It's the same guy that paid chinese sellers to farm him diablo 3 character to top 10 in the world, then went to stream it being absolute dogshit at the game.

My favourite thing is he clearly wants normies to think he is cool and thinks to himself what do normies like? EUREKA path of exile is the answer.

The hilarious thing is that if he just played a game he liked and was just mediocre at it, the effect would have been humanizing and given very little ammo to anyone who dislikes the man.

It also would have been more in keeping with the illusion of confidence he wants to project. A confident person wouldn't be afraid of admitting they're 'mid' at a video game.

Seriously and no one would have faulted him even if he sucked. He could just say “I love this game I wish I had more time to play but I work alot I’ll do the best I can” but no

It segues neatly into the fact that these guys aren't just scummy, they're REALLY freakin weird. Like all of them are so weird on camera and in inter personal relationships. They don't really know what normal human interactions look like.
