Arteezy liked hanging out in clubs rather than watching anime in his youth

Professional Dota 2 player Artur "Arteezy" Babaev revealed that he preferred partying in clubs over watching anime. He shared this during a stream while responding to a matchmaking player who asked if Babaev had watched "Naruto."

"Brother, when I was 18, I was having fun in clubs with hookers, not watching anime. <...> That's the pure truth, it was like that. Honestly."

At the time of this news, Arteezy is inactive. He previously represented Shopify Rebellion for several years, but after their defeat in the qualifiers for The International 2024, he left the team and decided to take a break, which is ongoing. In September, Babaev's fans asked if he planned to return, to which he replied that he wasn't sure.
