200iq or whatever iq thing is a OG thing tbh. It was widely used in cs 1.6 servers back in 2009, 10 for smart plays.

I Call 🧢. 200IQ was big in CS 1.6 lobbies. Way before 2014. Even i used it during 2009.

It's just a common phrase nobody had to invent it's really simple 🤣🤣

[jcoxy]

I like how this isn’t true but we still making vids on it lol

[epi]

I dont think the 200iq comes from gaming but real life(not actual iq tests) but like somebody does something smart for no reason and would be like im so smart 200 iq individual and you just kinda say it for anything slightly smart. I think its bigger in america as we have sayings on the extreme (hurts so much i can die, im braindead, im litterally melting)

Lets go 200iq was invented on my birthday

[alexjones]

This is factually false. Genuinely provably false. Idk who came up with this one but put them back in the company basement.

lmao this is bs, the only 200 iq play you can make in lol is uninstall it and play DotA 2

[akbaraulya]

League also invented Football, Pepe the frog and among us

[idrisali]

that doja play is still one of my favorites of GO era, i was 16 when i saw it live and it changed my perspective on exit frags

[csnorth]

I mean, calling yourself 'high-IQ' jokingly is a thing that's been said for way before league

[TheRecipeLover]

this reminded me of a whole comment section of an Instagram post saying "100 IQ" thinking it's something big

[thevampirekiller]

Idk if it dates back farther but my earliest memory is seeing Shikimaru in the Chunin exams talk about him having an IQ of 200

[SheeeenaH]

"200 IQ" is not an invention that it have an "origin" it is a common word where people can just change to something silly. I hear that word even from 2006 or some shit. If you're gonna talk about origin talk about "IQ" and "EQ". If so, "IQ" and "EQ" came from a frenchman named Binet and IQ and EQ is a gauge of a person's capacity, it can be scaled through Binet's test

[shadowlp]

I Hear that in Cod before and csgo it's way older then 2014

[DreYeon]

huh? wasn't it because of rick and morty i never saw using IQ positively in anything esports related until rick and morty memes came out.
