It reminds me of incels whining about chad "mogging" them and then going into long winded spergouts where the entire society is at fault for their butthurt.
I guess no one likes to be bested by a smug guy who goes on to become more successful but only a cow with issues gets this thoroughly mentally destroyed by it, Hell, a lot of people in competitive sports purposely act smug as shit because they know it drives their rivals insane and when someone's ego is broken they go into self destruct mode. Wether deliberate or not it seemed to have worked out for Leffen since he is not the one getting banned from tournaments and mocked as an schizo autist.
