Cologne 2026: Ranked Series
Valve published "Cologne 2026: Ranked Series" on 29 July 2026 in Community Announcements. The PatinaAI market index's median read 28.89 points in the seven days after against 29.56 before, −2.3 %. A typical week moves under 0.1 % either way on the same measure. A read is a comparison with a date, not a cause.

Today we're shipping the Ranked Series of Cologne 2026 Major stickers--new stickers that indicate a team's final standing in the design. As with all items in the Cologne 2026 Shop, 50% of the royalties support the teams, players and tournament organizer.
The original dynamic pricing system determined the relative interest in players and teams, but it didn't produce reasonable prices. So the Ranked stickers have a lower price, but with the same relationship between players and teams as the Event Series stickers (as of today's update).
Check out the new stickers and support your favorite players and teams! The Cologne 2026 Shop will be available until September 29th.

No read: the venues' daily prices do not cover the days around this post.
The PatinaAI market index's median over the seven days after the post was 28.89 points against 29.56 over the seven days before: −2.3 %. A typical week moves under 0.1 % either way on the same measure, the drift this read has to beat. The post's own day is left out. A comparison with a date, not causation.
The item types and weapons the post names, in the order it names them. A word match, not a reading of the post.
How to read the number
The read compares the market index's median over the seven UTC days after the post with the seven days before it, the post's own day left out, and needs at least three published days on each side. The same measure taken on every day of the series is the drift a typical week shows; a read inside that drift is the market doing what it was doing. Neither is proof the post moved anything. The composite is on the market report, every basket under the indexes, and every update is on one list.
