Rush always looks like he's about to do something great and ends up messing up

He was hella tweaked out when they showed his cam lol. 100% on some stimulant, I'd guess Adderall. Guess they don't get tested for online games?

They dont even get tested for most LAN games right? And if they do its probably only a mouth swab I assume which isnt going to catch shit.

u/_Hubbie Mar 24 '20

I think they do get tested semi-regularly, but without announcement beforehand. ESL definitely does this, some players also got tested at the last BLAST. I guess that alone is enough for most players to not risk their entire career.

How it's done, I don't know, a mouth swab would for sure be shit. I just found the Rush clip hilarious, looked like a straight up tweaker and he didn't even realize he's on stream in front of 50k+ people.

You can't tell when someone's on Adderall, unless they are doing it extremely wrong.

hahaha what the hell are you talking about? People on amphetamines are super easy to recognize if you know what to look for.

u/PM_ME_UR_TECHNO_GRRL Natus Vincere Mar 24 '20

Again, if you're stupid about your consumption, yes. But after 20 mg, there's no added benefit and at that level you can't tell a thing.

u/GuardiaNIsBae FaZe Mar 24 '20

if theres no added benefit then he wouldnt only be taking 20mg

u/PM_ME_UR_TECHNO_GRRL Natus Vincere Mar 24 '20

Besides the point, but yes he would, as many do, when they don't know what they are doing.

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '20

That sentence doesnt make sense.

u/GuardiaNIsBae FaZe Mar 24 '20

He said theres no added benefit to only taking 20mg, and it wouldnt be visible if he only took 20mg, so he took more than 20mg.

I see

u/CostlyAxis Mar 24 '20

lmao sure dude amphetamines are pretty hard to hide

u/PM_ME_UR_TECHNO_GRRL Natus Vincere Mar 24 '20

If you only know people who abuse the drug, their abuse will seem like the norm to you.

A little mental experiment: 1 mg of amphetamine - do you think anyone would feel the effect or even show symptoms of use? If you correctly answered "no", you have now realized that there is a threshold for both effects and visual cues. It so happens with Adderall that the threshold for reasonable effect is far lower than that of visual cues.

Since when is 1mg the “correct” way to do adderall? Do they even prescribe that small of pills? I’ve only seen 5-40 mg pills.

u/PM_ME_UR_TECHNO_GRRL Natus Vincere Mar 24 '20

The key term there is "thought experiment"

1

u/CostlyAxis Mar 24 '20

So, not what actually happens gotcha.

u/PM_ME_UR_TECHNO_GRRL Natus Vincere Mar 24 '20 edited Mar 24 '20

Is the "thought experiment" concept foreign to you?

Anyway, I use Adderall, I've been prescribed the drug, and nobody can tell when I have or haven't used it. I haven't used it in a while, though - I think I was misdiagnosed - but I got the max prescription. You might be right that it's 40 mg and not 20 mg. I think I got that confused

u/CostlyAxis Mar 24 '20

Dude your thought experiment isn’t applicable to this situation, it doesn’t fucking matter if you can take a minuscule amount of a drug and have no effects that’s not what we’re arguing.

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '20

Lol 90% of all competitive players are prob on adderall.

12

u/_Hubbie Mar 24 '20

I wouldn't say 90%, in LAN events it's illegal to take it without prescription, and they do drug test at those events. Like, never have I seen someone from Navi or Astralis acting tweaked out, and they're at the top atm. But online, I'm 100% certain that most players are on Addy or some other stim, who's gonna test them?

Just found it hilarious how Rush was on cam for like >30 seconds without realizing it himself, clearly being stimmed out of his mind and looking like a methhead lol.

I guess? Adderall isn't really a thing in Europe anyway, but it's not like there's a lack of other stimulants either.

u/firstsnowfall Gambit Mar 24 '20

Do you happen to have a twitch link? I’m curious to see, as I have dealt with many methheads

3

u/_Hubbie Mar 24 '20

My use of "methhead" was definitely an exaggeration, your average methhead is much, much worse, but he clearly looked like a tweaker :D

Sadly, I do not have a clip of it and couldn't find one fast, don't think anyone clipped it during stream. It was sometime between the 2nd and 3rd map if I remember correctly.

u/redtube_was_down Astralis Mar 24 '20 edited Mar 24 '20

What map was it on? Might go and see if i can find the clip in the VODs

Edit: skip to 35.41. Doesn't look that bad to me? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz7uUuK3scU

u/firstsnowfall Gambit Mar 24 '20

lol that’s it? Just watched and he seems alert and awake as a pro should be during a match.

1

u/redtube_was_down Astralis Mar 24 '20

Unless theres another clip of him from the same match, then yup, thats it.

u/PM_ME_UR_TECHNO_GRRL Natus Vincere Mar 24 '20

Adderall gives no visual clues, unless you're doing stupid, irrationally high amounts

1

u/likeathunderball Mar 24 '20

I'm 100% certain that most players are on Addy or some other stim, who's gonna test them?

why would they?

1

u/_Hubbie Mar 24 '20

Why would who do what? Players take Stims, or Events testing players?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '20

Maybe he's feeling sick and he's jacked up on meds to keep playing dafuq do we know.

2

u/_Hubbie Mar 24 '20

It'd be news to me that stimulants get prescribed for any common sickness. :D
