This is the Holo autograph variant of Sticker | HexT (Holo) | Rio 2022, an in-game autograph tied to HexT of Evil Geniuses from the IEM Rio 2022 run. It comes from the Rio 2022 Challengers Autograph Capsule and carries the designer credit of Valve, placing it among event-issued autographs rather than a team or community spray.
The film here is Holo, which sits above Paper in the usual finish ladder for sticker sets but beneath the very top-tier films collectors prize. Within the Rio 2022 lineup Holo is the premium step up from the base print, so it reads as the elevated display option without moving into special executions like Gold or Lenticular.
Collectors chase the Holo because it visually amplifies the autograph while remaining a widely recognized premium film in the set. As a premium finish it separates clean, signed examples from the base Paper footprint and drives demand among people who want a signature with extra presence on a weapon.
The autograph is HexT's, tied specifically to his time at Evil Geniuses and stamped with the IEM Rio 2022 association. That clear player-team-event linkage is what provenance collectors look for when they want a canonical HexT signature rather than an anonymous team decal.
This sticker was released through the Rio 2022 Challengers Autograph Capsule, which groups it with the other autographs from the Rio 2022 cycle. That capsule origin defines the set siblings and is the source people reference when tracing a sticker back to event drops and capsule availability.
Once you apply a sticker to a weapon it becomes one-way: you can scrape it thinner by removing layers, and removing it entirely destroys the sticker. Every craft or trade that uses copies reduces clean stock, so the population of unmounted, pristine examples only moves in one direction.
This piece is marked Exotic and sits in the high rarity tier of the sticker ecosystem. That placement underpins collector interest by separating it from the lower-grade prints and aligning it with the more limited, attention-getting items in a set.
HexT's Holo is a straightforward craft candidate because the finish reads well on many weapon canvases and the autograph keeps the focal point tight. Collectors often favor premium films for visible placements and for signature clarity, which in turn feeds demand for clean, unapplied examples to use in prized weapon builds.
As part of the IEM Rio 2022 releases, this sticker belongs to the recent wave of event autographs that arrived with Valve-designed capsules for that Rio 2022 cycle. Its standing is defined by that release and by being part of the autograph cohort collected around Rio 2022.
