Hi, good article as always, i think people smurf with the matchmaking system because trying to watch from plat replay or find plat players take more time, and if the plat player didn't showup it can "break" the trust in this method. But for me, people smurf a lot because they don't care about the player pool that remain into SC2, i really think that 90%+ of views are from people that don't play the game, so "who care ?" you get content, i get views and the little dude on my path got slain but he's not important in this equation...
I really like the DotA 2 system where if you want to go in ranked you have to put your phone number, can seem intimidating at first (and it's not a perfect system you can take the number of your mom of the smurf account) but i think it work well
Yeah, I do think there's a problem in the disconnect between people who watch content based on smurfing and people who actually play ladder. I also really like the trust score system of CS:GO, which uses phone number verification! I didn't realize DotA 2 has the same system but it makes sense given that it's Valve. I would love to see such a system brought to RTS.
