Sweat

A subcategory of 'tryhard' in video games, characterized by:
1. Inhuman reaction times
2. Incredibly fast movement

Most people categorize 'tryhards' as 'sweats', but it's a very different term; 'tryhard' simply means that someone is so keen to win something at all costs, even at the expense of fun, but this does not necessarily mean they have great reaction times or incredibly fast movement. A 'sweat' is always a 'tryhard', but a 'tryhard' might not necessarily be a 'sweat'.

Sweats are most commonly seen in super fast-paced twitch shooter games with a super fast time-to-kill and lightning fast movement speed; these include games like COD, Quake, CSGO, Splitgate, Apex Legends, Fortnite, and the newer Halo games with sprinting.

Sweats are known to be incredibly frustrating to play against, because it almost seems impossible to defeat them, as their skills do not necessarily revolve around critical thinking, muscle memory with aim, or complex strategy, but rather pure biological reaction time, which often cannot be trained, and is genetic/related to age. An old man can train critical thinking and strategy skills, but it is literally biologically impossible for them to train and compete with someone with higher reaction times and reflexes.

Sweats are often associated with the energy drink G-Fuel (which contains large amounts of caffeine, known to boost reaction time and alertness), the stimulant crack cocaine, as well as many other amphetamines, like Adderall.
Joe: gets killed by a player that flew around a corner and killed him quicker than he could react
Joe: "Jesus, that dude is such a sweat. He probably snorted an entire tub of G-Fuel before he hopped on the game today."
