In a recent interview, Ars-Art had hinted, that we might see him in the commentator's chair, trying his hand at casting matches. The list of commentators for the upcoming Techlabs Cup has confirmed that the event will mark Ars-Art's debut as an official match commentator.

Being one of the top supports in the world would mean transferring all of his in-game knowledge, awareness and insight into casting, giving deep analysis to spectators about the ongoing match.
Ars-Art will be joining a known Russian comentator, ru Vladimir "Maelstorm" Kuzminov, for this event.

It had been rumored that Sergei's motivation was the reason for being dismissed from Na'Vi and while it is yet unclear about the player's intention to go back to competitive play, having players of this caliber switch to casting could be beneficial for the Dota2 scene, as the game is arguably in its early stage of development as an eSport around the world. A similar transition had been made by pro players in other eSports titles, like us Sean "Day[9]" Plott in StarCraft II, who went on to host his own popular show "Day9 Daily - Where we learn to become a better gamer.", where he casts and analyzes high level competitive play.

Ars-Art will have the opportunity to cast great matches by top CIS teams like ua Na'Vi, ru Virtus.Pro and ru Empire at Techlabs Cup on March 23rd in Khimki, Moscow, alongside world-renown commentators from other eSport titles.
