Whoever follows a game in the live ticker does not sit silently in front of the screen. They cheer, curse, hold their breath. Emoji reactions give that a place: one tap right at the event, without a comment section and without moderation.
How reactions work
Fans react to individual entries with emojis – from fire to thumbs up to tears. Every tap counts, repeatedly too. The total is shown on the entry, broken down by emoji. You decide per entry whether reactions appear on opponent events, and you can reset reactions when needed.
A game night in reactions
On 22 September 2026, the Nürnberg Ice Tigers beat Adler Mannheim 5:3. The five Nürnberg goals collected 2,955 reactions in total. The numbers rise with the game: 333 on the 1:0, 430 on the 2:2, 553 on the 3:2, 477 on the 4:3. The 5:3 at 59:37 drew 1,162 reactions – more than any other moment of the night.
Reactions show not only that fans are there, but when they are most engaged.
What you can read from them
- Which moments move fans: deciding goals, equalisers, late scenes.
- How a game builds: reactions rise when it gets tight.
- Which texts work: entries with context often get more than a bare result.
- What interests partners: attention that shows at specific match moments.
After the game
On the archived match page, reactions stay visible, but no new ones are added. The archive keeps a record of how the game was experienced live – a piece of atmosphere no match report contains.
