What's a smurf exactly? An account specifically for cheating?

A smurf is an account created for two reasons.

1) To either play competitively with lower levels people than what his skill level actually is. (Usually because they wanna play with friends who are lowly ranked)

2) To cheat, wallhack, aimbotting. You name it. They just wanna win and make everyone look like shit.

Yeah, sometimes. It has various connotations but in this context it's usually a brand new account you create with the intention of either a) getting a 'free pass' in case of a ban, or b) start at the bottom of the matchmaking ladder so you could play with some lower-ranked friends, or just stomp around some newer/lower ranked players.

Fair enough, I feel bad queuing with some EU Gaffers because they're high silvers but I'm DMG so we get queued with like Gold Novas and sometimes even an AK or two. It's rough on them because they just don't have the time invested compared to the other guys.

Looks like you're in need of a smurf. :d Smurfs stomping lower ranked players are the biggest scum on earth. I got a smurf myself to play with lower ranked friends and just use it to relax while playing CS and having fun, like going deagle only while buying equip for my teammates. :D Tryharders just need to stay on their main (although trash talkers in enemy teams during the switch will get rekt). -_-

haha yeah i've been waiting for a decent sale so I can grab one. My plan is to just do what you do, not really drop like 50 bombs on silvers.

The way ranks factor into matchmaking right now kind of sucks. I've been playing with a Silver 2 friend on my Badge/Eagle main and it keeps matching us up with 2-3 star novas. Even though we're like 12-1 playing together, the game hasn't ranked him up at all which would probably help us get at least a couple aks on the other team to make it a little more interesting.

So it's hard to boost people, I don't see anything wrong with this.

He's contributing a lot in our matches and we've won almost all of them. You really don't think he should have gotten a couple ranks out of it? Not like Silver 3 or 4 is some huge boosting feat. Obviously skill based matchmaking is failing if I'm dropping 40 bombs every match and we're winning like 16-3 lol.

So this whole smithzZ and epsilon fe thing is pretty funny. Stani ended up leaving the team and now the girls are going at it on Facebook. Now we wait for the hair pulling to begin...

Decided to jump into one comp game before bed and behold we lost on Overpass. We got crushed 14-1 even though we started CT side.

I was soloing. My team was calling wallhack the entire games. Afterward I went back and look at the tape. It was clear as days that they were wallhacking, even aimbotting at one point.
2 out of 5 people on the other team were hackers and the other 3 were trying to derank. WTF.
oh and here is the icing on top. those two hackers were on each other's friends list.
Fucking Valve, ruining this stupid game with your shitty detection system.

So should I get an answer that I'm in the raffle or how do these things work.
Once you entered. You're in. Unless the person who is doing the raffle put you on his blacklist.

Either way there is no confirmation from Modbot saying that you are in or not. You just have to assumed you're in. (If youre not blocked)

Now all you can do is wait and see if you get a PM from Modbot. If you do. That mean you won. Chinzo should also get a PM from modbot saying who win after the raffle is over as well.

Source: being a member of SteamGAF. We use Modbot quite often.

Thanks for the chance cHinzo!

Also sucks you got a bad solo que shadow. I've only had about two of those so far, but most of my games I'm grouped with some good people.

There's a gif link on the post too with visual instructions.

Reading is essential!

Also where is cHinzo and Sabot? We need some betting advices Lol

Thanks for the tips, wasn't sure which part of the message to quote in the PM, sorted it now.
