Contract tenure map
Every Luminosity contract since 2015
One lane per player, one bar per status period, plotted from 2015 to today. Current members sit on top with open contracts running to the right edge; former players follow in reverse departure order. Colour marks the status each period was held in, and a gap in a lane is time away from the organisation. Service counts starter, stand-in and coach periods; bench time is shown separately and never added to it (open contracts on the active roster average 4m of service today). Hover a bar for that period's dates and, when recorded, its maps and the player's rating with Luminosity; tap a lane for the full contract record. The same moves appear in the transfer ledger below.

Luminosity Gaming is a Canadian esports organisation based in Toronto and founded in February 2015 by Steve Maida. As of 6 November 2026 its CS2 team, which entered the game on 1 July 2026, was 32nd in the world ranking and 40th in the global Valve ranking, with yxngstxr as in-game leader.
The organisation was created on 1 February 2015, and its Counter-Strike: Global Offensive entry followed on 26 February 2015. The first lineup was signed on 28 July 2015 and comprised FalleN, coldzera, fer, boltz and steel. FalleN and coldzera were both still with the team when it parted ways with the lineup on 1 July 2016, at the end of contracts.
The first changes came in November 2015. On 23 November boltz and steel were replaced by taco and zews, with zews joining as coach, and fnx arrived on 26 November.
Luminosity won the MLG Columbus Major on 3 April 2016, defeating NAVI 2-0 in the grand final. That win came before the lineup was broken up on 1 July 2016.
On 30 July 2016 the organisation acquired the WinOut.net lineup of PKL, yeL, destiny, nak, BIT and Apoka, with Apoka as coach.
On 13 July 2017 destiny and shz left the squad, while chelo and nekiz joined. felippe was coach until 13 July 2017, and Apoka returned as coach on 21 August 2017 and stayed until 14 April 2018.
On 22 April 2018 chelo and Apoka were replaced by steel and zakk, with zakk taking over as coach. On 10 June 2018 PKL and shoowtime were benched and HEN1 and LUCAS1 were signed. shoowtime left on 16 June, and PKL was acquired by Virtue Gaming on 26 June.
boltz joined on 12 December 2018 as yel was replaced. On 25 June 2019 LUCAS1 was loaned to MIBR, while felps arrived on loan from MIBR. HEN1 was benched on 20 August 2019, and skullz was acquired on loan from W7M Gaming on 9 September.
Luminosity had operated independently from 2015 to 2019. On 3 September 2019 Enthusiast Gaming acquired the organisation, and the lineup was released on 12 September 2019.
Steve Maida reacquired Luminosity Gaming on 16 January 2026. The organisation entered Counter-Strike 2 on 1 July 2026, when it acquired Rainwaker from Monte and signed afro, AZUWU, bymas and lux.
bymas was benched on 24 August 2026 and released on 6 October 2026, after playing 8 maps. On 25 August 2026 Luminosity acquired kakafu from Monte as its coach and yxngstxr from HEROIC as in-game leader.
