  • The Overwatch League channel generated the most PogChamps: The emote was used 16.7k more times on the Overwatch League channel than the combined value of the Riot Games and ESL_CSGO channels.
  • CS:GO Fans were the most active PogChampers and LuLers: Of the 74.6k messages sent in our sample, 41% were generated by viewers on the ESL CS:GO’s channel.
  • Esports and LuL are synonymous: The LuL emote was mentioned 3.5k more times by 2.7k more chatters than the PogChamp emote.
