Not sure if this is more of a blog or SC2 general...

As part of the ~~passion spam~~ LR thread for the WCS Global Finals I decided to assign each of the 16 Blizzcon players a drink (shot or shooter) + Show Spoiler +

shot is pour of liquor meant to be consumed in one drink, a shooter is a mixed drink

. As of yet, there isn't any sort of drinking game associated with these drinks, but I thought to share them somewhere easier to find.

I tried to limit it to popular / common drinks (both to make it easier to find drinks and also hopefully to find ones people were familiar with).

Seed #16 Jaedong
+ Show Spoiler +

+ Show Spoiler [explanation] +

At first I was lost with what to do for Jaedong... Then I wrote out his name as JD and practically laughed to myself. Looking up drinks with Jack Daniel's made it easier. I was going to use 3 wise men until I found the Anaconda. The double entendre with "raises your anaconda" was too perfect.

Seed #15 Innovation
+ Show Spoiler +

link
+ Show Spoiler [explanation] +

I had to go past my popular/common list for Innovation. It was between terminator or machine and I found more consistent recipes for this drink

Seed #14 Life
+ Show Spoiler +

+ Show Spoiler [method] +

Any night drinking should include water. Combined with life being so young (unable to drink in most parts of the world) AND actually finding a "Life water" made this choice pretty straight forward.

Seed #13 Classic
+ Show Spoiler +

link
+ Show Spoiler [explanation] +

I could have gone with any straight forward shot... It was between Vodka or Tequila and this just seemed more of a classic.

Seed #12 herO
+ Show Spoiler +

link
+ Show Spoiler [explanation] +

I wasn't super comfortable with this... But after re-watching Captain America (after he rescues the solders) I figured I'd go with it anyway.

Seed #11 Jjakji
+ Show Spoiler +

link + Show Spoiler [explanation] +

I was actually really lost on this one for a while. I even spoke with mYi's PengWin trying to get some insight. After the 3 wise men was free I began to realize that the names actually worked out amazingly well...

Seed #10 soO
+ Show Spoiler +

link
+ Show Spoiler [explanation] +

This one is pretty straight forward. soO has a bunch of recent silver medals

Seed #9 MMA
+ Show Spoiler +

link
+ Show Spoiler [explanation] +

Saw this drink and thought "just needs an 'A' and we have MMA"

Seed #8 Stardust
+ Show Spoiler +

link
+ Show Spoiler [method] +

Maybe the one I'm least happy with. I like the movie Stardust... There's a pirate/smuggler...

Seed #7 Taeja
+ Show Spoiler +

link
+ Show Spoiler [explanation] +

Another one that I ended up picking something uncommon.. (maybe it's more common in other parts of the world). I really wanted something that said "summer" but didn't have any luck. At least I found something with a good connection to Champagne+ Show Spoiler +

If you can't get the Champagne open just take a shot of Vodka!!

Seed #6 SAN
+ Show Spoiler +

link
+ Show Spoiler [method] +

Another one that kind of jumped off the page right away because of the name. There's two different versions and I pretty much just chose the first picture I found

Seed #5 MC
+ Show Spoiler +

link
+ Show Spoiler [explanation] +

There were a few different ones that I could have gone with for the Boss Toss... In the end I just liked the way this one sounded and looked (I have yet to test the taste... soon)

Seed #4 Polt
+ Show Spoiler +

link
+ Show Spoiler [explanation] +

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

Seed #3 Zest
+ Show Spoiler +

link
+ Show Spoiler [explanation] +

Such a popular and easy shooter with lemon!

Seed #2 Hyun
+ Show Spoiler +

link
+ Show Spoiler [explanation] +

I wasn't comfortable enough with "redheaded slut" so I decided on something else with a little heat

Seed #1 Bomber
+ Show Spoiler +

link
+ Show Spoiler [explanation] +

This was one of the first drinks I came across and is named after a Bomber (jet)

+ Show Spoiler [alternate] +

link + Show Spoiler [explanation] +

After posting the B52 I realized how perfect a drink with "Bomb" in the name involving Bomber's sponsor was

Hope you enjoy the WCS Grand finals! If there's a Barcraft near you try a drink in honor of your favorite :D

I like the idea to give each player their own drink. A ready-to-use custom drink menu for WCS barcrafts. Nice work with the images, some of them are really spot on. I'd add a menu-like single image including all of them too.

Challenge "Sprout thy seeds"

Drink one of each of these shots in under 30 mins.

Expected result: Death.

I'm still coming up with a game to use these... But considering we have 8 matches on day 1 that could end up in a LOT of shots...

two-players or two-teams:

Each team either chooses or is randomly assigned a player for each set with a shot for each game in the set prepared, one for either player. After each game in the set, the losing player's team drinks the shot of the player who won.

In the event of a draw game, both teams consume and re-prepare the shot for that particular game. Ties may as well be losses.

In the event of a sweep (x-0 victory in a set) the winning team may consume one of the remaining shots (called a victory lap) to force the losing team to consume an extra shot of the victorious player's flavour. You may do as many victory laps as there are remaining shots on the table.

When I refer to a team taking a shot I mean every player on said team, not just one player.

I am not responsible for anyone dying from playing my game.

EDIT: 8 matches day 1?

I stand by my game.

lol the Jjakji one, not bad....

However, somehow I'd made it my whole life without having tried Johnnie Walker red label. I've had some black and it was good, looking forward to trying some blue label, but never had had a red. As a new fan of scotch and whisky, red label is horrible and disgusting and makes JD's look good.

Absolutely!

Due to me being poor I usually pick up Red Label. Unfortunately I also usually tend to forget the names of better scotchs the next day...

These are all so, so good. Went to Zest to see the obvious reference, then to Bomber to see the obvious reference. Glad they were both there, jump to soO to look for a 2nd-place joke. Perfect. Saw Life's, laughed. Saw jjakji's and it blew my mind. Great job, this thread would be a hit on Reddit I think.

Haha Jjakji's drink is definitely one I'm quite proud of

Glad you liked it and agreed with the obvious ones.
Maybe it's time to finally make a reddit...
