A player of Counter-Strike has over 1.1 million euros in his Steam account, but Valve hasn’t allowed him to do anything with the money for years.
In Counter-Strike, skins hold a special value. Some are extremely rare and are traded for high prices – including, for example, a knife, for which the owner found over a million dollars not enough.
In addition to knives and weapon skins, certain stickers can also have a high value and increase the sale price of a weapon on which they were applied.
A player with particularly valuable content in his CS:GO inventory is not allowed to sell or trade it.
Why can’t the player access his 1.2 million dollars? The 1.1 million euro CS:GO inventory likely belongs to an account named “Senpai Chcheeey,” which has been offline since 2014 and is now set to private.
The account is considered VAC-banned, meaning it has received a ban on Steam (via Twitter). Due to this ban, he can no longer trade with CS items or access the in-game shop of Counter-Strike (via Steam).
Sticker capsules from 2014 boost the value
What makes the inventory so valuable? As a screenshot on Twitter shows, the player’s inventory includes over 30 sticker capsules from the “ESL Major Series One,” a CS:GO tournament that took place in Katowice in 2014.
The tournament’s sticker capsules are particularly valuable and can be traded for around 30,000 € each, because they include stickers from the teams that participated in the tournament in 2014.
In particular, the holographic stickers from the teams “Titan” and “iBuyPower” regularly fetch high prices, as they are no longer represented in CS:GO and consequently, there will be no more stickers from said teams.
For example, in June 2023, we reported on a player who, after 8 years of absence, checked back into the tactical shooter, found valuable items in his inventory, and earned a small fortune with four stickers from the teams “Titan” and “iBuyPower”:
