The IEM Cologne 2026 Major is fast approaching, and this can only mean one thing: Lambda Pick 'Em and for the first time, Tournament items featuring teams are now available to purchase.

We've bought the Pick 'Em system in to the main website, like we've done previously with other functionality such as LambdaNet.

In addition to the main UI being overhauled, we've done the same for the Major Store. There are more items that can be purchased, including new team stickers, now available for the first time.

There's no dynamic pricing, the price you see is what you get - And like last time you can purchase with both Lambda Coin and wallet balances.

Following in the same footsteps that Valve have done this year - We're introducing Souvenir-O-Matic. With this system, rather than unboxing an item that you probably do not want, you can now bring any existing weapon finish of your choice to be crafted in to a Souvenir.

The Souvenir system has been updated to support making souvenirs even more unique with a custom description about the origin of the Souvenir craft.

You can craft Souvenirs either via the new "Souvenir-O-Matic" tab; Simply select a weapon that meets the following criteria:

• Weapon Finish
• Not an existing Souvenir
• Has no stickers

Or like previously, you can click on each match from the Pick 'Em page to directly apply that match to a weapon finish of your choice.

Still want to get map-based souvenirs?

No problem - You can now purchase all Active Duty map collection packages from the Major Shop
