In the same year he retired from both World Cup participations ( combined pyramid , dynamic pyramid ) without a win in the preliminary round.
After suffering a close first round loss to Oleg Schigimont (5: 6) at the Combined Pyramid World Cup in 2013 , Johns also lost his opening game at the Dynamic Pyramid World Cup in July 2013 , this time against Nikita Zisselski (1: 5).

In his sixth participation in the World Cup in the Combined Pyramid , Johns won a game for the first time in 2015. After a 1: 5 opening defeat against Sailan Adamow , he narrowly prevailed against Tofik Kuliev (5: 4). However , he lost the decisive third group game against Temirlan Kuscherow 2: 5, which meant that he missed the entry into the final round.
