I have never taken Adderall. I don't need it. People can abuse it at their own risk, I guess, but I can't see myself ever giving it to my kid. It's creepy that some people who don't have ADD/ADHD have to rely on this stuff just to write a paper. Or, ****, play a videogame.
Theres playing for fun, and then theres playing for glory and financial gain. I'm guessing his pals used it for big tournies, like cgs/cpl whatever, which have considerably large prize pools.

I had a few old counter strike friends who went on won the last CGS, one of them boasted an income of a couple of hundred thousand for their short pro gaming career.

These guys spent the majority of their time preparing for the CGS, and it payed off. Its tough to be the best, so yeah i wouldn't put it passed anybody in this field to gain an extra edge with the consumption of such drugs.

I myself would never go that far to increase my game, as i do and always will, play for fun
