ESL One Cologne 2014 Stickers Released

Once again Valve has released team stickers for the upcoming CS:GO major event. The stickers have the same layout as last time in being split up between two capsules: Legends Challengers. Teams that are in the legend category are the returning top eight teams from EMS Katowice and the ones within the challenger are the eight teams that qualified for this event. The revenue from the stickers will be split evenly between the organizations and/or players. Last event the revenue was given to the organization of the team and they did what they chose with it. This caused certain issues and Valve might have adjusted their contract to avoid these issues.

　　The system that was used in previous events had each team's name hard coded within the UI display and it was more of a hands on configuration. This time around had majority of the strings reworked or added new ones; thus now the system is more automatic instead having to physically highlight the team's name. Featured below is first the deletions of the old system and then the additions of the new system.

　　String modifications took place around the previous event's stickers. Each sticker now displays out "Holo" instead of "H". Also now the event location and year is added after the team's name. This was added so that the users are able to tell the difference between the stickers based on the name; since this is the second event with team stickers.
