"Arteezy may return next season" — SyndereN hinted at the player's comeback

Commentator, streamer, and former professional player Troels syndereN Nielsen believes that Canadian pro player Artour Arteezy Babaev may well return to the professional scene. According to the analyst, this is quite possible next year.

Arteezy hinted that he is ready to come back if he receives a solid offer. He moved to Europe to stream and play pubs more actively, so it’s likely that next season could be his comeback. His return would be great: he has a huge fan base, he creates memorable storylines, and he’s simply fun to watch.

Let us remind that Arteezy went inactive in 2024 after deciding to take a break from the competitive scene. His last team was Shopify Rebellion, where he spent more than two years. During this period, the team placed 2nd at DreamLeague Season 21 and 3rd at DreamLeague Season 19, earning around $300,000 in prize money for the roster. In 2024 the results dropped significantly, and despite roster changes, the organization decided to close the Dota division and release the roster in 2025.

Throughout his career, Artour played for the legendary rosters of Evil Geniuses and Team Secret, spending many successful seasons and winning multiple major tournaments. His best results remain the 3rd places at The International 2014 and The International 2018, where he was one step away from lifting the Aegis.

At the moment, Babaev actively streams on Twitch, spending most of his time playing ranked matches and watching tournaments, and his current MMR is 14,800.

Earlier, Cyberscore reported that coach Andrey Mag Chipenko found a new team and is competing at CCT Season 2 Series 6.
