+1 in the club of thousanders - Arteezy became the third player to play 1000+ maps in LAN tournaments

Renowned Dota 2 stat Ben 'Noxville' Stinuizen spoke about the achievement of the Evil Geniuses team representative. According to Stinuizen, Arthur 'Arteezy' Babaev became the third player in the world who managed to overcome the mark of 1000 played cards in the framework of offline events. His former teammates Clement 'Puppey' Ivanov and Kuro 'KuroKy' Salehi Takhasomi are in the top 2 esportsmen by the number of cards played at the LAN championships.

Comrade Arteezy Tal 'Fly' Aizik, who also plays for Evil Geniuses, may join the Thousand Club in the near future. He will manage to overcome the bar of 1000 cards played in LANs if the team takes part in tie-breaks or falls early into the lower bracket of the playoff stage.
