The unofficial HomeStory Cup drinking game

The time is upon us for HomeStory Cup, one of the most joyous events of the year! Pro-gamers from all around the world gather at Take's flat in Krefeld, Germany, for good company, plentiful drink, and some of them even to play StarCraft 2. While we're all sure to be there in spirit as we watch the stream, there's plenty of fun to be had at home as well. To that end, here's a 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! Or at least, more responsibly than me.

Thanks to stuchiu, Zealously, and the SC2 LR clique for their help in making this list.
