A bit of a weird conversation. Of course it does matter why you got disqualified. You have to know the reason, otherwise it's not valid. Try to do it right the next time I'd say!

You weren't disqualified. You refused to schedule and/or play your games and thus you were given the admin loss in your games. I guess you can call it a voluntary disqualification?

I get no satisfaction from beating somebody was under my pr idk why its so fun for them. you say you want to grow the game yet do stupid stuff to destroy it. play your own pr is all I have to say, ive been in and out of the game for a long time and honestly the only reason i havent commited and gotten discouraged from this game is from those of you who make yourself feel better from bashing way lower prs. just something to think about

Man sometimes people indeed take smurfs just to relax and play at lower rank, for example if I want ot team with a lower mate, what other solution do I have ? People won't play vs for example a 1 lt and a colonel teamed up together. And it's the same if you just want to have fun without playing seriously, you need a smurf. But I think the biggest use of smurfs is to find a game, because there aren't many games at high level, and when you can't find one you have to take a lower account. Don't be paranoid, thinking people are taking smurfs just to bash lower ranks and get a sadistic pleasure out of it...

I'm barely active these days, don't have the time, but back when I was I always used smurf accounts. It's not always about playing people lower then you, relaxing or noob bashing. My experience (team games only in this case) is that people can become extremely aggressive about winning/losing. If you're on the winning end everything is fine and people part ways amicably, but if you lose a game (NO WAY!) then suddenly everyone is blaming each other, no one ever believes they had anything to do with the loss etc. Basically you meet enough s***heads online and eventually you will want a break from them. Thus the reason why I have a few smurf accounts. I don't use them as often, but people don't know me, they have no reason to have any issues etc. In this casing smurfing brings the game back to a more relaxed atmosphere. In my case it isn't about playing lower ranked plays, I play the same people around my level but its anonymous with no expectations good or bad.

Early last year I was in a 3v3 and my team won the first game. In the rematch we lost a nail biting forty-two minute match why victory was snatched away from us despite us being ahead most of the game. My team mates decided to attack each other (I've honestly never seen THIS kind of language online) and I decided to try and calm them down. Instead both burned their anger on me. It was the second worse experience I've had in TAD. They continued harassing me outside of the game until I was forced to block them both. I logged out, got on a smurf account and joined the first 3v3 I saw. They joined a minute later. We did random teams and guess who got? Yup, them. Another solid game, we almost lost, but I had some solid play (as did they) and we won. Afterwards they each told me how impressed they were and how happy they were to get a good team mate because last game they had the worst experience with a horrible noob (me!). They had no idea who I was and even asked if I'd like to get some more games with them. I politely declined.

See? Not all smurfing is about cheating people or trying to get a higher PR. Sometimes its nice to be completely unknown and play some games without worrying about history with other players. I'm sure other people have similar stories.

Ya I think the main reason for smufing is to get a break from some dipshit assholes.

All players didnt use their main account, so unless you punish everyone who didnt use their main account....
Examples are Jerom (he is even a mod),
diarouga who played on django account
and few others..

Jerom talked to the mods about him playing on a different account and was given the Ok. Osmane played on django and was disqualified. Last tournament Erik played on a smurf account and was also disqualified. Smurfing has always resulted in disqualification unless it was discussed prior to the tournament.

yeah I specifically invested time in telling H2O about the situation and why I wanted to play on an account that wasn't (yet) my main account.
