tryhard
Overly intense competitor
A tryhard is someone who puts in excessive effort, especially in competitive contexts where others are playing casually.
The term is mildly derogatory, suggesting the person cares too much about winning or impressing others: Don't be such a tryhard, it's just a pickup game.
Common in gaming culture, where it describes players who use every possible advantage in casual matches.
Sometimes spelled as two words or hyphenated.
