trace has taken over Astralis Talent

Danish esports organization Astralis has announced the appointment of trace to the position of head coach of its youth squad Astralis Talent. Previously, the 31-year-old Danish specialist coached Team Singularity and ECSTATIC.

Kasper Hwidt, Astralis Sports Director:“In just 12 months we have a strong infrastructure and talent pool. We can take the next steps, including full professional player contracts, a full immersion mode, and a deeper focus on individual players and game plan. Therefore, we are now recruiting Martin "trace" Heldt as the new head coach of Astralis Talent. "

trace ended his esports career back in 2016, playing a couple of tournaments with mTw. Already at the beginning of 2021, the Dane took over the leadership of Team Singularity, with which he did not manage to achieve success, eventually leaving the project after changes in the vector of the organization's development. In the fall, the 31-year-old specialist took over the Lyngby Vikings team, which later changed its name to ECSTATIC.

In three months as head coach, trace helped the team win Funspark ULTI 2021: Europe Season 3, Malta Vibes Knockout Series # 3 and Pinnacle Fall Series # 3, as well as reach the final at Pinnacle Fall Series # 2, Funspark ULTI 2021: Europe Season 4 and Malta Vibes Knockout Series # 4.

However, in early December, trace unexpectedly announced its departure from ECSTATIC, promising to share its plans in the near future.

In turn, the last coach of Astralis Talent was VNG, who took over the team in November last year. Nevertheless, for several months the specialist was unable to prepare the team for competition at the adult level. The nearest tournament for the Danish team will be WePlay Academy League Season 3. Astralis Talent will play in the same group with BIG Academy, Fnatic Rising, Young Ninjas and NAVI Junior.

From now on, the composition of Astralis Talent is as follows:

• vigg0.
• MistR.
• Altekz.
