A term popularized in video game "Team Fight Tactics" when describing a playstyle of taking (usually greedy) risks with the ultimate goal of winning the game (first) while knowing that the risk can otherwise lose the player the game (eighth).

The term is flexible as it can be used even when there are fewer than 8 players alive in the lobby. For instance, the term can be used by a player in a lobby of only two players left. This playstyle indicates that the player considers any placing other than first to be an eighth.
