In Call of Duty: Warzone, a new father has excelled while holding his baby. A clip shows him winning a round in the Gulag with the newborn in his arms. This earns the respect of some viewers.
In the Gulag of Call of Duty Warzone, fallen players face off in a brutal duel for life and death. Both players are highly focused and fully engaged… normally.
This is shown in the clip: The character stands motionless in the shower room of the Gulag while the player is at home, standing next to his gaming chair. He holds a controller in one hand and a baby in the other. The player throws a Molotov cocktail into the area, turns around, hits his opponent at the exact height of the target, and eliminates him without having moved a step.
Afterward, the father celebrates lightly at home and dedicates himself fully once again to the child.
If you kill me like this, I’m quitting Call of Duty!
This is how the clip is received: The clip has over 40,000 views on Twitter and many comments:
- One says, “I’d uninstall it if I see you wipe me out on Twitch while holding your daughter”
- Another says: “That was both disrespectful and beautiful at the same time”
- A third urges him to now also compete in his professional matches
Father is CoD pro and two-time champion
This is the player: The father in the clip was not just any player, but one of those CoD pros who pass time in Warzone and sometimes set crazy kill records or show others their OP setups:
- Brian “Apathy” Zhelyazkov (26) is one of the most successful esports professionals in Call of Duty.
- He was World Champion in 2016 and 2018 with Team Envy and Evil Geniuses.
- Apathy has been playing forever, started with Halo, and has been with Call of Duty since Black Ops (2010)
- The American has earned over $582,347 with Call of Duty over the years (via esportsearnings)
But Apathy became a father in April 2020 and now has to balance his professional career, the Corona quarantine, and new father duties. As shown in the clip, he does this remarkably well.
