Valve introduces "Souvenir Highlight Packages" for Austin Major

Austin Major highlights will be captured and saved in guns with special charms, available exclusively for playoff stage matches.

In a new blog post titled "Capture the Moment", Valve has announced a new souvenir package to be introduced for playoff matches at the BLAST.tv Austin Major.

"Available exclusively for playoff stage matches, Souvenir Highlight Packages contain a souvenir weapon with an attached charm that features a video highlight from the playoff map you selected," the announcement states.

"Your weapon's description will include information about the highlight, and you can view the attached clip in your CS2 inventory, in Steam, or while spectating a teammate in-match."

A different playstyle that achieves the same results as the default doesn't constitute a better player. You conceded that he had much worse aim, so the fact that he was able to achieve results is laudable but it does make him objectively worse if what you say is true. The only time I remember seeing snax play before G2 was Dallas 2022 so I don't personally remember how good he was. I was just trying to be funny man

Snax in his prime was incredible lurker and clutcher, always catching players from behind using timing to get advantage, definitely goat lurker who was hard carrying VP in later years

They’ll never bother unless enough of the playerbase leaves to the point it’ll hurt their bottom line :/ Faceit is usually playable but riddled with brand new accounts with 2+ kd and under 100 hours (verified queue) And premier in 20k+ elo is just so fucking bad, new accounts blatantly cheating every fucking game, even ended up having cheater teammates (randoms) in a hvh lobby on a good few occasions. Shits fucking cooked. The game would be in a much better state if they just brought back overwatch cases for the majority of players

Why would they do that? They can put a turd in a lootbox and people would throw millions at them, would you bother to work on AC? In their eyes game is fine because people are paying so well for these gambling updates.

I feel like this is their response to the requests for player signatures - it's much more in depth than a sticker I guess. However I still hope the charm or something visible on the gun features the highlighted player's signature

Agreed. Map logo is weird lol Now that skins can have 5 stickers valve don't really have an excuse They'll probably just keep autographs separate so we have to pay for them on the market

I feel you bro, they dont have players signatures souvenir skins since Berlin 2019 i think. I agree, thought after pandemic they would create that again but now, if you go for a souvenir package in map, you would get the sticker. Is so sad :(
