Stickers release and donation
Better late than never, eh Valve? Suck is forever after all.
We don't blame you if you’ve not followed the drama surrounding the stickers, even if it has been extremely entertaining. To get everyone on the same page, stickers didn’t come out when we expected them to, which was already odd. No one entirely knew why, until ECSTATIC co-owner zipeL tweeted that Valve wanted everyone to re-do their signature at the Major. Wait what?
Why would Valve want that, you might ask. Well, apparently, players are a lot less creative than you’d think. And they don’t know what “non-commercial” means.
Turns out a bunch of players apparently used fonts that weren’t allowed to be used commercially, as well as brand logos and other designs they didn’t have the rights to. Take for example wicadia, who totally, definitely, drew this by hand. Or as a past example, dimasick, who just used Comic Sans as his sticker. Maybe it filled him with determination.
On a more serious note though, these stickers are also doing something great thanks to STYKO.
The veteran is trying to raise awareness for mental health in Esports. As young players chase the dream of playing pro, it can demand a lot of sacrifices socially and mentally. STYKO will be donating 20% of his sticker revenue to two good causes related to this topic, 10% will go to cyn1c’s family, and the other 10% to the Twisten Foundation.
No jokes here, just good guy STYKO.
