The former ENCE coach Slaava “Twista” Räsänen has been hired as the new head coach of the Chinese Organization Rare Atom.
Today we are happy and proud to announce the addition of @TwistaCSGO and @pekuCS to our CS:GO lineup as head coach and assistant coach/analyst. We believe that a professional coach team can lead RACSGO back to the top and win more honors together.#RA #CSGO pic.twitter.com/75BNYkMPgg

On the team, he will be joined by a fellow Finn Petteri “peku” Jaakkola, who will join the team as an assistant coach. The two Finns are so far the only signings on Rare Atom who is currently without any players after Yang “JamYoung” Yi and the rest of the former Atom Rare lineup departed the organization in August. They are currently playing at ESL Pro League under the name 5yclone.
According to HLTV, Rare Atom could field a new team with these players:
YuLun “Summer” Cai
HaoWen “somebody” Xu
Heng “expro” Yang
Love “phzy” Smidebrant
Kornél “kory” Szedlár
The five players have been spotted playing together on FACEIT recently.
