Luminosity Could Return to CS2 – Organization Exploring Roster Options

North American organization Luminosity Gaming is considering a potential return to Counter-Strike 2, following reports about ongoing roster discussions.

The news surfaced after rumors that Luminosity is in talks to sign Brazilian player Lucas 'lux' Menegini from Legacy. According to multiple sources, negotiations between the parties are already at an advanced stage.

Luminosity owner Steve 'Buyaka' Maida addressed the situation on social media, confirming the organization’s interest in returning to Counter-Strike, while emphasizing that no final decisions have been made yet.

“I want to bring LG back to CS more than anyone. Right now, it’s just talks. We’ve been discussing different roster options and evaluating the economics — what’s possible and what isn’t. It’s a major investment, so nothing has been decided yet.”

He also noted that leaks were expected once discussions began, adding that any official move would be announced directly by him if things progress further.

According to Dust2 Brasil, Luminosity is looking to build an international roster around lux, aligning with the current trend of multinational lineups in CS2.

A return from Luminosity would be a significant moment for the scene. The organization holds a historic place in Counter-Strike, having won the MLG Major Championship: Columbus in 2016 with a legendary Brazilian lineup led by Gabriel 'FalleN' Toledo. Shortly after that victory, the roster was acquired by SK Gaming, but the Major title remains one of Luminosity’s defining achievements.
