Artour Babaev (born July 1, 1996), better known as Arteezy, is an Uzbek-Canadian professional Dota 2 player for Shopify Rebellion.

[6] Born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Babaev showed much promise as a child, reaching the highest matchmaking rating on the leaderboards in public matches.

On November 22, 2013, Arteezy had the opportunity to stand in for bOne7, who was unable to attend due to visa issues, and play for his previous team Speed Gaming (formerly Kaipi) at MLG Columbus.

[10] Arteezy handily defeated several more well-established midlaners, including Mushi and Dendi, en route to an underdog victory for Speed Gaming over the all-star Team DK in the finals.

[11] On January 31, 2014, Arteezy, along with Dota 2 veterans UNiVeRsE and Fear, as well as former Heroes of Newerth players ppd and zai, created S A D B O Y S [sic], which had immediate success.

On February 21, 2014, Arteezy and company were announced to be the new Evil Geniuses Dota 2 squad,[12] which continued to be a top-tier team despite being from the weaker North American scene.

With Arteezy transitioning to the carry position, Team Secret stormed through The Summit 3, Mars Dota League 2015 and ESL One Frankfurt 2015 taking 1st place at each, establishing themselves as the favorites for The International 2015.

[15][16][17] In September, Babaev left Secret during the post-TI shuffle, returning to Evil Geniuses once again with former Team OG player Cr1t.
