"Hwaiting" just means "Fighting" with pretending Korean accent since Koreans have difficulties to pronounce F. | ||

It originated from a now out-of-business Cell Phone company with the initials KTF. The company used the initials to say "Korea Team Fighting" for the 2002 World Cup Korean Soccer Team. It has since been shortened to "fighting." | ||

It started in Brood War proleagues when, as the countdown that began the game was going, the audience would cheer, "(1, 2, 3) -insert player's name- fighting!", then another group of the audience would do the same for the other player, whomever they supported. However because of the korean accent, "fighting" sounded more like "hwaiting". So before a match for example, you'd always hear "hana..dul..set...Lee Jae Dong hwaiting!", and then a pause, and then the same for the other player. It's transferred over a bit to sc2 but not as dominant as it was in the proleagues. | ||

He's flipping a table The (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ has spread like wildfire starting exclusively in the Starcraft 2 community when major streamers for the e-sport had begun getting widespread ddos attacks (Denial of Service). On 7/03/11, many viewers of the streams noticed a concerning amount of downtime from these attacks when one single poster by the name of johnelwaysteeth channeled his rage into one simple emoticon: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻. He was so mad he was starting to flip tables and fuck shit up. This caused a overflow of spam on the reddit thread of it, and a hand full of different variations. The original poster received a influx of upvotes as the spammers were mass downvoted. The meme continues a very strong showing on r/starcraft, as well as most online streamer’s for Starcraft 2, ecspecially ROOTDestiny’s stream. Other variations include: (ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻ ┬──┬ ¯\(ツ) ┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻ ┻━┻ ︵ ¯\_(ツ)/¯ ︵ ┻━┻ http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/igzoz/_/ | ||

BUY ALL THE THINGS one gets me, cause its so shitty and stupid. I could have swore herp derp was a bannable offense though. it rightfully should be. I've seen people right mountains of text explaining a topic for some retard to come and go "herp derp what are hydras" not even get warned for it, and thats all they say. Or add on some irrelevant shit sentence to cover it up | ||

 By the way, Table flipping was used so much eventually on some stream chats that they made it a bannable offense. Like 50% or more of the chat was table flipping which made it too hard to read anything. It seems to be a bit less now. It was very funny when DongRaeGu typed it during his MLG game though =) Made people aware of how attached to the community he is. Everything has it's place and time, something can be considered very annoying but once in a while very funny in the right occasion. | ||

Even "fighting" doesn't make sense; how does that even come around to "good luck" or "go!". | ||
