Canadian Dota 2 Player Arteezy's Return to the Pub Games

Artour "Arteezy" Babaev, the renowned Canadian Dota 2 player, recently made a comeback to Dota 2 matchmaking following a two-month hiatus. In his return, Arteezy participated in eight pub games but encountered a challenging streak without emerging victorious in any.

During his gameplay, Arteezy delved into various heroes and assumed roles across the battlefield, with the exception of the midlane. He notably opted for heroes like Dragon Knight, Magnus, Shadow Demon, Bat Rider, and Alchemist.

Since June 2024, Arteezy has refrained from competing professionally and refrained from partaking in matchmaking activities since November of the same year. His decision to step back came after falling short in qualifying for The International 2024 with his previous team, Shopify Rebellion. Amid the team roster adjustments, Arteezy announced his intentions to take a break from the competitive scene, leaving fans eager for his potential comeback.

Furthermore, in late 2024, Babayev proposed to his long-time girlfriend, Zhang "Dove" Tiange, culminating their seven-year relationship. This personal milestone adds another layer to Arteezy's public persona, showcasing a glimpse into his life beyond the digital battlegrounds.
