If it indeed is Strelok he was at an advantage knowing FA's style while FA possibly thought it was another player or an unknown player.

In the poker scene the guy would've been e-beheaded already. =O

It wasn't a huge deal since he *mostly* played the same as last time I played Gretorp anyway :p

if you have a borrowed account you can just tell your opponent who you are before the match. no big deal. sure it's not the most important rule but it's right up there in the first section of the tournament rules...

Jesus this is disappointing. How can Gretorp lose to a bad wall two games in a row?

Here is the thing. I didn't register to the tournament because i thought i have no time. But last minute a person i had to meet - cancelled deal. So my friend who registered in the tournament, gave me this account. Boys is my account. But i do not play on it. 2 players - Gretorp and the friend from my city are using it. That's the thing. In general - i wanted to win the tournament and tell everyone my friend did it. However, Zpux just demolished me.

Smurfing isn't that nice for viewers and it's very unprofessional in a tournament with money involved! How would it be if everyone will start smurfing ...
Zotac admins should disqualify players who hide their identity.

Why not just inform your opponents? I don't think anyone has an issue with you joining the tournament on it as long as everyone including the tournament hosts and opponents are aware.

Btw, why is so important to know everyone @ tournament or better to say, why is so important to other players that everyone who might play against them says their true identity?

Asking this because I never played any game on competitive level so I am a bit confused.

Maybe some people want to play, from time to time, hidden behind other name so they don't get bothered and have peaceful games without people poking them.

Let's say person A and person B have played eachother hundreds of times on the ladder. Now they are meeting in a tournament, but person B is playing on person Cs account.

Person A expects to be playing against person C and makes his decisions accordingly, not realizing it's not person B, while person B knows he's playing person A.

It's just not a good thing.

So basically it's just unfair. Sure, fair enough. Smurfing is bad, indeed. :D

I'll have to refer to you this good thread with advice from a protoss master

[edit] I'm just joking. I know what you mean that was just an attempt at humour.

Smurfing is fine as long as it isn't done in tournaments, or perhaps specifically: tournaments with no-smurfing rules.

I want to re-iterate that I don't personally feel it was a big deal in this instance.

The main issue imo: how do we want e-sports to grow and be professional if players are smurfing? lol
Also is sucks for viewers when they're watching a stream and see "Boys.lovegirls" playing a semifinal. What's the point in watching a game if you don't know who's playing.

But Strelok didn't do anything bad, as Boys is really his account (like Gretorp said on his stream) he sometimes borrows to friend/Gretorp, right? Only bad thing was his idea if he wins to attach credits to his friend not himself.

So basically it wasn't smurfing.

It's a 3 player shared account. Why did 99% of people who watched the stream thought it's Gretorp?
Why is he playing under mouzStrelok in zotac 7, and under boys in zotac 8? that's smurfing, stop excusing him.
