YYDS(Yong Yuan De Shen, 永远的神) literally means "eternal God". It is used to describe that someone is cool, awesome, powerful.

The word 永远的神 was created by Ruo, a Chinese League of Legends streamer. During the stream, Ruo praised pro LoL player Uzi with the word 永远的神. This meme subsequently spread, making almost every people to jokingly call Uzi "God". But this meme only spread in Chinese LoL community in the early days.

With time going by, people gradually started to use the acronym YYDS to refer 永远的神, and this expression was also adopted by the public. For example, Luckin Coffee used YYDS as the tagline for its ice latte.

YYDS was later widely accepted during Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, where the media used YYDS to praise the athletes.
Uzi, YYDS!
