Fans across Taiwan gathered to support the WBC Chinese team! LINE launches baseball cheering special effects + Team Taiwan free stickers for limited time download
As baseball games have become a hot topic again recently, many fans are paying attention to the results of the games every day, and social platforms are also full of various cheering messages. LINE has also recently launched an interesting chat room interactive feature, allowing everyone to support the team while chatting.
As long as you enter specific keywords in the LINE chat room, a cute cheering animation will appear on the screen. LINE’s popular characters Xiong Da, Bunny and Sally will appear together, with support actions and special effects, turning the entire chat room into an online cheering scene instantly.
This feature does not require downloading any additional tools or updating a special version. It can be triggered by entering keywords in the chat room. For Taiwanese users who are accustomed to chatting on LINE, it is a very easy way to participate in support.

Specify keywords to be made public, and three groups of words can trigger special effects
The triggering method designed by LINE this time is quite simple. Just enter any of the following keywords in the chat room to summon the support animation.
- baseball
- Chinese team
- Taiwan
After inputting, Xiong Da, Tutu and Sally will appear in the chat room screen and perform cheering actions together. The screen looks like they are cheering for the players.
This design is actually somewhat similar to the holiday eggs that LINE has launched in the past. For example, when entering specific text during Christmas or New Year, animation effects will appear. However, this time the theme was changed to a baseball game, which is more relatable to Taiwanese fans. If many people in the chat room enter keywords at the same time, the picture effect will become more lively, and the atmosphere will be like shouting together while watching a football game.
Some people may worry that if everyone keeps entering keywords, the chat room will be washed by messages. LINE actually took this problem into consideration and designed a more considerate little function. When a keyword message appears in the chat room, just click on the keyword link to replay the animation effect.
The advantage of this is that even if you only enter the keyword once, you don’t need to resend the message if you want to watch the animation again. It not only keeps the chat room tidy, but also allows everyone to replay the cute cheering scenes at any time. For group chat, this design is actually quite practical, especially when the game is in progress, everyone can watch animations while chatting, and the whole atmosphere will be more engaging.
The baseball cheering effect launched by LINE this time is a limited-time event and is not a permanent feature. The event runs from 10:00 am on March 4, 2026 to 10:00 am on March 19, 2026.
In other words, the entire event lasts about 15 days. Users who want to experience this chat room easter egg should remember to give it a try during the event period. Usually special effects activities like LINE are launched in conjunction with festivals or popular events, so whether they will return later may depend on whether there are related events in the future.
Team Taiwan free stickers launched simultaneously
In addition to chat room special effects, LINE also launched a set of free stickers for a limited time, with the theme of Team Taiwan, the Chinese baseball team. As long as you add the official LINE account of “Team Taiwan Chinese Baseball Team” as a friend, you can download this set of stickers. The stickers can be downloaded until March 26, 2026, and can be used for 90 days after downloading.
This set of stickers mainly focuses on the theme of support and cheering, matching the common support tone of fans, such as cheering for the players or gathering energy for the game. For fans who usually chat about games in groups, using stickers to express emotions is actually more intuitive than typing.
