Sticker | kabal | Rio 2022 is the Paper autograph for kabal from IEM Rio 2022, released through the Rio 2022 Contenders Autograph Capsule. It is a base-film autograph with full provenance that sits on the budget rung of its market profile and trades in a thin market.
This is the Paper autograph version of Sticker | kabal | Rio 2022, a player-signed sticker tied to kabal and IHC Esports from IEM Rio 2022. It is an autograph sticker rather than a team or community design, released through the Rio 2022 Contenders Autograph Capsule and designed by Valve.
Paper is the base film for CS2 stickers and sits below premium films such as Holo, Foil, Glitter and Gold in the finish ladder. As the Paper autograph here, it represents the entry-level finish for its autograph lineup while sharing the same artwork and signature that appear on higher films.
This sticker is positioned on the budget tier of the market profile, which means collectors treat it as an accessible way to own kabal's autograph without reaching for higher-tier finishes. Because the market is thin for this specific name and capsule, liquidity can be slow compared with more actively traded autographs.
The sticker carries kabal's autograph and is associated with IHC Esports, so ownership ties directly to that player and that team. Full provenance is recorded for this copy, and that provenance is a concrete attribute collectors use when weighing condition and authenticity.
It originates from the Rio 2022 Contenders Autograph Capsule, which groups this sticker with other autographs released at the same time and under the same drop. That capsule origin links it to the wider IEM Rio 2022 autograph set and determines which siblings share its artwork and release context.
Applied stickers are one-way: placing one onto a weapon can be scraped thinner over time and removing it destroys the sticker. Every craft, trade-up or sticker application that consumes stock permanently reduces the number of clean, unused copies available on the market.
The sticker carries a High Grade rarity designation among the sticker grades, which sits below higher grades but above base-level commons in the rarity ladder. That grade underpins how the piece is categorized for collectors versus rarer Contraband or premium-graded stickers.
Collectors craft this autograph onto weapons for looks or matching loadouts; Paper autographs like this read plainly on most weapon finishes and are favored when signature clarity is the goal. Higher films will change how the signature catches light, but a clean Paper autograph remains a straightforward choice for visible placement.
Within the Rio 2022 Contenders Autograph Capsule this sticker sits alongside other autographs released in the same drop, sharing designer credit to Valve and the capsule's autograph focus. Its Paper finish matches the entry-level film for the capsule while rarer films of the same autograph occupy the upper slots in the capsule's finish ladder.
