What it means

A gamer joins a German match because of its low ping, pretends to understand the squad by saying “ja,” and is eventually kicked after being yelled at. In the next squad, the medic quietly admits that he also does not know German, so the two players stick together for the rest of the match. The joke is about finding unexpected solidarity with another outsider in a chaotic online game.
