Hmm, maybe you are into the child-like aspect. Game on, sir, game on!
She is taller than shorty so...

I would've done the same. Video games are what I use to avoid going to drugs and alcohol. A girl can't give me the same relief a video game can. People may think that having a pretty girlfriend will solve all your problems but it wont. It'll simply make more problems, as from experience. Video games won't cause me half the hell that some girls do. I support this guy 100% with his decision. BUT not everybody is the same and not everybody will agree, all of us have the potential to act differently in such a situation.

That Fatal1ty guy still lives on the Vegas strip and has transitioned into business and commercial real estate. It is not like he's a broke athlete.Careful. It appears that if you don't bow down at the alter of plastic, silicone, and lip injections you'll be branded "gay". Like that's an insult *snort*
This is going on in the boating industry as well. A number of young couples have hopped into sailboats and headed south to cruising areas. Luckily living on a boat like that isn't terribly expensive - most claim to make $1k to $2k a month from constantly making videos and utilizing sites like patreon. They certainly aren't getting rich. And as everyone knows, fame is fleeting and it's only a matter of a couple years before youtube becomes the next facebook and youth start moving on. So I certainly wouldn't be looking at this sort of deal as a long term income solution. What happens when the game he makes money on moves on and he loses the edge that makes him truly good? Anyone remember a guy named Fatality? The top 10 professional games in the world have all earned under $2 mill. While that sounds like a big number - it's barely enough to retire on if you have a family.

Wow, $2 million is where it tops out at if you are the absolute best? To add more to the batshit crazy, just three weeks prior he was talking about marrying her and said he thought one of the reasons a lot of people watched his videos, you know his main source of income, was because of his girlfriend.

Pretty interesting stats. You have to remember that esports is still new. If you think about pro baseball and basketball in the 60s. Many players had second jobs. Only a few were making great money, and the rest were just barely making a living. That changed as the popularity increased. As esports gets popular, we will start seeing larger salaries.
The next generation coming up will be the first Gen to be fully plugged in. Their buying habits, viewing habits are going to be very different to what we normally engage with. Esports by then might be as big as the superbowl.
Career prospects look bright for the talented.

Esports already has prize pools for some events bigger than regular sporting events and will probably eclipse the Super Bowl and the NFL within a year or two. The top players earn millions in prize winnings in addition to sizable salaries and sponsorships. That's not even counting the income from Twitch streaming.
All of that may be very true but this particular guy, who from everything that I've read is mediocre, is never going to be the top CS earner. Sure he has the potential to increase his earnings somewhat but to break up with a woman that just weeks prior he was talking about marrying for that increase when they are both already making good money is just, imho, crazy. Still, that is his prerogative. To then very publicly shame the woman, who again just weeks prior he was considering marrying, in about the worst possible way for a publicity stunt is just fucked up and cruel.
Whoa - the girls Instagram is nothing but booty. It's public too. My guess is that is just a publicity stunt.
He might be having regret, so is now lashing out at his gf.
Have you ever had a girl and was like "she's ok" after you dump her, and then your friend chimes in and is like "man she is frekin hot. Why did you leave her? Are you nuts?" Then you think back and you're like "damn, she does look amazing. I took her for granted" and in the pit of your stomach you start to regret your decission? Well maybe this is what this guy is going thru. Instead of his buddy, there are tens of thousands of men who are telling him that he f*cked up. I'm sure she has had thousands of proposals for dates. So, instead of saving face he lashes out and it makes him feel better to dismiss and shame his gf. His loss though. She's going to move on and with social media now she'll be seen partying and hooking up with random studs. He'll be in his living room playing CoD.
I don't mean to out you, but I think I found your picture on the internet:
