I don't know all of them but I'll try to fill up as much as possible)
Innovation:Bu Lu(A famous general in Three Kingdoms) // Because of his style leans more towards frontal engagements and macro, there're similarities between how he plays and how lu bu fights, as his great physical strength and martial arts encourages him to take head on engagements at war.
soO:Bonjwa of lost,Epic Nine Second. // Poor soO loses a lot during the finals, and as we counted right now he should have nine premier tournament second places.
Classic:Chin,Artanis. // Come on guys just look at him, total protoss trapped in human form.
Rain:VSVRVB // Rain is famous for his impeccable defense. During Hots he really likes to jump on all tech trees of protoss, hence the building hot keys.
Paring:Jigglypuff // Jigglypuff is the name of a pokemon. The sound of that name in Chinese is very similar to the sound of "Parting" in Chinese.
Zest:King is back,Dead is back // Although Zest has a massive fan base and used to be THE best player, he's been hiccuping here and there in tournaments, so the meme was born(Hey Zest is BACK! Wait he's dead again)
Stats
eratul // That's because he used to have bigger chin, then he did plastic surgery to shorten it. The process is similar to how dark templars cut off their connections to Khala.
TY
rime Juan,Tlash,King of harass // TY's play style is very focused on harassments and muti-prongs.
Flashrime of Consevative Religion,Fording,too small // I'll just focus on "too small" here. So years ago Flash was invited to a Chinese tournament, however he refused to come because he said the tounament was" too small". Now this meme is just to make fun of him as his cocky attitude.
sOs:Dog(Cheese) bro,$O$,the first of the Greenwing three dogs,the first of the three dogs(sOs Jim Has) // sOs really likes to cheese, so he's a "dog"(cheeser). He somehow performs better when there's more money on the line, hence the nickname $o$.
Maru:Little angel,the second of the Greenwing three dogs // Becasue he's really short and he was once the savior of terran so he's called little angel. He also likes to cheese(just like Rouge and sOs), so they're called the three dogs of Jinair.
True:King of rash // The rash here means acting rashly. It starts with his match against soO a while back on Habitation Station where about 700 roaches died. Before that both of them were known to mass a lot of units(especially roach) and simply pound their opponents to death. TRUE won that game, therefore he was crowned as the king of irrational play.
Bbyong:Monster of mech,Terran sOs // Bbyong likes to mech and cheese(mac and cheese????), hence the nickname.
Life:Chick,Bonjwa of prison,King of zergling // During 2014 WCS global finals the caster Xiaose promised life couldn't win the tounaments and insisted to call him a "chick"(weak player), however he won so the xiaose curse worked. Many thought he was behind bars after the match-fixing, so "Bonjwas of prison".
herO:Dancer with lewd smile,conquettish unrestrained base // herO likes to dance with his stalkers when he’s winning, and many Chinese thought his smile is quite lewd.
Byul:Bonjwa of suck // I think it was during one of his SSL matches? Or something like that. Anyways he was sucking one of his hatches for mana with vipers and he accidently killed that hatch with it. It’s quite a rare mistakes for pros.
Impact:Bonjwa of weld // I have no idea
Stork:Command-in-chief,Royal Police,Code S coach,fire totem,Benevolence and righteousness and unparalleled // They’re mainly to do with Stork’s position within the Samsung team.
Reality:Reality the Great // Or as we called it. “Reality the Great Construction Cooperation.” He gained a massive fan base after his game against hydra in SPL 2014 for his mind crushing turtling defensive city-building mech’in-it-happen super late game. Also he has an incredibly calm looking game face.
aLive:Old monk // Maybe because of his glasses or his looks? I’m not 100% sure.
Jaedong:Global second,King of the devils // Not sure
Fantasy:Fantachick,Son of Boxer // His ID “Fantasy” sounds like “Fantachick” in Chinese.
Supernova:King of banshee // Supernova is known for his great Banshee micro.
Taeja:King of ghost // Taeja really is a late game master and especially good with his ghosts.
Byun:God of martial arts // Mainly because of his excellent micro
Mvp:IQ Terran // Not sure
RorOrincess // Not sure
Bly:Ulkrine F91 // Chinese caster F91 is known for his unorthodox play, just like Bly. And he’s Ukrainian.
Neeb:King of soccer // Neeb played a lot of pvp on the way to be champion at Kespa cup. He really likes disruptors and showed his great disruptor micro. When he joggles his disruptors many fans can see that as soccer players kicking balls.
Special:Leader of gang // That meme is a little bit stereotypical because of how Mexicans are often thought to be in gangs and selling drugs.
Elazer:SC2 Royce // Not sure.
Genius:The monkey king // Not sure
Hastem:Flame red lip // Come on guys just look at him
Hydra:Emperor of sea // Because the “Hy” sound in “Hydra” sounds a lot like the character “sea” in Chinese.
