100 Thieves are reportedly in advanced negotiations to acquire Jack “Gizmy” von Spreckelsen from Monte, a move that would install the 22-year-old British player as their new in-game leader in CS2.
If finalized, the deal would push current captain Håvard “rain” Nygaard out of the IGL seat and into a different role on the roster.
From academy to IGL in fourteen months
Gizmy’s rise has been remarkably quick by Counter-Strike standards. He joined Monte’s academy squad, Monte Gen, in November 2023. By January 6, 2025, he had earned a promotion to the main roster and taken over as in-game leader.
Under his leadership, Monte reached Stage 3 of the IEM Cologne Major 2026. His career prize earnings sit at approximately $36K, a figure that reflects his relatively short time at the top level.
