Like schrodinger's douchbag, but for video games. A person who plays a game seriously, but decides if they were "trying" or not depending on the outcome of the game.
"Alright I'm going to start trying now"
*person loses the match*
"I wasn't trying at all."
"Yeah sure, you're a schrodinger's tryhard, just another sore loser."

I'm just trying to enjoy this game, but these tryhards are pestering me in chat to think harder and play smarter.
I stopped playing with Jim because he's just too intense to play with when he's always tryharding.
I used to watch tryhard pros on Youtube, but then, I asked myself what the point was and switched to watching funny Youtubers instead.
