The phrase is commonly traced to Korean League of Legends meme culture, especially edited content framing a Faker-versus-Dopa matchup as “자존심 강한 두 천재의 대결.” Its exact first use is hard to pin down, but it spread through YouTube, game communities, and broader meme spaces; the tone later shifted from sincere epic-rival framing to ironic commentary on petty or low-level rivalries.
