Sticker | HooXi (Holo) | Budapest 2025

This is the Holo autograph of HooXi representing Astralis, issued as part of the StarLadder Budapest 2025 set and released through the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule. It is an Autograph sticker, not a team or community variant, and it carries Valve's designer credit on the drop.

The sticker is a Holo film, which sits above the base Paper finish in the usual finish ladder and below the most extreme premium films. Think of Holo as the first meaningful premium step for this set: more visual depth and reflectivity than Paper, while still separate from top-tier specialty finishes.

Holo finishes are chased because they upgrade the same signature with visible sheen and stronger in-hand presence versus the Paper twin. Given this sticker's premium finish rank, collectors prefer the Holo for display and crafts when they want a cleaner, more striking interpretation of HooXi's autograph.

The signature is HooXi's and it is tied directly to Astralis through the sticker's team attribution. The label of full provenance here means the autograph is accompanied by the set and release details that collectors look for when assessing an autograph's authenticity and lineage.

This piece comes from the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule, which frames it as part of the StarLadder Budapest 2025 release. Being from that capsule tells you where it sits among its autograph siblings and which other player signatures shared the same drop.

Applied stickers are one-way: when you put this HooXi sticker onto a weapon it can be scraped thinner and is destroyed if removed, and every craft or application consumes a copy from circulation. That dynamic is why clean, unapplied stock is the resource collectors track most closely.

The sticker carries an Exotic rarity grade and sits high on the sticker rarity ladder. That grade underpins collector expectations about how scarce copies are relative to common and lower-tier drops within the same capsule.

Collectors favor Holo autographs for crafts because the film reads well on most weapon finishes and preserves the signature's legibility under lighting. For HooXi's autograph specifically, the Holo sheen enhances the ink and team colors, which is why a number of crafts prefer this film over the Paper variant.

Released as part of the StarLadder Budapest 2025 issuance and published on November 12th, 2025, this sticker belongs to the mid-twenty twenty era of autograph capsules. Its release context and Exotic grade help define how it is compared against earlier and later autograph drops from Valve.
