The Chinese team has won a resounding victory in the return of the first big arena since the Shanghai Major.

Rare Atom defeated Virtus.pro in the opening round of PGL Bucharest, thereby winning the first in the Swiss group group stage.

The Chinese team was rated as "underground" completely when entering the match-this is also the first time they have participated in a Tier-One level tournament since Shanghai Major in early December. However, they have created a big shock when defeating Virtus.pro-the team has just made a significant progress at Blast Open Lisbon.

Smebody and Summer recreate the old Typo -style performance

Virtus.pro proved to deviate in the early game when Rare Atom was completely overwhelming on the side of the Mirage map. The fast, bold gameplay reminds Typo team in 2016 with two familiar names Haoowen "⁠somebody⁠" Xu and Yulun "⁠summer⁠" Cai Cai continuously surprised the Russian team.

The 29-year-old Somebody star has shown his class with experienced clutches: a 1v3 situation with Glock in the first Pistol Round, followed by a 1V2 phase with AK-47 after the year Round, and a 1v2 clutch phase with MAG-7 in the second half, contributing to Rare Atom winning the 13-3 overwhelming map on the first map.

On the Ancient map later, Somebody continued to shine when he recorded a ACE phase with four different types of guns, showing himself as a true "all -play player" when Rare Atom continued to destroy the battle.

And when Virtus.pro started to show signs of rising from the 4-10 lead, a 1v5 non-utopian clutch phase of Summer had extinguished that hope and helped Rare Atom closed a series of convincing matches.
