It's used wrong in the Brood War community.

Do me a favour: Every time you write metagame in a sentence, reread it replaced with "game outside the game" and see if it still makes sense. For example:



The metagame refers to doing things outside the rules of the game, be it through interaction with your opponent, distraction, or playing based on hardened assumptions that have become standard for all players to make.

See how this makes no sense in this context? If he was swearing in Korean and telling the guy he was actually Zerg, then he would be owning the metagame. Alternatively, if there was one super powerful strategy that everyone was doing and he was doing the complete opposite to throw his opponent off, he would also be owning the metagame; but, that's not applicable here.
