2020 RMR Sticker Capsules
Over the past year, the top CS:GO teams in the world competed in regional ranking events for invitations to a Major Championship. Ultimately there would be no Major in 2020, but it is important that fans have an opportunity to celebrate and recognize the hard work of the best teams of 2020. So we're excited to announce 2020 CS:GO RMR Capsules.
These capsules represent the teams that would have received invitations to the 2020 Fall Major, broken down by their invitation status (Legend, Challenger, Contender). You can find the final RMR scores and standings here.
For these stickers, 50% of the proceeds directly support the teams.

Since then, ESIC has published the findings of their investigation and the resulting sanctions. You can read about them here.

The following table translates ESIC demerits into Major ineligibility:
| ESIC Demerits | Number of Majors to Miss |
| 2 | 1 |
| 3 | 2 |
| 4 | 3 |
| 5 | 5 |
| 6+ | All |
Out of position. In addition to consequences for individuals, we have also thought about how commonly coaches exploited the bug, for how long it went unreported, as well as how common coach stream-sniping accusations have been.
To avoid the diminished integrity of coaching from casting a shadow on the integrity of Valve-sponsored events, we'll be changing the restrictions on support staff in the following way:
