IEM Cologne 2026 graffiti or memorial added to a CS2 map by Aug 31?

This market will resolve to "YES" if Valve adds a new fixed in-map graffiti or other qualifying memorial to an official Counter-Strike 2 map by August 31, 2026, 23:59 UTC, and the addition clearly commemorates a specific player, play, team result, or other moment from IEM Cologne Major 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "NO."

For the purposes of this market, a qualifying graffiti or memorial must be a fixed visual element built directly into an official CS2 map and visible in the standard, publicly available version of Counter-Strike 2. It does not need to be explicitly described as a “graffiti” by Valve.

The connection to IEM Cologne Major 2026 must be identifiable from the element itself, its placement at the in-game location of the commemorated play, an official Valve statement, or a consensus of credible Counter-Strike reporting.

Routine map decoration, signage, posters, environmental props, or texture changes that are not specifically connected to IEM Cologne Major 2026 will not qualify.

Inventory graffiti sprays, stickers, weapon skins, charms, temporary event decorations, Workshop-only content, and modifications available only on community servers will not qualify.

The addition must become publicly available in Counter-Strike 2 by the deadline. Content found only in unreleased game files, test builds, leaks, or datamining will not qualify unless it is subsequently added to the public version of the game.

If a qualifying addition appears in the public version of Counter-Strike 2 but is not mentioned in the official update notes, clear in-game visual evidence supported by a consensus of credible Counter-Strike reporting may be used for resolution.
