Gooteck, a Twitch streamer, has been a source of inspiration for several emote creators. They’ve used his face and facial expressions so many times that PogChamp fans are familiar with it. Therefore, it is not a surprise when a new emote, The PauseChamp got inspired to make PauseChamp emotes.

The Original PogChamp
Since the PauseChamp emotes originated from the PogChamp emotes, people are curious about the latter emotes. PogChamp was made from Ryan Gutierrez’s surprised look at the world around him. Both emotes have their uses on social media platforms.
However, the PauseChamp is slightly different because it shows Ryan’s face with his tight closed mouth. This became a popular emote for users on Twitch, especially in different chat groups. They use it when trying to build up anticipation or suspense among the members of the group. So why does a PauseChamp emote exist?
The Emergence of PauseChamp
As stated earlier, PauseChamp stems from PogChamp, a viral Twitch emote. PauseChamp was made available in 2019, but PogChamp has existed long before that. PogChamp came into existence on Twitch in 2012 to show a shocked or surprised expression. But the emote didn’t stay long, as it was removed nearly ten years later due to some controversy. Ryan had made dubious posts on X about capital riots, and the posts didn’t go down well. The removal prompted a call for a similar PogChamp emote, hence the birth of PauseChamp emote.
What is Twitch?
Twitch is a live-streaming video platform that is widely used in America. On Twitch, users broadcast video games, online sport matches, live streams of daily activities, and so on. Twitch users also create chat groups to discuss these videos and use emotes to convey their feelings.
Additionally, Twitch users felt the need to have an emote that shows anticipation. This is important, especially when waiting for other texts to appear on Twitch. Others wanted the new emote to signify when they can use the PogChamp emote.
