Censor announces CoD retirement as veteran calls time on 13-year career YouTube: CensorCompetitive Call of Duty veteran Doug \u2018Censor\u2019 Martin has called time on his esports career, hanging up his controller after 13 years of battling the very best at the highest levels of play. As one of the longest-standing figures in the CoD scene, one of the last true veterans, Censor has officially decided to walk away from the competitive space, announcing his next steps in a January 29 YouTube video. From his come-up in the trenches under the likes of Team Envy and FaZe Black, to his four-year stint on FaZe Clan, a brief run in the CDL with New York Subliners, and most recently, a stretch with Boston Breach\u2019s Academy team, Censor has seen and done it all. The now 29-year-old began with Treyarch\u2019s original Black Ops in 2011 and competed across 13 different CoD titles, ranging from traditional boots on the ground to futuristic jetpack-infused combat. Although a fourth-place record at 2014\u2019s CoD Champs event marks Censor\u2019s greatest single triumph, the veteran won multiple Open events through the years along with dozens of top-four finishes to boot. While leaving a historic legacy behind, Censor already has his sights on what\u2019s next. The simple goal of breaking a Guinness World Record. Looking to set the most pull-ups in 24 hours, Censor is actively training to tackle this feat in a matter of months. \u201cThe record is really important to me,\u201d he said through teary eyes in his video. \u201cIt means a lot to me for a lot of reasons. I\u2019m seven months into training. This final stretch of training for me is gonna be really hard. \u201cI knew after this tournament was over it was time for me to retire from Call of Duty. I\u2019ve been around esports almost my entire life and I\u2019m 30 years old. I just don\u2019t like where my head is at right now. I\u2019m looking forward to focusing on other things outside of playing.\u201d Beyond the record chase, Censor added he won\u2019t be stepping away from the spotlight and, in fact, is looking to do more than ever on the content side with CDL org Boston Breach. \u201cMaybe in the future, I play again, I don\u2019t know,\u201d he pondered, leaving the door ever so slightly open. But for now, his priorities lie elsewhere. Marking the end of his full-time commitment to competitive CoD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
