It's that time of the year again! A completed BlizzCon can only mean one thing: The next edition of everyone's favorite StarCraft II tournament/party/fanboydream, HomeStory Cup, is around the corner. And since everyone's still kind of tired from all the excitement of the WCS Grand Finals, we thought we'd help you out a bit with relaxing from what was an emotional rollercoaster. So, in memory of Waxangel who years ago introduced the first edition of this game, we bring you the updated 2017 edition of the unofficial HomeStory Cup Drinking Game.
Remember, this drinking game is all in good fun, and fun ends as soon as you let things get out of hand. So please, drink responsibly! And not with your kids. Friends are fine, though.
