The Drinking Game

- Not endorsed in any way by TaKeTV or HomeStory Cup

by TheOneAboveU
[image loading] - TL_TripleM

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.

The condition 'anyone goes full-foreigner' alone is probably enough to kill if you go by the LR definition of going full-foreigner.

"David Kim is mentioned for whatever reason."
"Anyone talks about someone being an EPS champion."
"Anyone makes the "look at the souply" joke."

These... these are just cruel. Think of livers.

This isn't a game, this is a death sentence... not just because so much money but because the amount of alcohol you will need to buy to keep having drinks would make you go broke.

Of water. Or maybe oxygen, since that much water could probably kill you too.

Just please be careful people, I cannot explain to you how painful pancreatitis can be. If you only knew, you would never touch alcohol again.

That's incredibly sad to hear. Moderation will be had!

I don't get the souply joke...
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

ToD, a frenchman, has been a caster for a few years, and is well-known for emphasising the disparity between two players by saying "look at the souply". As a result his co-commentaters will often say this as a nod to him during a cast

I know who's ToD

But why souply and not supply? But OK, I'm not drinking anyway(I would get wasted after 3 shots, haven't drunk(?) properly for years now, just drinking for the taste(1 glass of whiskey per ... 3 months probably? ), was just curious

This rule set will result in world wide spikes in alcohol poisoning cases. It's only 10:30am EST here, on a Thursday, how am I supposed to keep up? LOL
