I think it won't help that much in sc, but way more in CS if you got faster reflexes.

I dont think it would help most, dont you think like running a mile before a game would help more?

lets get serious: how many people over here do you think would take drugs to POSSIBLY improve their performance with even greater risk of screwing their game up in the end?

People always say, i think i think. the fact is the people that take these drugs wont be comfortable playing any other way. i doubt any of them started taking these drugs because, HEY it will help me play sc. i think it was more, fuck im so baked what should i do? lets find a new game. You either arent a recreational user and have no right to put any input in terms of the effects on each person and personal choice or you are a recreational user and you will say i wouldnt have it any other way. its a lost debate until there are administrative rules set in place, which will come as soon as pro gaming gets more publicity. until parents see these effects on tv or read about it, there wont be any real threat to these gamers.

Testing in e-sports? come on that's the most stupidest crap i've ever heard. Let them take it, if your a good enough gamer it doesn't matter what you take, plus weed doesn't improve your performance it just makes everything seem funnier.

certain low dosed amphetamines like euphoria will definitely improve your game over several days :/

Honestly, I think even some recreational users will find this quite sad. Using illegal substances is illegal, thus if you are intoxicated out in public you will have to take the consequances. So now if a public event knows, possibly defends or even PROMOTES the use of illegal substances. Thats pretty sad, really.

well. One of the main things is to understand the meaning behind word "e-sport".

"SPORT" - the term includes rules.

So simply.. we cannot say like greeze-man said earlien in this thread.

No.. professional runner is not allowed to take some illegal drugs for running faster.

Professional esport-player is not allowed to take illegal drugs for making game performance better. Either he/she is not allowed to take illegal drugs for fun.

Simple isn't it?
