Semphis: The Adderall Confessions

Back in early 2015, SEMPHIS was still playing for Cloud9. The team was going through changes. Hiko, arguably the best North CSGO M4A4 Skins American player at the time, left the team at the end of 2014, and had been replaced with Shahzeb “ShahZaM” Khan. The team wasn’t as strong, and the effects of Hiko’s absence were clear when they failed to make it out of the group stage at ESL One Katowice 2015, the first Major of the year. ESL released videos with player comms from the event, and the chaotic voice recordings confirmed the suspicions of many fans: Cloud9’s was unable to communicate effectively, especially under pressure.
SEMPHIS and ShahZaM were removed from CSGO AWP Skins Cloud9 not long after Katowice 2015. SEMPHIS went on to join Nihilum, and in an interview with Mohan “launders” Govindasamy, he openly admitted that he and his teammates were on Adderall while actively playing at the previous major. Adderall, he claimed, was at least partially responsible for the team’s chaotic comms at the event. However , it wasn’t just Cloud9-SEMPHIS commented that unprescribed stimulant use was a common practice in the world of professional Counter-Strike.
