However, at the Budapest Major, Rare Atom's assistant coach Marek takes stage as a part of the main roster. Marek dawned Rare Atom colors a while back when signed as the assistant coach and the 32 year-old now becomes the first every Taiwanese Counter-Strike player at a Major.
Rare Atom are taking on Imperial in their opening match of the first stage of StarLadder Budapest 2025. A live broadcast of the game is currently running on StarLadder's secondary Twitch stream- StarLadder 2.
