Budapest Major Tokens: A Guide to StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Souvenir Packages

Majors in CS2 are always more than just a competition. It’s a combination of the highest esports stage, emotions, and a special in-game economy that comes to life during major tournaments. And a key role here is played by Budapest Major Tokens, which allow you to exchange predictions for valuable StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Souvenir Packages. In this material from the CSGO-NEWS blog, we will break down in detail how to get tokens, how the coin system works, which packages are available, and what is best to open or keep.

How to Get Souvenir Tokens

Souvenir Tokens can only be obtained by players who have purchased a Viewer Pass. It is purchased separately for each Major. After purchasing the pass, two ways to get tokens are available:

1. Purchasing the Extended Version of the Pass

When choosing the more expensive option, the player immediately receives three tokens along with the pass.

2. Correct Predictions

On the Pick’Em system screen, you can make predictions for all stages of the tournament. Tokens are issued for each stage — but only if the conditions for the required number of guessed results are met.

There are no other ways to get Souvenir Tokens. They cannot be sold, traded, exchanged with other players, or bought on the market. It is also impossible to get them through the in-game store.

It is important to remember that predictions are made separately for each stage of the tournament, so it is advisable to start participating in Pick’Em in advance.

How to Get the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Commemorative Coin

Every pass holder receives a StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Commemorative Coin at the end of the tournament. It has four rarity levels:

• Bronze

• Silver

• Gold

• Diamond

The level increases automatically if the player makes a sufficient number of correct predictions.

Getting silver or gold is relatively easy, but the diamond coin is obtained only by a select few — according to statistics, about one in a thousand prediction participants.

The coin is displayed in the Steam profile and serves as a permanent reminder of the tournament and your success in Pick’Em.

StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Souvenir Packages

Correct predictions give not only coin progress but also Souvenir Tokens. Each token can be exchanged for one Souvenir Package. These are a kind of cases with unique souvenir versions of skins for specific maps.

Features of Souvenir Packages:

• No keys required;

• The packages do not contain knives or gloves;

• However, they do contain ultra-rare souvenir skins;

• The skins contain stickers of the participant teams of the chosen match, the Major logo, and the map logo.

The package can be opened immediately after exchanging the tokens. Additionally, packages are also available directly — they can be bought in the CS2 menu without having a token.

The following Souvenir Packages are available for the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025:

• Ancient

• Dust II

• Inferno

• Mirage

• Nuke

• Overpass

• Train

You can choose a package on the predictions screen: select a match, a map, and get the souvenir collection for that specific game location.

An Important Nuance: Playoff Souvenirs Might Differ

At the previous Major (in Austin), the playoff stage souvenir items had additional highlight charms related to key moments of the matches. Such charms can cost significantly more than usual — sometimes $10 and above.

It is not yet clear whether similar elements will appear at the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, but this possibility makes playoff souvenirs potentially more valuable.

Which StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Souvenir Packages Are Better to Take?

The short answer is that all seven collections are worthy of attention, as each has valuable souvenir guns. However, some maps are traditionally considered more profitable for those who want to maximize the chance of expensive drops.

The best packages if you want to “tickle your nerves”:

• Budapest 2025 Mirage Souvenir Package

• Budapest 2025 Dust II Souvenir Package

• Budapest 2025 Ancient Souvenir Package

These packages historically contain the most expensive souvenir skins. However, the drop chance of a “Red” souvenir item is extremely low — approximately 0.0256% (1 in 4000). This is 10 times rarer than the chance of unboxing a knife from a regular case.

Keep or Open Souvenir Packages?

There are two paths:

Open

For those who love excitement, opening packages is a chance to get one of the rarest collector’s items in the game. Especially if the package was obtained from a match involving your favorite team.

Keep as an Investment

Some players prefer to hold onto packages for years. A price increase is indeed possible, but:

• you sometimes have to wait a long time;

• the cost depends on changes to the mappool;

• decisions about map rotations are made exclusively by Valve, and they are impossible to predict.

Storage can be profitable if you have patience and an interest in long-term investments.

Is It Worth Hunting for Souvenirs?

Budapest Major Tokens are the key to exclusive StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Souvenir Packages. They give you a chance to get rare collector’s items, upgrade your coin, replenish your inventory with valuable souvenir guns, or even make a long-term investment.

If you participate in Pick’Em, plan your predictions in advance, and understand which packages are worth opening — the Major becomes even more interesting.

There are many opportunities: open cases from your favorite matches, collect souvenirs from specific teams, hunt for legendary “Red” skins, or simply watch the price growth on the market.

No matter which path you choose, souvenirs from the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 are always a piece of CS2 history that will stay with you for a long time.
