A major surprise at
VALORANT Masters Toronto, where they secured an unexpected third place finish, the Chinese organization now seems to have its full roster ready for the upcoming competitive season, aiming to secure a spot at Champions Shanghai 2026. After a year full of ups and downs, only captain Pong “SiuFatBB” Ka-hei and Liu “Spring” Chun-ting remain from the previous lineup, alongside head coach Hoc Wah “Fayde” Chong. And as
Sheep Esports recently reported, the club has also signed
Jordan “jowa” from Challengers Americas and
Wang “yosemite” Lei from FunPlus Phoenix in VCT CN.
This core is now joined by Satoshi, a player mainly known for his Duelist roles. He previously competed under XLG Esports back when the club was still in Tier 2, before moving to RareAtom in October 2024. Initially joining on loan, he helped the team win Season 3 of the China National Competition, which led to his permanent signing at the start of 2025. From there, the organization continued to improve, eventually claiming the Season 4 National title as well, securing enough circuit points to qualify for
Ascension CN.
In his final campaign with the team, Satoshi and his teammates completely dominated the field, cruising through four straight 2-0 victories to reach the decisive match for a coveted VCT China spot. Facing Dragon Ranger Gaming, who were battling for their return to the league, RA stood no chance and fell 3-0, managing just 15 rounds across all three maps.
