This is the Holo team sticker for Natus Vincere from the 2016 MLG Columbus release, an official Valve design released alongside that tournament's capsule. It is a team mark rather than an autograph or community piece, and it carries the Holo finish that distinguishes it from its paper counterpart.
Holo sits above Paper in the finish ladder for this set and is treated as a premium film relative to the base stock. Within the broader hierarchy Holo ranks below the most exclusive films like Gold or special lenticulars, but it clearly elevates the same art when compared to the base paper issuance.
Collectors prize the Holo for its visual depth and the way it lifts the team mark on a weapon; the premium finish label is the explicit reason folks cross from paper to holo on this Natus Vincere design. The finish also preserves detail differently in crafts, which keeps demand steady for clean copies.
This sticker sits in the mid price bracket for its set, indicating it trades above budget paper issues but well below top-tier grail finishes. For a collector that means it is attainable as a premium accent without entering the highest-end market rung.
The Natus Vincere emblem is the focal point here, a straight team mark meant to signal org loyalty on a weapon. Team collectors and fans who build themed loadouts are the core demand drivers for this sticker, and that loyalty often moves otherwise ordinary supply.
This sticker comes from the 2016 MLG Columbus event set, and its provenance ties it to that release by name. Event provenance matters because it places the sticker within a specific capsule run and group of sibling designs tied to that tournament.
It was issued in the MLG Columbus 2016 Legends (Holo/Foil) capsule, so its siblings are the rest of that tournament's holo and foil offerings. Coming from a named capsule fixes its original distribution and groups it with the other team and player marks released at the same time.
Once applied to a weapon a sticker is subject to wear: scraping makes the film thinner and removing it destroys the sticker entirely. Every craft or apply action consumes a copy of the stock, so the pool of pristine, unapplied stickers only goes down.
This sticker carries the Remarkable rarity grade and sits at the mid-level of sticker rarity tiers for collectability. That grade underpins how commonly it turns up in clean form and feeds how collectors value the holo over paper in this slot.
Collectors favor this Holo team mark for clean-side crafts and themed skins where the holo sheen complements metallic or dark finishes. The finish's reflectivity changes how placements read in-game, so particular weapon faces and offsets are preferred when the goal is a high-contrast craft.
As part of the 2016 MLG Columbus run and released contemporaneously with that capsule, this sticker sits in the middle years of modern CS sticker releases. Its placement in that era shapes expectations around supply, design language, and how Valve treated team marks at the time.
