Trash Leaves Rare Atom

Chinese esports organization Rare Atom has made public the exit of 20-year-old esports player Aozhe "Trash" Tian. The club disclosed the news on social media, stating that the esports player is a free agent and can sign for another team.

Trash arrived at Rare Atom recently — in June of 2025. However, his time with the team was brief. A month later, the team sent him to the bench and replaced him with Junbin "Tiger" Zhen. As a result, Trash didn't get any actual chance to prove himself as one of the team's key players and quit the team shortly.

And now, Rare Atom is ranked 35th in Valve's official Counter-Strike 2 global rankings. The team’s latest results have been far from impressive: they finished at the bottom of the standings at both FISSURE Playground 1 and BLAST Bounty 2025 Season 2, underlining the need for roster changes.

The current Rare Atom lineup is as follows:

• Yulun “Summer” Cai

• Junhao “ChildKing” Peng

• Yihan “L1haNg” Li

• Andrew “kaze” Hong

• Junbin “Tiger” Zhen

• Zhenghui “z8z” Liu (coach)

Donk and ZywOo Continue to Dominate in CS2

Trash’s departure marks yet another step in Rare Atom’s search for an optimal roster capable of achieving stable results on the international stage. Meanwhile, the player himself now has the opportunity to explore new offers and potentially find a team where he can fully unlock his potential in CS2.
