EPT
With that in mind, I’ve been trying to consider ways in which western e-sports might engage with that idea of a “monopoly” on incredibly high-level play without necessarily engaging with the Korean pros in a way that could erode their reputation.
You’re going to have to be very careful with what I’m advising here, because it’s very much still in beta, but please take it into consideration when you’re playing next.
StarCraft Monopoly:
Each player has to establish a base on the board by grabbing as many maps of the same colour as possible and building them up so that other players can only escape them by paying a filthy tithe!

Players begin the game with 400 minerals, and are granted an additional eight every time they pass Go. All prices are in minerals. “Sneak a High Yield” squares give an instant 20 minerals. You may have noticed that the maths of this aren’t too similar to normal monopoly; this is because I am a callous and fickle man, and expect to improve the game by guessing at numbers. This is unlikely, and I apologise for it. While making this board I realised how much Jim Raynor looks like Sawyer from Lost.
If you land on a TramLiquid square, open this page and stare at it until your next turn.
Players who land on an All In space should draw a card from the stack of All In cards. You may add to this list yourself, but here are some provisional All In cards I’ve made up for the purpose of the game.

Ideally, players should cut out the names of popular figures from the foreigner SC scene and tape them to poker chips to act as counters. Players must attempt to emulate the behaviour of their chosen player as well as possible.
Praise for SC2 Monopoly form the critics:

Easily the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. There aren’t even costs for most things, why would anyone do this to themselves.
The drinking game rules make even less sense than the normal ones. I had to drink antifreeze and went blind. I will never see the faces of my loving wife and child because of this game. I weep bitter, bitter tears every night as I curse the man who made it.

I’ll include the criticisms of anyone who provides documentary evidence that they’ve played the game (evidence that you have been blinded by drinking antifreeze will be accepted in the absence of video).
The Drinking Game:
If you’d really like to go all-out, play a hand of Trozz’ TeamLiquid Magic the Gathering for every turn you take. The rules of each game may cross one another, in which case ten minerals may be exchanged for one mana. Drink if you are confused by the ways in which rules can be crossed between the two games.
Other Metagame-Metagames:
StarCraft Clue(do) – Detective Overlord has been killed, and you must find the dastard responsible! Choose from such villainous cads as Scarlet Science Vessel, Magenta Marine and Violet Vulture!
Aha! I know, it was the Magenta Marine with the C14 Gauss Rifle on the shattered hulk of a dead planet once known as Aiur!
Fun for all the family! Guaranteed!*
Nydus Worms & Medivacs – Modelled on the popular children’s game Snakes and Ladders, players must navigate an increasingly treacherous board, avoiding the Nydus Worms and hoping to land on Medivacs in an effort to be first to reach the end! Who knows what bounty awaits them there?
