ok i have a few things.. since he mostly plays randoms and not very frequently it is possible that he had a really long winning streak. he obviously has lost multiple times and uploaded some losses. i can remember in one vid he said he does not upload losses most of the time because of bad play that lead to the defeat wich is not very pleasant to watch.. he never claimed to be one of the best.. and yeah if he gets cocky about some comments it´s not nice but you can´t really judge him on that, since he gets shittalked day and night. including videos uploaded that discuss every controversial thing he said. he quit most of his community including plays and events, since we all know how toxic a good part of the rtw community is. (arranged playes etc. all gone because of constant trolling and flaming)..
hes not the best and i think he does not believe he is, but he sure is frustrated from all the shittalk and also by all the elite players criticizing on every game what he could had done better and why his win does not count and that hes all around shit for not playing competitive.
take it lil easy on this man hes just some rtw player who uploads plays he likes, i honestly have not seen any other game where a good youtuber gets hated so much for not playing competitive.
one reason for that is that most of the good rtw players upload videos and screenshots to proof how good they are and where they stand in the scene. and they don´t get that poms motivation is different. (obviously since a win over a random proves nothing) he uploads because he likes the game and has fun playing it and somepeople like his commentary.

While I generally view PoM as an innocent random with a mostly jubilant spirit, I believe he is, to a degree, arrogant and unwilling to admit some players are better than him JUST BECAUSE they're toxic assholes. He will take comments, trolling, and teasing way too far, which is a little disturbing since he can have such strong emotional reactions over the conditions of a video game...this leads one to rightfully question is receptiveness to genuine criticism that is just blunt; he often just conflates this as trolling.
PoM isn't a bad player in particular, but I wouldn't also say he's a particularly GOOD player, either. His knowledge of things in the game, upgrade decisions, and builds, are mediocre level at best, if not plain ignorant. This is just the truth if you play 31k or cwb at the clan level and know a about the nerdy mechanics, it's not trolling. PoM's ignorance is a partial source of his apparent arrogance, so it's somewhat pardonable in my opinion. What isn't pardonable is his hyper sensitivity to criticism and light teasing; to me it's a sign of arrogance and a level of seriousness that isn't sustainable for healthy video gaming. Similar levels of seriousness from clannies are the EXACT same reason the community is so toxic and unbearable at times; why in a word so many great players left such an awesome and complex game with a tough learning curve.
He is also far from transparent about his win/loss records...he will change his name after every game nor admit who he is in any game to prevent any possibility of his being recorded as losing any battle. The euphamism may be that PoM is simply protecting himself from trolls, but the reality could be that he wants to be seen in a certain way; as someone who wins far more than he loses, when the reality could be rather different. And to save face, it makes sense to admit you lose some battles, so as not to make it obvious you hide the fact you lose battles.
By my standards, an honest, humble person would feel no need to make such obscurities and bicker so much about individuals and battles. He clearly shows some degree of insecurity about the game which I find immature, overall. That being said, he's not a bad guy at all by rtw community standards ^_^
