Basically, when Kespa players switched over from BW, there was a lot of BW elitism going around where BW fanboys would claim that the current crop of SC2 players were trash BW rejects, and thus, the actually good BW players would dominate them after switching to SC2. BW did indeed have many talented RTS players switching over, so the player pool was injected with a bunch of extremely skilled contenders, so there were many instances of recently-switched BW players taking out the old-school SC2 players in tournaments. While this was happening, we had BW elitists everywhere (presumably salty because they perceived SC2 being the main cause of BW's demise) talking shit about ESF players, citing the Elephant in the Room article, and so on. One of the things these BW elitists would do is spam KESPAAAA whenever a Kespa player would win. As a result, people now parody their ridiculousness by spamming the same thing when a Kespa player loses to one of the SC2 "old guard", or whatever you want to call them.
