On March 26, 2019, and just a day prior to the first Magic: The Gathering Mythic Invitational, the esports division of Wizards of the Coast announced on Twitter that Turtenwald would not participate in the tournament. He was replaced by Brian David-Marshall. Two days after the announcement, Kotaku published an article claiming that multiple people had come forward accusing Turtenwald of engaging in "inappropriate behavior toward female players and fans for years." To date, neither Turtenwald nor Wizards of the Coast have addressed these claims, and there have been no public statements by either party regarding Turtenwald's removal from the Mythic Invitational.
