They will use salvia tests which are quick but inaccurate, so lets see when the first false positives come. They ban a huge list of substances but dont check for them (check for steroids by salvia test?) They allow excemptions via letter from a physician. So, huge media hype but nothing of substance? | ||

Drug testing like this can't be cheap so it seems like it's stretching the budget even thinner. Impractical and unnecessary IMO. I heard some CS GO guys were abusing adderall, which is not good. But otherwise I agree, e-sports still taking off. I'd have waited a bit before introducing something like this. | ||

I can understand performance enhancing drugs, like adderall or whatever people take to boost their focus, but things like weed or steroids (being buff and handsome like Stork isnt gonna help you beat anyone) im more skeptical about. There should be a more refined list of bannable drugs updated specifically for eSports, rather than just using the all encompassing sport ban list for video games. Still, I guess it must be done or else people wont take esport seriously. | ||

Then again none of those is in a pro circuit anymore so it doesn't matter. Just wanted to point that out though. And yeah, +1 to all the posters saying it's half-assed and ineffectual. | ||
