Valve has released another update just prior to the start of the IEM Rio Major, predominantly focused on improving the readability of certain team and player stickers after initially suffering backlash.
Other features of the update include two time-limited storage units, which will allow users to buy all 145 player and team stickers in either the paper or glitter variants, which will set you back $16.99 and $64.99, respectively. Players can also use the storage units as a place to store their already-bought stickers.
Valve improved sticker visibility and added storage units in the latest update
Much like previous Majors, 50% of all proceeds from Major-related items like stickers will go towards the players, teams, and organisations, a feature that Valve says has totalled over $70,000,000 over the past two Majors: PGL Stockholm and PGL Antwerp.
The full release notes for the update can be read here.
