Rare Atom bid farewell to somebody

The Chinese veteran is free to negotiate with other teams after spending the last two weeks on the bench.

Rare Atom part ways with somebody

Rare Atom have parted ways with HaoWen "⁠somebody⁠" Xu, the Chinese organization announced on Tuesday. The move comes just two weeks after the 30-year-old was moved to the bench to make way for Aojie "⁠Trash⁠" Tian.

somebody spent nearly two years with Rare Atom, whom he joined in October 2023 on loan from TYLOO before inking a permanent contract at the turn of the year. During his time on the roster, he notably attended the Shanghai Major at the end of 2024 and PGL Bucharest 2025.

Rare Atom sign Trash to replace somebody

His removal from the starting lineup came after a disappointing season that saw Rare Atom miss out on a spot at the Austin Major after finishing behind Lynn Vision and TYLOO in the China MRQ.

A former member of E9, Trash helped Rare Atom win the GangKui Cup Season 1 in Shanghai last week over Wings Up. Next week, he will attend his first international LAN as Rare Atom will compete at FISSURE Playground 1 in Belgrade.

Rare Atom are now:

YuLun "⁠Summer⁠" Cai
Andrew "⁠kaze⁠" Khong
Junhao "⁠ChildKing⁠" Peng
Yihang "⁠L1haNg⁠" Li
Aojie "⁠Trash⁠" Tian

Zhenghui "⁠z8z⁠" Liu (coach)

a joke now dank1ng is a former Chinese csgo player during 2019-2023,playing 1 major(2021 Stockholm) and qualifying for 2020 major(canceled for global pandemic) without any personal stickers. he was once good,showing his talent at an early age by an ace playing against OG(interestingly,they owned Aleksib and degster then) however,NO ONE knows what he did.During a period of time we called him the goat in asian awpers,but he did a mess with Tyloo.They missed 5 Major in a row,just as Astralis did before 2025 Austin.and he didn't want to play cs anymore,earning money by streaming,and play valorant for more subscribers.now he is just a joke in China.he said not once not twice but uncountable times he will be back,but almost 3 years,after the lost in Ulaanbaatar RMR,we haven't seen him.So we make fun of him.

I heard somebody got kicked for trash, but neither the organization nor HLTV will elaborate about who Rare Atom removed or added to their roster. Journalism is dead.
