Smurf it is a player who creates new accounts to play against players with less experience or a lower level. This is usually done so that the Smurf can win matches easily, as they play against less experienced opponents. Smurfing is done for various reasons - for entertainment, for creating content (twitch, youtube, etc.).
This phenomenon is quite common in many video games, especially those with a rating or matchmaking system such as "League of Legends", "Overwatch", or "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive".
Some gaming communities and developers consider "smurfing" a problem because it can make the game less enjoyable for new or less experienced players who face opponents who far outperform them in skills.
Smurfing usually spoils the atmosphere of the game for newbies (nubs). Smurf matches usually turn into salti and toxic players.
