It's the attitude of someone who has already decided they've won before the first move — a kind of calm, almost contemptuous certainty rooted in knowing they're the most skilled person in the lobby. Drawing from gaming slang where 'clap' means to decisively beat an opponent, clap energy is less about the act and more about the aura: that pre-elimination swagger that makes enemies nervous before the match even begins.
(transitive) To clap to the rhythm of (a song).
