The Danish player had been part of the ex-p00nhandlers team since its creation in August, having attended Extreme Masters Dubai with the squad.

In the United Arab Emirates, Heldt saw his team crash out of the ESL Global Challenge at the group stage, only to defeat Meet Your Makers for the Extreme Masters league one day after.

AndThenSome has now decided to remove Heldt from the active line-up due to what is described as "internal problems" between the player and the rest of the team.

"There were several incidents with trace during the last month, and some things were said and done that the rest of us could not accept," Timm "ArcadioN" Henriksen told GotFrag.com.

"We deeply regret to have to let trace go, as he is a very talented but we believe that this is in the best interest of the team.

"We didn't feel there was much of a choice, due to his inappropriate behaviour towards us, our organisation and our sponsors."

This move leaves ATS with a four-man roster, with the organisation confirming on its official website that the new player will be announced "in the near future."

Meanwhile, the Danish team has confirmed that former Gravitas member Thomas "MoRf4r" Holm will act as a stand-in in the upcoming fixtures.

AndThenSome has now the following line-up:

Timm "ArcadioN" Henriksen
Jack "wazorN" Henriksen
Michael "Friis" Jørgensen
Rasmus "FaagaN" Thomsen
Thomas "MoRf4r" Holm (stand-in)
