I think people have watched or read a lot about those old school or fictional competitors, arriving wasted at the event or with a messed up life because that's what the medias sell.

If you are not, you don't even get at the top. I was surprised to chat with a few e-sport competitors a few years ago and learn that they are using drugs to maintain focus.
