The PogChampening: How to vote for new permanent Twitch PogChamp

If you are familiar with the Twitch community, you know just how iconic and ubiquitous is the PogChamp emote.

PogChamp was basically synonymous with Twitch chat, one of the most used Twitch emotes in platform's history.

The legendary expression of combined surprise and excitement was encapsulated for eternity with PogChamp, and it seemed the emote would stay on Twitch as long as Twitch exists.

Unfortunately, due to some questionable statements from Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez, the face behind the emote, the PogChamp emote was removed from Twitch in early January of this year.

Soon after it was removed, Twitch announced their plan to change the face of PogChamp each day, with an idea to have daily 24h PogChamp emotes, showcasing different streamers from different communities.

To capture the exact iconic expression from the original PogChamp emote is not an easy thing to do. For many of them, Twitch viewers felt like they were missing the point of PogChamp, but some were praised for their proper expression.

 

In total 35 streamers were featured as a daily PogChamp emotes, and now it is time to choose the permanent one.
