Uhhh, okay. I'm still slightly confused though: Are you asking for pro players that are still playing that you know from the tail end of Source and 1.6, or are you asking for players that you should get to know?

Oh, okay, duh.

Essentially the Adderall scandal itself involved the early 2015 Cloud9 team: n0thing, shroud, seang@res, Shahzam, and Semphis. Beyond that, I can't think of any pro players that were explicitly said to be taking amphetamines, though that may be because I've only followed the pro scene since Dreamhack Winter 2014.

Semphis of ex-Cloud9 fame slipped out that his team was using Adderall during ESL Katowice 2015. That's the only public case.

I have an EC2-A which is good for people with smaller hands. Even though I'm a bad player, I like it a lot, it's comfortable. I hear good things about the FK1/FK2 models also. Not sure about anything else.

Can't you just open the mouse up and remove the weight they put in it?

That video shows exactly what my Deathadder does all the time. Except mine usually snaps up instead of down, maybe because I play reverse.

I had no idea that that was even a thing. That's loving daft.

But in all honesty, my last Sensei broke in an infuriating way (would constantly disconnect then reconnect, usually at vital points), so I don't really trust Steelseries anymore.

For real, I will never go to another mouse brand ever again since coming over to Zowie from a SteelSeries Sensei Raw (and a Rival that died after only a couple months). I have an FK-1, and I have smaller hands so it's the perfect size and outperforms my old Sensei like no ones business.

g502 is legit, bro. If you liked the g5 or the mx518 this is the spiritual and performance-wise successor. The beauty of it is it grips your hand like no other mouse I've ever used so you have very precise aim.

I need a mouse. Not an alien space ship. That's one reason why I have been turned off by the majority of Logitech products (except for the new G810 keyboard, because it actually looks loving normal).

Masturbation and decreased performance in cs:goDiscussion (self.GlobalOffensive)
submitted 3 hours ago by Tk_-
DISCLAIMER: This is a serious topic

I've always masturbated quite frequently throughout my week and whenever I "get off" I feel relieved as one should. But what if this is decreasing my accuracy or reaction times when it comes to CS:GO? A very famous fighter that goes by the name Muhammad Ali said that he would never "make love" to his wife while training or getting prepared for a fight, this would in-turn make his fighting better as I will explain.When you ejaculate you release a hormone called "Testosterone", when this is released you would naturally feel better and calmer. This is not what a fighter like Muhammad Ali would want, he would want to be on his toes and ready for whatever comes at him. So why not apply this logic to CS:GO and other games who require concentration to play? Has there been any evidence towards this kind of issue? Maybe this is all irrelevant and I am in no way saying you should stop masturbating saying it would make you better at CS:GO, but maybe it could.
