A Twitch.TV emote used to symbolize hype. Originally featuring an image of Gootecks, the name comes from a gameshow he used to host centered around the use of 'Milk Caps' or 'Pogs' in a game sharing the same name. In late 2020 the decision was made to change the image due to tweets from Gootecks that Twitch did not want to associate themselves with.
It does not mean 'Play of the Game' as the usage of this phrase was largely non-existent until the release of Overwatch in 2016, which PogChamp predates.
The use of 'POGGERS' and other variations of 'POG' are typically derivates of this one emote with their own emote via the FrankerFacez or BetterTwitchTV extensions.
A great emote twitch removed because gootecks(the face of the emote) had some things to say on Twitter about the capital that twitch didn’t like. Mainly used to show excitement or when something is really awesome. Other variants include pog, or pog with a word in front of it ex.
While it used to be of the man Ryan Gutierrez, his tweets lead to his emote, PogChamp, getting removed on twitch. Now, however, twitch have made the emote different everyday; something they're calling the daily PogChamp.
Person 1: Wait, PogChamp got banned?
Person 2: Yeah but twitch is doing the daily PogChamp so it's fine.
PogChamp is an emote used on the streaming platform Twitch intended to express excitement, joy or shock. The image used to show the streamer Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez with a surprised or shocked expression.
