In online gaming, a smurf is an experienced player who uses a new account to deceive other players into thinking he’s a noob (newbie). The purpose is usually to play against less skilled opponents who will under-estimate the ‘smurf’. The expected result is that the smurf will pwn (dominate) his opponents and humiliate them further as they have been now beaten by an apparent noob.
lol yup that’s a strategy of mine. My inebriated alters are almost always my regular name or username just with the letter J as the first letter.
Once in high cool I was assigned a group with my buddies John, Justin, and James. We came up with the idea to be the J team so from then on in that class I signed all my papers as my J name and went by it as well.

Orrrr your Smurf account is for when you’re drunk and you don’t want to try
I wouldn’t call it smurfing if you had a separate account for being drunk as it would just put you in a skill level suitable for how you play drunk.
If you’re making fresh accounts so you can stay at a lower level then that would be smurfing.
As a fun aside, nearly every game with matchmaking if they define Smurf, it is ANY account other then your main account.
For the one part you are only allowed one account period for match making purposes. All others are smurfs. No expections.
Since Match making systems are unable to hand when the same person plays on multiable accounts. They just break, and it ruins games for everyone.

Also commonly used by a good player to play with trash-tier friends.
