Josh Brother Syndrome 

A congenital condition that the tentative editorial DSM-VI defines as a high level of confidence in ones own abilitiy and game knowledge to the point that it is detrimental to those surrounding them, coupled with a immediate breakdown when faced with adversity/a single failure. Once faced with failure psychologists agree the primary coping mechanisms used are "unhealthy self-soothing"(imbibing alcohol) and "compulsions and risk taking"(rushing long A with Galil on save round).

The root cause of this syndrome stems from a down-regulation of dopamine and serotonin receptors(calcium channel deactivation) when the stimulus of "being the best" becomes absent. Down-regulation has also been found to occur when engaging in an activity where new stimulus is not being presented as frequently as every 7 seconds. Alcohol has been shown to improve dopamine reuptake but lower game sense, resulting in a net zero effect on executive function ability.
