smurfed
Replaced with placeholder
Smurfed describes being targeted by a smurf—a skilled player using a low-ranked alternate account to dominate less experienced opponents in competitive video games.
If you got smurfed, someone far above your skill level crushed you while pretending to be a beginner: I didn't lose fair—I got smurfed by a Diamond player in Bronze lobbies.
