According to a tweet made by Tyloo followed up by another by Ivan ‘Johnta’ Shevtsov, Johnta has stepped down from his position within the organization. The Ukranian will no longer be serving as the coach for Tyloo.

Today we are announcing that Ivan “Johnta” Shevtsov @JohntaCSGO has decided to step down from our team’s coaching position.

Im sure we did a great job and team learned things, they lacked before which will make them grow faster and achieve their goles. Best of luck in future! https://t.co/TFSXvCbnhK — Ivan Shevtsov (@JohntaCSGO) April 28, 2019
