Video idea: The guys play league play with aim assist off, no warm up round. Should be fun to watch them struggle for once or just dominate as always

[@GaryRichards813]

Topic for the podcast: thoughts on mandatory drug tests and psychological check ups on pro players. I imagine a lot of guys spend most of their time in front of a monitor; it’s gotta be really easy to become depressed/lost in abuse.

[@OmegaSai]

Drug test NEED to be implemented into the League. Seeing Diamondcon obviously pop an Adderall before the OpTic match tilted me hella. They don’t need to be doing drugs before matches

[@iMTweaaaK]

@@OmegaSai Lol I'm an OpTic fan and take Adderall as a medication for ADHD, and THAT was NOT adderall. It looked to me like one of the "BoomBoom sticks" that are pretty much all natural nasal inhalers (think vicks vapor rub). That being said, I do agree with you that everyone in the league should get mandatory drug tested (just like they do in other professional sports leagues). It is only fair and will only help CDL and their credibility. I know that some COD professionals have come out and talked about Adderall abuse in the league and I do think that a lot (more than we think) of pros use it to gain that edge over their opponents.

[@Fcrzy]

@@OmegaSai you really think someone is gonna be doing something illegal on camera.. LIVE ? The players have a chance to get up from their chairs at times. I’m sure they’re smart enough to get up and do it somewhere else lol 😆

[@OmegaSai]

@@Fcrzy I have the video on twitter, GG tho lmao everyone seen it

[@josea6783]

This question is more so addressing what happened to Fero. Nobody know/ what happened and I believe it should stay that way. But at the end of the day, he wasn’t healthy. Something like that could have been prevented if we just check on the players. Carris Levert from the NBA got his life saved by a physical checkup. It could potentially save some guys from the CDL too.

[@hardy3090]
