Among 7 others, including StarCraft colleagues Day9, Husky and Trump, he was invited to participate in the first high-profile Hearthstone tournament which was held during BlizzCon 2013, the Innkeeper`s Invitational. On his road to the finals, he swept his competition with a strong Paladin deck before he secured the championship in a close 3-2 match against Kripparrian after winning the deciding Warrior vs. Mage game with a Charge play. Friends of his from the StarCraft community including Tasteless, Suppy and DeMusliM rushed the stage after victory was secured, and he imitated the trophy kiss he had seen from GSL winners when he received the champion`s silver tankard.
The StarCraft II WCS Global Finals` second semifinal between Jaedong and Maru was even briefly delayed in order to give Artosis and anyone who wanted to watch him time. Host ReDeYe took it upon himself to announce Artosis` win to the crowd, saying as they cheered, "Just goes to show you that as StarCraft players, we can play anything!" Artosis then returned to the caster`s desk later that night to cast the grand finals between Jaedong and sOs alongside Tasteless and Apollo.
Since then, he has appeared on multiple Hearthstone seasons of Fight Night while also being a caster for the StarCraft II edition and also took 2nd place at the IEM Season VIII World Championship, where he also doubled as a StarCraft caster, and also casted during the opening phases of the BlizzCon World Championships before transitioning to the StarCraft casting and analysis desks for the remainder of the event.
