Hello Everyone!

Basically every sport has it memes, quotes and especially nicknames. You can take whatever sport you like and you can find e.g. in Tennis the "FedEx" , "Djoker" , "he did a Safin" or "you can not be serious" etc., that are remembered normally for ever and even young generations learn of them when they get into the sport.

And looking for nearly one year of Starcraft 2 history I think it there are many memes, quotes and nicknames which are very "epic" in their relation and should be remembered as long as possible.

So I would like to do a list of them, so that it gets updated regularly and people who actually miss some events (as there are so many of them, that I do not even know how TL writers manage to keep up with that) and single games, where these come up, can look them up here.

And I used the search function and I know that there is this thread, but I do not think that it is satisfying.

I would like to organize them the following UPDATED :

a) General split into
1. memes
Every memes usually is quote by someone, but over time it develops into a overall used saying for some "logic". There will be surely fighting over what is meme and what quote, but please keep it low.

2. quotes
Everyone can be quoted here, players, commentators, interviewers, coaches, trolls, elves or even people who have no further important position in gaming.

3. nicknames
Straight forward, nicknames for everyone who applies also to 2. .


b) Format for 1 entry


"memes/quotes/nickname" (who said it, event/time) [short (REALLY SHORT) explanation of background]

e.g.
"Koreans own white dudes"
(Moon, IEM Hannover 2011) [Carmac made him do it, as first 3 were korean]

IMyonghwa = Gandhi toss

Doesn't seem to like attacking. In his game against Jinro (?), he didn't attack even though he was way way way ahead for a good 10-20 min.

coined by IMseed (?)

iirc, it was IM v 1st batch of foreginers by CSN.

There are a lot of great insider jokes already. Your format however needs some work imho, if your lists grow a little there might be quite the abundance of "????".

My contribution:

Meme's:
The eagles during MLG columbus. Whenever the stream was down or not working properly viewers would watch a stream of an eagle's nest.

Quote's
"Huk: Don't worry, tahts halo"
"Huk: You know, Just saying. .you weren't loss."
"Idra: It turns out, roach/immortal is pretty good against stalkers"

Nicknames:
OGSMC: Kratos protoss, obamatoss, protoss president,
TSL.Clide: Definitly the best player in the world
IM.Nesta: Professor nestea, the professor
Liquid.Jinro: Gorilla terran

Also, there's an sc2 stream meme that everyone a streamer plays against is actually one of day[9]'s alternate accounts.
and of course the Day[J] meme.

This isn't about creating memes, it's about cataloging them. Less 4chan, more KnowYourMeme. Basically, the point of this thread is to explain to newcomers and veterans alike just what the hell people are talking about that make no sense outside Starcraft 2.
