciate dramatically unless one of these players becomes a generational superstar.
The real value proposition here is the historical context — these are stickers commemorating the first-ever CS2 Major champions, and that 'first' designation tends to age well in this community.
Gameplay & System Changes
This patch contains zero gameplay changes. No adjustments to weapon economics, movement, spray patterns, utility behavior, or buy menus.
There are no map updates, no UI refinements, and no anti-cheat or server-side improvements bundled in. Valve kept this update deliberately clean, letting the esports moment speak for itself rather than muddying the news cycle with unrelated patches.
For competitive players hoping for a post-Major balance pass — something Valve has historically dropped around Major windows — this isn't it. The only 'change' worth noting for the broader CS2 ecosystem is the closing announcement that the next Major will be held in Shanghai, which signals the competitive calendar moving forward and gives the community a new event to anticipate.
Market Impact — Trader's Take
Buy the Gold autographs now if you believe in NAVI's long-term legacy — and you probably should. Being the first CS2 Major champions is a distinction that cannot be replicated, and Gold stickers from inaugural champions have a reliable track record of appreciating over multi-year horizons.
The window to buy at or near open-market prices is short; once the capsule stops trending on the front page, supply tightens and floor prices on Golds tend to climb. For existing Copenhagen Major team capsules and sticker capsules from the event, expect a modest dip in attention now that the tournament is fully closed — rotate out of non-NAVI team stickers if you were holding for a spike that never came.
The broader Copenhagen collection items are unlikely to see major movement from this patch alone. If you are a long-term collector rather than a flipper, picking up a sealed Champions Capsule or two is a low-risk play given the historical significance.
Just remember that 50% of capsule revenue goes directly to the players and org, so you are also supporting the team — which is a reasonable justification for a slightly more aggressive buy.
Official Patch Notes

Congratulations to Natus Vincere, the first CS2 Major Champions!
Playing in front of a sold-out arena and with over 1.8 million viewers watching around the world, NAVI and FaZe met in the Grand Final of one of the most hotly-contested Counter-Strike Majors of all time. Trading map wins in Ancient and Mirage, the teams moved to Inferno for the decider. There, b1t, jL, Aleksib, iM, and w0nderful put on a dominating performance to earn the trophy and title of Major Champions.
To celebrate their achievement, the Copenhagen 2024 Major Champions Capsule is now available for purchase. The capsule features autographs for each member of the winning team in paper, glitter, holo, and gold. 50% of the proceeds go to the players and organizations.
And with that, the Copenhagen Major has come to a close. See you next time in Shanghai!
