Genuine question — do you guys think there are legit players out there who take substances to boost their reflexes, focus, or adrenaline during matches?
I mean, for a regular person, your reflexes aren’t always perfect 24/7. Even on caffeine or energy drinks, there are off-days. But some pros just seem insanely consistent, almost too sharp all the time. Not accusing anyone, just curious if it’s a thing in the scene or if it’s all natural talent + practice.
probably not, but also shit like adderalll and drugs like that don’t give consistency. i’ve been on addy for 4 years and it’s def not a cure all for focus
Shroud has admitted they were taking adderall when he played for c9 cs team but idk in t1 valorant but its not like they get drug tested so its not impossible for some players take adderall

shrouds link couldnt be found but semphis said that they took adderal at 7:48
all if not nearly all pros use caffeine consistently to help aid performance. lots of eu players use snus as well which helps them stay grounded, despite being actually harmful
u can get most performative effects of adderall just by having good sleep and nutrition
Some probably have taken at some point but in Zekken's case he has always played this well for 4 years and in ranked too. Same for Aspas, Jemkin, Kajaak, etc.....
Obviously lol some may be medically diagnosed med or just hush hush. You can see it in their eyes.
