Arteezy explains why he won't play in The International 2025 qualifiers

Canadian esports player Artour Arteezy Babaev has confirmed that he will not participate in the qualifiers for The International 2025 in Dota 2. Although there were earlier plans to play with RAMZES666, the team never came together due to internal disagreements.

According to Arteezy, the original plan included a stack with Abed Azel Yusop, Tal Fly Aizik, and Roman RAMZES666 Kushnarev. However, the project fell apart: Abed joined MOUZ, Fly went to AVULUS, and RAMZES, in Arteezy’s opinion, also lost motivation. There was also a brief discussion about teaming up with Clement Puppey Ivanov, but that idea quickly faded.

In light of these setbacks, Arteezy stated he has no desire to compete in the qualifiers:

I'm tired of these questions. I won't play the TI qualifiers because I don't want to. I think RAMZES is also tired of this and doesn't want to play, and neither do I.

Previously, the community speculated about Arteezy and RAMZES possibly joining Team Secret, as the European organization has been rebuilding its roster since late 2024. However, more and more rumors suggest the roster is already finalized.

As a reminder, Arteezy put his career on hold in the summer of 2024 after leaving Shopify Rebellion and a disappointing run in the International 2024 qualifiers.

Earlier, Cyberscore reported that Solo has assembled a roster for The International 2025 qualifiers.
