kek = gaming version of lol
So, in WoW you have the Horde and the Alliance. Whether you choose one or another, you can't talk to a guy from the other "faction", because typed text is run through an in-game translator. Typing "lol" results in "kek" for enemy players.
Also in Korean, ㅋ stands for "k" sounds, raspy, stifled laughter; so 3 together "ㅋㅋㅋ" is like "hahaha". In Starcraft, the onomatopoeia ㅋㅋㅋ was written as "kekeke", because the game didn't support Korean language at launch.
"lel" is another one of those, but no gaming background. Someone changed "e" for "o" and thought it meant the same.
