No trace in fnatic, will be at IEM6 WC

Former mTw star Martin "trace" Heldt has slammed the rumors of him being the new fifth in fnatic's Counter-Strike team.

With yesterday's announcement of Faruk "pita" Pita leaving fnatic, guesses on who would be the new fifth have been falling on a few players currently without a team.

One of the guesses, and probably hopes of many, was the former mTw member Martin "trace" Heldt, who ever since mTw closed its doors, has been without a team.

Heldt has however closed the door on possibly being the new fnatic fifth, with a simple, yet telling comment: "I won't join fnatic".


trace is not the new fnatic fifth

Asked whether he has plans of continuing playing, Heldt revealed to HLTV.org, that he indeed has plans to continue and furthermore will be present at the IEM6 World Championship in March.

Heldt did not want to reveal with which team, but given the fact that the former mTw players have a spot for the World Championship, as they are ranked seventh on the IEM rankings, Heldt could very well make an appearance with some of his former team mates.

In regards of who will join fnatic, a strong candidate after yesterday's news fell upon former ESC Gaming mad-fragger Andreas "MODDII" Fridh, who today has been seen in same server as the fnatic team.

Fridh's former team mate Markus "pronax" Wallsten has furthermore posted "Congratz to MODDII :) good luck andreas!" on his facebook page, not directly saying he joins fnatic, but pretty much strengthens the possibility of it happening.

The announcement of fnatic's new fifth is set to be announced tonight, taking place via fnatic's own3D.tv channel.

SHAME :(
gl to moddi and hope that trace will find a good team to make seriously damage in the world!
2012-01-30 19:41:51
MODDII will join fnatic for sure and I think he'll do a great job :)
2012-01-30 19:41:53
True! MODDII is a great addition to the team. :-)
2012-01-30 19:44:26
:O would be good to see minet arcadion trace turkizh and nix0n representing mTw
2012-01-30 19:42:10
Yes if nix0n would be changed to zonic and instead of turkizz some awp, like Nuggi for example.

Haha, I won't play ;)
2012-01-30 20:24:38
Ok, now go and write news that trace is joining mouz :)
2012-01-30 23:48:35
As long as mouz wants to play EPS with their A-lineup, that won't happen.
2012-01-31 10:11:38
Who knows, maybe some of them moves to Germany, like ESC did last season.
2012-01-31 15:20:26
Dunno, I doubt that and zonixx is good enough to play in a top tier team.
2012-01-31 15:33:08
1 question, what was the reason that trace said that he won't join fnatic, I mean he was just saying that or there is some concrete reason and Nix if u don't know please ask him the next time u take his interview. It's just my curiosity and m not Sherlock Holmes :D
2012-02-08 09:49:23
100% moddii
2012-01-30 19:42:54
it`s right decision to pick up MODDII, but trace is better in any case, for me atleast
2012-01-30 19:43:03
It's the right decision to pick up MODDII, but trace is better in any case

Am I the only one who felt that made NO sense at all?
2012-01-30 20:01:05
I guess yeah, U r the only one
trace would not be able to communicate with teammates as well as MODDII can
but if talking about personal skills, trace is better.
hope U get it now!
if not, reply me, I will try to explain better.

2012-01-30 20:04:44
So in the case of communication, MODDII is better, according to you that is.

And secondly, there are many other things which MODDII is better than trace at.

Therefore you were wrong when you said "trace is better in any case".

That's why I felt you didn't make any sense with your comment.
2012-01-30 20:07:12
OK, got U now
for ex. in which case MODDI is better than trace ?
2012-01-30 20:08:51
I would say MODDII is a much better entry fragger than trace.

Trace is more of a mid-defensive player, that's where I see him as most effective.
2012-01-30 20:12:34
sure he can be
but of course U understand that was just my own opinion :)
I`m sure that MODDII will help the team very much and wish him best of luck in all this stuff
2012-01-30 20:15:32
Yeah, can't wait to see him in action.
2012-01-30 20:17:29
Wauw.. Just wauw.. You no nothing about trace and moddii :)
2012-01-30 20:40:11
Enlighten me if you "no" so much.
2012-01-30 20:43:02
Now this is why trace fits better in the team. if he's more of a mid-defensive player, he's like pita, while gux and xizt are two mad-insane-modafocka entry fragger/agressive player

whatever, if cArn think that 3 super aggro players can work... then gl to them
2012-01-30 20:32:58
I'm not saying MODDII fits better, I was just saying that he was wrong about his claim that "trace is better in any case".

I just made a thread about your point btw.
2012-01-30 20:39:40
actually trace is one of the best entry fraggers statswise
2012-01-30 20:46:24
That's quite strange because whenever I watched mTw's demos he was always the guy who stayed alive till the end of the round. MODDII was more of a "boom-boom" player, enter and kill. Trace is more versatile though.
2012-01-30 20:50:43
Is it you or all indian people are so retarded? Who cares how much you watched demos when you have them all summed up in the end
http://www.hltv.org/news/5982-top-20-players-of-20..

Best entry fragger @2010
2012-01-30 21:32:58
People like kh4n make indians look retarded
Trace is an awesome player always in top 4
Plz dont compare him with moddii.
And plz dont make indians look shameful
2012-01-31 06:46:58
trace top3 2010 top4 2011,not enough for your brain?


2012-01-30 21:30:32
but MODDII is smarter than trace.
2012-01-31 12:13:51
don`t know man
for me trace is just better :)

trace will play for....?
2012-01-30 19:44:31
so trace will join SK, and face will be kicked out....
2012-01-30 19:44:46
face>trace in SK, they wont need trace
2012-01-30 19:48:23
who are you to say that
2012-01-30 19:52:12
You're all idiots with your -face +trace bullshit. You can't compare FACE and TRACE, they are two entirely different players. And secondly, communication will be a problem.
2012-01-30 20:10:34
good joke
2012-01-30 20:01:42
face is better holding bombsites alone, while trace is madfragger, SK already have that, they do not need trace instead of face.
If they would need trace they would already contacted him.

Stop post changes in every topic, it gets boring.
2012-01-30 20:05:05
Hope trace joins Anexis.
2012-01-30 19:44:49
NO chance for ESC to get spot in WC,but I guess we will se good lineup with trace (I expect him with minet,arcadion and 2 other players) ;)

2012-01-30 19:44:57
There is still a decent chance, actually. Pretty much no hope of any Asian/American team. There are a total of 12 slots.
2012-01-30 19:46:16
true,not sure about umx.us ,but I hope for spot for esc :)
2012-01-30 19:47:56
isnt minet retired?
2012-01-30 20:02:15
he still play CS

it was obvious he wasn't gonna be the fifth, they took Friis, cuz he knew a little bit of Swedish, but this guy for sure, does not.
2012-01-30 19:52:40
O_O IEM 6 eaaaaaaaah.
hmm who wakes up to play with centration on the IEM ^^

2012-01-30 20:09:18
trace end
2012-01-30 20:09:26
hey stop lol all of you making dreams about moddii being in fnatic wow how can a rumor be spread and be made the dream of anyone , I never saw so much interest about moddii playing for fnatic . Being myself 15 years old I can understand that cArn won't take into accout the public's desicion , but decide with his team and only ...
2012-01-30 20:09:27
and..... moddii is gonna play for fnatic starting from now.
2012-01-30 20:11:11
haha I don't know you see I wouldn't consider the MODDII choice a better option , Xizt pita Delpan in IEM5 European Finals the 3 gamers of fnatic were upcoming stars, who knows maybe cArn will surprise us by picking an unknown player
2012-01-30 20:13:51
He already announce it the stream. Its MODDII.
2012-01-30 20:15:43
haha okay I am now going to fall and die
2012-01-30 20:38:19
:p
2012-01-30 20:39:34
:) btw didn't mention it but moddii is a great choice an extremely skilled rifler as good as pita and maybe an inch better , good choice :p
2012-01-30 20:42:59
moddii is way way better than pita, and yes.. its a good choice by carn.
2012-01-30 20:48:41
I wouldn't say way way better but things like that pita never reached the ace if I remeber or that he would many times do mistakes that fnatic couldn't afford , make his retirement and replacement easier
2012-01-30 20:53:35
MODDII :)
2012-01-30 20:09:28

gl moddii! friiss + gux + moddii = pwnage. If trace would have joinsin place of xizt then this lineup will be unbeatable.
2012-01-30 20:10:24
Confirmed. moddi is fnatic's 5th
2012-01-30 20:10:33
MODDII in fnatic, interview live in fnatic stream
2012-01-30 20:10:52
gl MODDI :>
2012-01-30 20:13:21
what about n0thing ? eg has no more cs .. and in my opinion he is good for the fnatic team
2012-01-30 20:14:09
so you think he should move to sweden for 1 year (probably the last year of cs 1.6, maybe 2,3) and learn swedish and after 6months discover he doesnt understand well with the other guys? dont think so
2012-01-30 20:21:01
english bro :/
2012-01-30 20:31:59
u think the bosanian pita knew swedish , but its over now i think they choose MODDII

MODDI IN FNATIC wow
2012-01-30 20:23:26
This is even better, this means we will see both moddii and trace in action!!
2012-01-30 20:26:06
trace plz go to sk
2012-01-30 20:29:40
In my opinion MODDII is better pick than trace, because they have sniper.. Friis.. Trace is also good with rifles, but moddii is better i think and he is better pick.. GL moddii.. :)
2012-01-30 20:36:10
trace > moddii with rifles all the way
trace was mtw's awper because there was no one better, trace is a rifler
2012-01-30 20:47:51
Dont talking stupid things please. moddii > trace with rifles.
2012-01-30 23:06:33
trace is among the best 5 riflers of today while moddii isn't......
oh and you're the guy that said carn + forp + gtr + gux + moddii = WIN???
team without a stable first awp...that just shows your insight and knowledge of the game
2012-01-30 23:17:38
go visit a doctor
2012-01-30 23:24:34
Do you watch the same cs that i watch?
MODDI is very agressive and likes to pick up kill early in the game like trace , they have a very similar gamestyle but trace is better anydays with any gun ;)
cheers.
2012-01-31 11:14:13
you are so wrong
2012-01-31 12:21:53
hahahah
2012-01-30 20:40:32
Well lets wait a while and see how this pans out. Remember all the talk about his attitude problems?
2012-01-30 20:46:37
That was last time, he is more matured now :D
2012-01-30 20:49:40
arcadion, minet, suranga, faagan and arcadion
2012-01-30 20:47:05
Arcadion has a Twin and a Brother?
2012-01-30 20:56:53

2012-01-30 20:59:06

2012-01-30 20:48:31
maybe there is a chance that we will see him stepping in for Anexis
2012-01-30 21:28:22

Hope trace actually has a decent team for IEM. Trace is easily a top 5 world (maybe even top 3) player who deserves a great team.

trace and friis dont like eachother, they will never play on the same team...
2012-01-31 08:11:42
That's a looong looong time ago. Friis actually said a few days ago that "Trace and I feel more than well together:) I actually love to play with him"
2012-01-31 12:22:03
dude, have you followed any of the news lately and read the comments? friis clearly said its a misunderstanding and its wrong. he also stated that he loves to play with trace
2012-01-31 12:23:38
