Monte is building a new Counter-Strike 2 team, and the Ukrainian organization has reportedly set its sights on Danish rifler br0. Several sources have confirmed this independently to Dust2.dk.
This news is interesting because it comes shortly after Monte parted ways with its entire previous roster. As a result, fans have been eager to learn who the organization would target next, and br0’s name has quickly become central to that story.
A Turbulent Summer for Both Sides
Monte sold its full former lineup this summer. Four players moved to Luminosity, while 100 Thieves signed British in-game leader Gizmy. This came right after the team had surprised many with a strong run at IEM Cologne Major 2026, where they reached stage three and finished in a combined 12th-to-14th place.
However, Monte later made headlines for a less positive reason. Former player Bymas accused the organization of owing him tens of thousands of dollars, in addition to his share of sticker money from the major. Monte’s response to these accusations drew criticism from many people in the scene.
The Rumored Lineup Takes Shape
Rumors have circulated that Monte plans to build a roster featuring br0, mantuu, sdy, St0m4k and CYPHER, with T.c and JamezIRL also linked to the project. Dust2.dk can now confirm that a new team is indeed in the works, and that the Danish rifler is currently in talks with Monte.
br0’s Rocky Road Since NRG
br0 has faced a turbulent period recently. He was benched by NRG in June, following one and a half years with the American organization and several major appearances. Eternal Fire then quickly signed him. Despite this, he was benched again just six weeks later, after only a handful of matches.
Why This Move Matters
If the rumored roster comes together, Monte would be rebuilding around a mix of experienced talent following a difficult summer both on and off the server. For br0, meanwhile, a move to Monte could offer a fresh start after two short and unstable stints in recent months. As talks continue, this developing story will be one to watch for fans following the Counter-Strike 2 transfer scene.
