Luminosity Gaming is making its move back into competitive Counter-Strike, and the shopping list is ambitious. The organization is in advanced negotiations to sign multiple players from Ukrainian org Monte, while also bringing on Brazilian player lux as in-game leader.
The targeted Monte core reportedly includes Bymas, AZUWU, and afro, all of whose contracts with the Ukrainian organization are set to expire on June 22, 2026. Rainwaker may also be part of the package.
The pieces on the board
Lux, the Brazilian player tapped to captain the new squad, has been in discussions with Luminosity since at least April 2026. He was benched by Legacy back in February, leaving him available and, presumably, motivated.
Bymas, in particular, is a name that carries weight in Counter-Strike circles. The Lithuanian player has bounced between several notable rosters over the years, and pairing him with AZUWU and afro preserves the synergy those players developed together at Monte.
