Let me give you the complete etymology of this compound slang word.
It is correct that the first part of this word,
POG, refers to the abbreviation for "play of the game". {Source:
Wikipedia}
And so hence, Pogchamps would technically (and was probably intended to) refer to someone who is so good at a game that they always get
POG.
However, gradually, this term has cultivated a new meaning for members of the streaming website Twitch.tv.
Now, Pogchamps exists as a versatile Twitch emote used to convey something or someone that is
awesome and cool.
The first part of this term,
pog, is also commonly used as an adjective or interjection to convey feelings of shock, excitement, and delight.
There is also now a online Chess tournament called PogChamps.
