Emotes and Celebrations: Psychological Warfare (or Fun)

While purely cosmetic, emotes and celebrations can be used strategically, albeit subtly. Performing an emote at the finish line can be a way to taunt opponents or celebrate a hard-won qualification. A well-timed celebration after winning a Crown can be incredibly satisfying. Some players even use emotes to try and distract opponents in certain rounds, though this is rarely effective against experienced players. Ultimately, they are there for fun and self-expression.
