According to unofficial reports, the management of North American esports club Luminocity is in talks to sign the core of Monte's Counter-Strike 2 squaf. HLTV.org reports this, citing its own sources.

Aurimas "Bymas" Pipiras, Oscar "AZUWU" Bell, and Aurélien "afro" Drapier may join Luminocity. All three are on expiring contracts with Monte; the Ukrainian club offered them extensions, but they declined.

Aleks "Rainwaker" Petrov, who joined Monte in February of this year, is also reportedly a potential part of the deal. Meanwhile, the team's fifth player, Jack "Gizmy" von Spreckelsen, is in talks with another organization.
