Major Roster Overhaul for Rare Atom as European Players and Staff Depart

Rare Atom has just announced a significant roster overhaul, parting ways with a substantial portion of their team. Players phzy, kory, and expro, along with coaches Twista and peku, have all exited the Chinese organization, leaving a void in the team's lineup. This was reported on Twitter.

This sweeping change follows Rare Atom's recent journey under its current banner, which started late last year. The international squad quickly rose to prominence in the Asian competitive scene, coming close to qualifying for the PGL Major RMR and securing a spot in the BLAST Premier Showdown despite facing the hurdle of language barriers.

With these departures, Rare Atom's roster is down to two core players:

• YuLun "⁠Summer⁠" Cai 
• HaoWen "⁠somebody⁠" Xu 

As Rare Atom restructures, the focus shifts to how the organization will rebuild and what direction they will take to fill the newly created gaps in their roster.
