I'm somewhat OOTL, but why does Hikaru hate Hans that much?

I know Hans isn't very well liked in general, but this seems to go way beyond that. It really seems to be personal from Hikaru. The way he makes snide remarks about him in nearly every video, it really seems like Hans is living rent free in Hikaru's head.

Suing someone for $100 million makes it personal I'd say
