MotherBoard investigates how smart drugs could be a game changer in the world of professional gaming, and whether they will give gamers a competitive edge.

Nootropics, or smart drugs, were once the domain of a select few biohackers testing the limits of brain enhancement.

In the third episode of Humans+, Motherboard goes to San Francisco to meet with Ben Watley and Alex Novosad, two members Gankstars, one of the first esports teams to be officially sponsored by a Nootropics company, to see how smart drugs could be a game changer in the world of professional gaming, and whether they will give gamers a competitive edge.
