A professional video gamer has dumped his girlfriend so he can spend more time playing Call of Duty.
Let me just reiterate the intro for you in case you thought I was pulling your leg.
A man has left his girlfriend – who the internet has dubbed the ‘world’s sexiest weather girl’ – so he can dedicate more time to playing video games. Good to see he’s got his priorities in order.
The gamer in question is YouTube star, Douglas ‘FaZe Censor’ Martin, who revealed in his latest video, he dumped his girlfriend – weather forecaster, Yanet Garcia – so he could focus on professional gaming on a full-time basis.
Look, I love video games… a lot. I would never disparage the culture as gaming helped me through some difficult moments in my life. These days, when I switch on my PlayStation 4, it’s a form of therapy/release after a long day or week (unless I’m playing something on the hardest setting – then it’s stress galore).
But as much as I love it, I would never put it above a relationship.
Yet this is the choice Martin has made and the decision has left Garcia ‘heartbroken’.
Martin addressed the breakup in his latest video, where he confirmed ‘Yanet and I are no longer in a relationship’.
He said:
Yanet is an awesome girl, she deserves the best. She’s beautiful, she’s smart, she was an awesome girlfriend.
I know it sounds weird I’m saying all this…it’s just, I gotta do what feels right for me.
In the video, he reveals how he flew ‘all the way out to Mexico’ from New York three years ago, in order to meet her. They soon started to date and Yanet moved to New York for a year.
However, things changed when Yanet decided to go back to Mexico to continue her job as a weather girl and to pursue a career in acting and modelling.
He went on to say:
I supported her decision. She wanted to be a supermodel actress – chase your dreams, life’s too short. I’m playing Call of Duty full-time now and she wanted to take her job opportunity. I didn’t think it was going to be that difficult. Back then it was a lot easier for me to go out and see her. But now I have obligations.
I’m on a contract. It’s not like I don’t want to do this, this is the career that I want. I want to win a ring, I want to win a world championship, what I want in my life at this very moment is to compete in Call of Duty because I love it so much. I’m going to do whatever it takes to be a champion.
There’s only 24 hours in a day and I just didn’t have enough time to do what I needed to do.
Since the breakup, Garcia, who has an estimated 6.5 million followers on Instagram, posted a few tweets about her heartbreak and thanked her fans for supporting her at this difficult moment in her life.
She also appeared to have a final dig at her ex-boyfriend by posting a subliminal tweet in Spanish, which translates to:
Never listen to the advice of a person who has not done anything good with his life.
Damn, relationships can be as messy as hell.
Good luck to the both of them!
