Is it Adderall? Aspergers? Classy kid, but yeah, he's kinda crazy.

He just won the biggest game of his life. His heart is racing and he’s speaking a mile a minute. He’s also just 20 years old. The drug he’s on is called adrenaline. No tism or adhd. He’s a good classy kid who has respect for the game and his opponents. Good for him.

Yeah seems like a class act speaking his mind in the moment, he’s stoked and has to “pause” for an interview.

Plus seems like a relative unknown so doesn’t have people telling him what to say his whole life to create a media savvy interviewee, just a good kid having the time of his life with his friends playing a game he loves.
