How it's used
Beyond its literal meaning in sports or military contexts, this term is frequently used in internet slang to describe a group of people posting identical or patterned comments in a thread. When someone says "跟返個隊形", they are asking others to join in on a joke or a specific sequence of replies to maintain a visual pattern on the screen.
