I mean he had a big advantage to be sure.. Just going by that clip it doesn't look completely over though.
Maybe you have different definitions of "sure".

Funny how that turned around

He probably would have won it had it been played out. sometimes you don't feel like going through the effort for the win. it's so draining to do that.

also GiveUAnxiety based his post-game lecture on the 20-something-score difference, whereas before his opponent deleted his army, it was more than 100

He meant industrial.

I could have went imperial if I just AFK'd for 2 more minutes.

I forgot about trade monopoly, being the lower rated player, and got outplayed.

RE is the one full of smurfs? Feels like every second game I get on EP against someone with 10 games on an account created last month.

It was a bit of an exaggeration but it can be annoying sometimes. For example some guy called Antikor joins my lobby the other day. I think "cool, another lieut to play with." Then he bashes me making only xbows several games in a row. I see the name a few days later ranked colonel. Similar thing happened to me with Hellgate95 just from memory. Not knowing what you're up against is frustrating.

Simply not playing the game very often is how I cope with that.

If you play against a lieut on the EP, it's probably Umeu.

antikor is iamturk i guess.
Tbh there is some existent tools to not be smurfed anymore, for exemple why not try the new esoc packet tracker tool ? One time you start to got a good ip database you guess who is behind the smurf you face almost every game.

1) Smurfing is same as about EP just easier to guess on EP
2) Cheating is almost dead at lt+ level. Plus all players in the lobby were known.
3) Ideally smurfing is when high level player plays on low level for bashing. Considering top 2 players in the lobby were you and daman..!

Cheating isn't dead at lt+. It's so obvious when some random dude is maphacking.

I've come back from quite a few games when I was ready to resign. The most important thing, to me, is to let your mates know you want to resign, as they might have a different perspective or a plan for a comeback. You should never hide stuff in the map or any such thing, just be courteous, as it is a team game after all.
I've noticed that many times Aiz stays in game, even after he thinks it's lost, if his mates are still in.
