Rare Atom announced a new sniper for their CS2 roster

Andrew "kaze" Khong has returned to Rare Atom and has once again taken up the position of the team's main sniper. This move followed his departure from TYLOO, where the results did not meet expectations, including a failure to qualify for the PGL Major Copenhagen.

Rare Atom is counting on the team's breakthrough at the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, which will take place in early December 2024. This was the reason for strengthening the lineup by signing the new sniper. The Malaysian sniper's move back to Rare Atom was facilitated after TYLOO decided to shift focus to a younger lineup at the beginning of May.

kaze's return to Rare Atom means replacing Junqi "Risk" Chen, who has been underperforming lately, having a rating of 5.8. So his replacement was the consequence of poor performance, and the Rare Atom lineup now looks as follows:

• YuLun "⁠Summer⁠" Cai
• HaoWen "⁠somebody⁠" Xu
  
• Andrew "⁠kaze⁠" Khong
  
• Yihang "⁠AhaNg⁠" Li
  
• Junhao "⁠ChildKing⁠" Peng
  

At the time of kaze's transfer, this became TYLOO's 32nd change in the team over the last year. TYLOO currently has 9 players under contract, 4 of whom are in the main lineup, and the other 5 are on the bench.
