Martin "trace" Heldt has been announced to be Rasmus "Gux" Ståhl's replacement in fnatic, making the team majority of the team Danish for the first time since its creation.



With Rasmus "Gux" Ståhl's retirement last week, the fnatic Chief Gaming Officer Patrik "cArn" Sättermon once again went on to post a riddle including nick names of hot candidates to join, for the community to have fun guessing who it might be.



The announcement about the newest member in fnatic came today and as many had guessed, the Dane Martin "trace" Heldt is the guy to fill the void left by Ståhl.



Heldt was rumored to join fnatic already earlier this year, following Faruk "pita" Pita's decision to step back. Heldt did, as we know, not join fnatic, but instead joined SK Gaming. He only lasted two and a half months on the team before being removed after Copenhagen Games.

Since then he's been a part of Xapso, which in recent time turned into eSrael. The team has been producing noticeable results online and attended the $10,000 3rd Intel Core Challenge by Inferno Online in Stockholm where they fell short against fnatic.



Heldt has now signed with fnatic, leaving eSrael with just four members, while fnatic once again has a complete roster of five players:



Richard "Xizt" Landström

Andreas "MODDII" Fridh

Finn "karrigan" Andersen

Michael "Friis" Jørgensen

Martin "trace" Heldt

With Heldt joining fnatic, the team changes flag to Danish, as the majority of the members now hail from the Kingdom of Denmark, for the first time in fnatic's Counter-Strike 1.6 history.



Heldt's fnatic debut will happen on July 26-29 in Bilbao where the team will travel to attend the 2012 edition of GameGune. For a small interview with Heldt head on over to the fnatic website.
