Tryharding is a good thing though.

It's the Flaming which is bad. And the two terms are completely unlinked. You can find flamers who are not tryharders, you can find tryharders who are not flamers.

You should always be trying your hardest to win a game.

I know the definition you describe is different however a positive word shouldn't suddenly get negative connotations.
