Ranked Series Stickers Arrive Alongside a VACnet Evasion Fix

The Ranked Series stickers went on sale, with half of the royalties shared with players, teams and the tournament organizer. Valve also closed a hole that let malicious players avoid being processed by VACnet, and fixed Collection Catalog XP failing to claim for The Dead Hand Collection. Boulder, Fachwerk and Shelter picked up their latest Workshop revisions.
