iM and kl1m pay homage to former teammates in Budapest Major stickers

Stickers are one of the hot topics in the CS community around every Major, with the upcoming StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 being no different. Many players have had their signatures denied due to Valve's new regulations regarding stickers.

On the more wholesome front, NAVI player Mihai "iM" Ivan and MIBR player Klimentii "kl1m" Krivosheev have designed their respective stickers in honor of former colleagues, immortalizing their nicknames in the CS2.

iM has added former Nexus teammate Cătălin-Ionuț "BTN" Stănescu's in-game name to his sticker. iM and BTN played together on Nexus in 2018 and from 2019 to 2021. BTN is regarded as an elder statesmen of the Romanian scene, having played for their premier team, Nexus, since 2016 with the majority of Romania's notable talents.

kl1m is paying respects to his coach on G2 Ares Nestor "LETN1" Tanić, who was notable as a player for his time on CR4ZY. LETN1 coached kl1m on G2 Ares, G2's academy team, from the time kl1m joined in September 2024 until he left for MIBR on loan in August of this year.
