Tal "Fly" Aizik, former captain of the team Nouns, has advised his long-time friend and colleague Artour "Arteezy" Babaev to consider relocating to a European team if he wishes to continue competing professionally.
"[Canada's Arteezy is one of the most popular North American players in Eastern Europe. He was your teammate for a long time. Do you think he can return to the top level?]
Yes, he has always been one of the most experienced players I've ever played with. He just needs to join a team with a good style or structure. If he moved to Liquid in Sweden or Gaimin Gladiators in Europe those teams are great already—he could show his potential. I don’t think he should return to North America if he wants to play professionally. But skill-wise, 100%, Artour is insanely good."
Tal genuinely believes that Arteezy remains one of the top-tier carriers in professional Dota 2, even compared to the newer players. He highlighted Arteezy’s strong form and determination to return to competitive Dota.
Additionally, it was recently revealed that Arteezy and Cr1t are set to play together again on the same team.
