How To Get Souvenir Tokens
Before you can unbox anything, you need Souvenir Tokens. It is important to understand that you cannot buy Souvenir Tokens directly from the Steam Market, nor can you trade them with friends. They are locked to your account.
To get them, you must own the Budapest 2025 Viewer Pass.
When purchasing the pass in-game, you are presented with two choices:
The Basic Pass: Gives you access to the Pick'Em Challenge and the commemorative Coin.
The Bundle (Pass + 3 Tokens): Includes everything in the basic pass plus three tokens to redeem immediately.
Once you have your pass, the only way to earn free tokens is by completing challenges. You earn a token every time you upgrade your Event Coin (from Bronze to Silver, Gold, and finally Diamond). This is done by making correct predictions in the Pick'Em Challenge during the Opening, Elimination, and Playoff stages.
How to get the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Coin?
For many, the Budapest Major Coin is the ultimate flex. It is a badge displayed on your CS2 profile that proves your knowledge of the pro scene.
Bronze: Unlocked immediately upon purchasing the pass.
Silver: Requires 3 correct challenges (usually completing the initial Pick'ems).
Gold: Requires 6 correct challenges.
Diamond: Requires 9 correct challenges (usually meaning you need a near-perfect bracket in the Playoffs).
Getting the Diamond Coin is notoriously difficult. Statistics from previous Majors show that fewer than 1% of pass owners usually achieve the Diamond tier. If you manage to get it, you haven't just earned a rare badge—you’ve also maximized your free Souvenir Token earning potential.
StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Souvenir Packages
Correct predictions reward you with Souvenir Tokens, which can be redeemed for Souvenir Packages. These special cases open without a key and contain skins from the specific map played, rather than knives or gloves. At the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, you can redeem your tokens for packages from any of the following seven maps:
- Ancient
- Train
- Mirage
- Dust II
- Inferno
- Overpass
- Nuke
You can redeem tokens for specific matches and maps via the prediction screen. Each pack contains a skin featuring gold stickers of the participating teams and the event logos. Alternatively, packages can be purchased directly through the game menu without using tokens. Note: Be aware of potential special items. During the last Major in Austin, Playoff souvenirs featured exclusive 'highlight keychains' instead of standard stickers. These charms proved to be valuable, with some trading for over $10.
Which StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Souvenir Packages are the best to pick?
If you plan to open the package immediately in hopes of hitting a jackpot, you should redeem tokens for Mirage, Dust II, or Ancient packages. These collections historically contain some of the most expensive "Red" (Covert) rarity skins in the game. However, be warned: the odds of unboxing a Red souvenir skin are approximately 0.0256%, or roughly 1 in 4,000. It is significantly harder than pulling a knife from a standard case.
If you're an investor, keep the package closed and sell it in a year or two, you need to look at supply and demand. Mirage packages are popular, but they are also redeemed in massive quantities, which keeps their price low. Smart investors often look at maps that are less popular or at risk of being removed from the active duty pool (like Overpass or Train). If a map is removed from the pool, its souvenir packages can no longer be generated, often driving the price up over time.
Who Will Win StarLadder Budapest Major 2025?
One of the main favorites for the next Major trophy is Team Vitality. They’re the current winners and the best team of the 2025 season. The European roster managed to win 7 titles and reached the final 10 times. All of their leaders, ropz and ZywOo, are in a prime form. apEX is still proving himself to be one of the best IGLs in the world, while mezii and flameZ are among the best riflers in CS2.
Recently, Team Vitality and Skin.Land became an official partners. As a sign of gratitude to our community, we offer a $10 bonus with a code “vitality”. Head over to Skin.Land, activate your bonus for the first sale and browse the vast assortment of skins and other CS2 customization items!
