i'm not sure how well it translates into other communities, but in twitch (or adjacent) culture:

W = win

L = loss

just a colloquial way of showing support, although i dont use L so much because it's uninformative and can be inflammatory :p

shortening of Win--so this would be a shorthand way of signifying "this is awesome"
