At the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, players will, for the first time in Counter-Strike history, have the opportunity to preserve memories of the most iconic match moments through a unique charm attached to souvenir weapons.
Unique Match Moment Charms Coming to Austin Major 2025
Valve has confirmed that each souvenir drop obtained during the Major will feature a special charm that reflects a key moment from the match it was earned in. This could be a clutch, an ace, or another crucial play — allowing players to own not just a skin, but a personalized memento tied to the game.
This is the first feature of its kind in CS2 and has already generated major interest within the community. These charms could become highly valuable among collectors, especially given that the Major is the biggest event of the year — where legendary plays are made and new stars are born.
While Valve hasn’t revealed all the details yet, it’s expected that the rarity of each souvenir will be based not only on the weapon skin but also on the significance of the moment associated with the charm. This could make these souvenirs some of the most unique and valuable items in the game’s history.

Players are already actively discussing the new feature:
“Imagine it would be linked to a single play” — Dominic Sommersperger
“Hopefully cool custom charms or something, like team charms” — Omar
The charms are expected to make souvenir drops more unique and desirable — especially if they are tied to specific clutches, aces, or legendary moments from the tournament.
