sweaty player
Drenched game participant
A sweaty player is someone who tries extremely hard to win in video games, often to a degree others find excessive or annoying.
The image is of someone so intensely focused they're literally perspiring.
The term is mildly derogatory—implying the person takes casual matches too seriously or prioritizes winning over fun: We got destroyed by some sweaty player using meta builds.
Often shortened to sweaty as a noun or adjective: That lobby was full of sweats.
