Rare Atom secure home Major berth in Shanghai

Talon will have another shot at qualifying in the lower bracket.

Rare Atom will join The MongolZ at the Major as they have become the second team to qualify for the Opening stage with an upper bracket semi-final victory over TALON.

The Chinese squad successfully making it through the Asia RMR ensures that the tournament in Shanghai will have at least one local representative, with Lynn Vision still alive in the lower bracket fighting to join their compatriots.

Rare Atom's victory came in two maps, Vertigo and Inferno, both of which the YuLun "⁠Summer⁠" Cai-led squad secured with 13-8 scorelines.

Andrew "⁠kaze⁠" Khong was the hero for Rare Atom on Vertigo as he broke TALON's backs when they were trying to come back late in the map with a brilliant ace before clutching a 1vs3 situation to seal the deal 13-8.

A similar dynamic played out on Inferno, where Rare Atom were once again ahead leading into the late rounds with Junhao "⁠ChildKing⁠" Peng at the helm, who brought the momentum from his strong T side to get his team ahead with an equally effective defense.

TALON did have a three-round push to try and bring it back from a 10-5 deficit, but the Chinese squad would not be stopped and kicked into gear to secure their spot at the PW Shanghai Major, 13-8.
