HLTV has solidified the iconic status of the main meme of the current IEM Cologne Major 2026. The website administration listened to the large community petition and added a special badge featuring Jab Jabych – the plush mascot and temporary "mentor" of the Team Spirit team.
The exclusive icon automatically appears in the user's profile and in forum comments if Team Spirit is selected as the favorite team in the account settings. The wave of adoration for the plush frog in headphones began after it replaced Sergey hally Shavaev on the stage in Cologne.
The fan-initiated discussion thread demanding recognition for Jab Jabych has gathered over 2,600 likes on the initial post and more than a thousand approving reactions under key comments.
Let us remind you that earlier the CS2 community requested HLTV to create a coach page for Jab Jabych.
