]]>The Croatian organisation had not fielded a CS:GO team since selling their entire squad to c0ntact Gaming in January. That changed on Tuesday, when CR4ZY announced a new lineup and declared their intentions to win a CS:GO Major title.
Replacing Nestor “LETN1” Tani?, Rokas “EspiranTo” Milasauskas, Otto “ottoNd” Sihvo, Georgi “SHiPZ” Grigorov, Luka “emi” Vukovi? and coach Neil “NeiL_M” Murphy will be Igor “dERZKIY” Radosavlevich, Roma “dOBRIY” Rusak, Sergey “Sergiz” Atamanchuk, Alexandr “Psycho” Zlobin, Dmitry “SENSEi” Shvorak and coach Johnta, all formerly of PROJECT X.
Johnta has also led FlipSid3 Tactics, Arcade eSports, Worst Players, HellRaisers, TYLOO and Winstrike Team during his five-year coaching career. The 32-year-old Ukrainian is regarded as a skilled mentor, due largely to his success while leading HellRaisers.
Johnta steered the CIS squad to a fifth-eighth finish at FACEIT Major: London 2018, earning the team a Legends Status entry for IEM Katowice Major 2019. Although he has never won a Major, the former Counter-Strike 1.6 pro has seen success in several A-Tier tournaments, including silver medals at Moche XL Esports 2018 and DreamHack Open Tours 2018.
CR4ZY’s Ukrainian contingent consists of former Windigo Academy duo Sergiz and Psycho as well as SENSEi, who previously played for NorBant and OneWay. Joining them will be former 97club, Nemiga and Se7en player dERZKIY and former Goodjob and Monolith player dOBRIY, both from Belarus.
Although the new CR4ZY roster features unproven talent who have yet to leave a mark in the top-level of CS:GO competitive play, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the future of this team.
Project X finished ninth-16th at the DreamHack Open Leipzig European Qualifiers and pocketed a fifth-eighth finish at ESL One Rio 2020 CIS Minor Open Qualifier #3 earlier this month. What’s more, the average age of the newly formed roster is only 21.2, with dERZKIY the oldest player on the team at 23 and Sergiz the youngest at 19.
Johnta said, “I’m very happy to start this new journey with CR4ZY! We share the same vision on how a CS team should be run and I’m sure we will build a successful team with the players we signed. Hard work has already started for us and I’m looking forward to our future.”

]]>CS: GO, just like any other sport, does not lack roster moves, with players leaving their teams and joining other teams on an almost weekly basis. This trend holds true for coaches as well.
Only a few days ago we talked about coach Neil ��NeiL_M�� Murphy joining Grayhound Gaming.
Ivan “Johnta” Shevtsov, a former professional CS: GO player who played for Hellraisers, DTS and KerchNET, has coached teams such as FlipSid3 Tactics, Arcade eSports, Worst Players and the HellRaisers.
TYLOO made the announcement on Twitter yesterday:
Today we are announcing that Ivan ��Johnta�� Shevtsov @JohntaCSGO has decided to step down from our team��s coaching position. During his time with us, Johnta had brought structure and new approaches to our game, which had helped the newly formed roster grow at an incredible pace.
�� TYLOO (@tyloogaming) April 28, 2019
The Ukrainian coach joined TYLOO on January 11 in conjunction with roster changes that added YuanZhang “AttackeR” Sheng and YuLun “Summer” Cai to their roster.
While the team did not achieve any spectacular results, TYLOO was respectable under Johnta’s watch. The squad finished 9th-11th at New Challengers Stage of IEM Katowice and 12th-14th StarSeries i-League Season 7.
The real reason behind the departure of Ivan “Johnta” Shevtsov remains unknown at this point, however, it has been speculated that there have been key differences between Johnta and upper management’s vision for the franchise.
Nonetheless, the TYLOO organisation were very respectful to Ivan “Johnta” Shevtsov, thanking him for all he did in the past couple of months, which arguably helped the team grow in all aspects of the game.

Ivan “Johnta” Shevtsov did what was asked of him when he joined TYLOO. He took the new roster and brought structure and new approaches to the game, which will understandably help the players grow as individuals and of course help TYLOO grow as a team.
With the departure of Ivan “Johnta” Shevtsov, there have been rumours�� of more changes to the roster on the way, most notably the rumours link WingHei “Freeman” Cheung to the team, since he announced he would be leaving ViCI.
Additionally, there have been talks of Gan-Erdene “dobu” Batbold joining TYLOO as well, which could mean we will be looking at a “new” TYLOO team yet again.
There are some things to be said about the constant roster changes which are arguably harmful for the team in the long run. Building a roster who will play like a solid unit and achieve good results takes time. Just like the saying goes “Rome was not built in a day” �� the same can be applied here. Constantly switching players works against that.
