This term originated in the early 1990s from two players in the game "Warcraft II" who created new accounts under the names "PapaSmurf" and "Smurfette" to hide their high skill level. Today, it is used to describe an alternate account used by an experienced player to pose as a beginner, often to crush less skilled opponents or play without pressure. Other players typically complain about smurf accounts because they ruin fair matchmaking and make the game frustrating for genuine newcomers.
