It's just a meme that qxc fans came up with. qxc at the time was a very popular streamer for his personality and the fact that he actively engaged with the chat/people whispering him in game when most pros would just set themselves to busy and just show gameplay.
This was I want to say early 2011 when maps like Lost Temple and Scrap Station were still being played (on the ladder and in competitions) which include islands. If I remember correctly though I think it had to do the with the fact that when qxc was winning/enormously ahead and there was no reason for the opponent to stay in the game, someone brought up the possibility that the opponent had an island and that qxc should confirm this as their reasoning for not gging yet. I wasn't there when the phrase was first uttered or if it was even made by qxc, but it became an inside-joke for when he would just spam scan the islands on those maps when he was winning or when chat demanded it enough.

Very cool. It'll be interesting to see how well qxc does now that he's focusing more on the game.

Return of the Bandana Terran! I hope he gets back to shape quickly.

had the pleasure of playing a few games with Kevin the other week and found myself up against the wall the entire time with his trademark aggression causing me all sorts of grief. It will be awesome to see his originality return to this age of turtling 2-2 pushing terrans 
Qxc fighting!

That's okay. giX is a Zerg player. He did beat STX in the first round of the losers bracket and is now playing State. Hopefully he can survive in the loser's bracket!

He just lost to State. Too bad.
