I bought a bottle of Pocari sweat the other day and I want to see if this will make me a better Terran player because flash drinks it. I normally play Protoss at a c- level. my average APM is 270-300. I will keep you guys updated with the results.

Flashius, I believe in you.

In all seriousness, you'll still need terran build orders and high APM!

Lol. Maybe it will have a placebo affect. (I wouldn't be surprised if he subconsciously improves his play, because he's sure it will help) well, of course if he things it will work.

If it doesn't have caffeine, whats the big deal? Bring a bucket full and see if it makes a difference
+ Show Spoiler +
Caffeine in repeated doeses triggers kortisol release which in turn activates the fight/flight response easily. I think the players get better mechanical skill from it etc. But if they encounter a style that they aren't used to they will have a harder time coming up with a counter. Since Starcraft seems to be about memorizing BO's and executing correctly from memory, drinking Pocari should help. But if you're laddering on ICCUP just looking for fun it will probably be very frustrating trying to cope with the game and your body being on edge.

Pocari sweat doesn't contain any caffeine. It's basically marketed as a sports drink in Asia, kinda like gatorade here in the states

Pocari Sweat has a very unique taste - not fruity or inorganic. It's...enigmatically indescribable.

it's not so bad, although it'll get a better reputation if the makers had chosen a different name
