Well done to the Winners of TI5...But lets talk about the elephant in the room.

It can't just have myself who noticed, how spaced out and odd EG were acting as they received the Aegis. From prior experience I have a fair idea how to tell if someone has been taking something, and the way they were acting threw up a lot of Red Flags.

I do understand they may have been a little overwhelmed, but the majority of the team is very experienced with large tournaments and claiming first prize.

It may or may not be the reason why the closing ceremony was very abrupt and uncoordinated. i.e. "Congratulations EG winning the biggest prize in DotA history...DJ Set...Fin" I for one believe this could be the case.

What are your views?

Edit 1: Well I see this has opened up quite a one sided discussion. Basically the majority of people here believe that there is no cause for concern that their favorite teams MAY be taking performance enhancing drugs.

They don't seem to mind that there could be legitimate teams out there losing to unscrupulous behavior or that there could be a possibility that sponsors or management may encourage drug use in order to get results.

And they don't seem to want to entertain the simplest solution to both squash any PED taking rumors and ensure the safety of the players, which would be a simple drug test.

If there's nothing to hide, then why not bring them in to be sure. No Harm, No Foul.

Edit 2: Would there be any downside to bringing in Drugs testing into E-Sports?

What if EG lost tonight and it turned out they were clean and CDEC were high as kites? Or what if CDEC made it from Wild Card to Grand Final without any 'help' and EG were on PED's for the whole thing?

Is that fair?
