A word that gets used when people can't beat u in a game so the use that as an excuse so they don't seem like bad players

When someone plays a game purely for winning and not for enjoyment. Don't get the wrong idea though as tryhards develop enjoyment from winning, but toxic competitive feelings ensues whenever they lose. Eventually the main motive will shift to purely winning, and they will less enjoy the game. This is coming from a tryhard.
You aren't the same when you go full-on tryhard versus when you play the game for casual entertainment.
