The "NotLikeThis" emote on Twitch became one of the platform's most iconic global emotes, representing moments of disbelief, disappointment, or when something goes wrong in a stream. The origin of this emote traces back to a specific individual and moment in esports history.

The face in the "NotLikeThis" emote is of Ben "Fishstix" Goldhaber, a well-known esports broadcaster and former employee at Twitch. The emote comes from a specific moment during the Capcom Pro Tour in 2015, where Fishstix was watching a competitive match in the background.
