Smurf is a player who creates new accounts to play against players with less experience or lower levels. This is usually done so that the smurf can win matches easily, as they are playing against less experienced opponents. Smurfing is done for various reasons - for fun, for content creation (Twitch, YouTube, etc.).
This phenomenon is quite common in many video games, especially those with a ranking or matchmaking system, such as "League of Legends," "Overwatch," or "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive."
Some gaming communities and developers consider "smurfing" a problem, as it can make the game less enjoyable for new or less experienced players who face opponents who significantly outskill them.
Smurfing usually ruins the game atmosphere for newbies (noobs). Matches with smurfs often turn into skirmishes salty and toxic players.
