I looked it up, but I could not find what calling a person a smurf meant. Can anyone help me here?

Means you allegedly started a new account after you got good with your first one.

Doesn't really mean much in starcraft 2 though :/.

I havent heard that in a few years. It used to be when people made "smurf accounts" where you anonymously play people below your skill level just for the lols.

An experienced player purposely playing with less players (via trial account, purposely losing/failing placements) in order to boost their own ego.

I think I'm going to smurf and rape some n00bs.

It refers to "the smurfs," a cartoon from the 90s featuring short blue midgets wearing floppy hats who live harmoniously communes - basically its a backhanded compliment on the fact that you manage your (command) economy really well and are good at multitasking your units i.e. workers

Sometimes, smurfing backfires...

Try using both Irradiate and Defensive Matrix on an Overlord. It looks pretty neat.

You could've found this out if you put any effort into searching. Also, don't remake threads if your first one gets closed.
