Jonatan "Devilwalk" Lundberg has left OpTic Gaming, the team's in-game leader Damian "daps" Steele told HLTV.org in an interview.

"...Devilwalk will not be coaching us, he had a potential other opportunity that would have been better for him so we wanted him to pursue it," he said. "And after the ruling from Valve came down on coaching we kind of took a step back and decided that we will reassess our coaching position in 2017."

Devilwalk joined OpTic on June 21 and has only been on the team for a little over two months. He joined the team to help OpTic prepare for ESL One Cologne 2016, but was not allowed to participate at the event himself as he was not registered on the roster two weeks before the Major qualifiers. OpTic Gaming finished in 13th-16th place at the Cologne Major.

OpTic Gaming's next event will be Northern Arena Toronto, but they will attend that event with Derek "desi" Branchen in lieu of their recently acquired player, Tarik "tarik" Celik. Northern Arena Toronto will take place on Sept. 1-4 in Toronto.
