Cheating = Using 3rd party tools to gain unfair advantage
Smurfing = Playing with lower ranked players

because there is no possible way to detect smurfing. (without human interaction in that system)

If someone want to improve, he would play deathmatch, aim maps, spray map etc.

But getting peaked headshot instantanly will never help someone to improve

smurfs are killing community and cs go players doesn't realize that

It's impossible to solve the smurfing problem. They'll always be part of the game. No point in wasting your time complaining about it, to remove them would be to remove the game itself.

Despite much excuse and attempted justification, SMURFING* breaks or requires the breacking of a number of rules.

Many Smurfs attempt to jsutify this behaviour by selfish incoherent excuses (often based on utterly inaccurate misrepresentations) or simply avoid the criticism entirely (see response #13)

The issue with regrds to 'SMURFING'* is, as mentioned above, more with regards to enforcement. Since it is difficult to specifically and unambiguously prove beyond reasonable doubt, punitive action would therefore result in negative sum harm to those innocents 'falsely accused'.
Valöve have taken steps through the introduction of Prime and some way to removal of "DeRanking" groups to mitgate the impact somewhat.

*Defined for the purpose of this post as:
Purposefully using alternate account with a significantly lower skill grouping despite being fully capable of playing versus more challenging opponents.

I think just saying that without all of the fancy words would've gotten the point through. But, as he said, it's pretty much impossible to prove whether they're a smurf or not, as someone with a particularly good skillset might be trying to move through the ranks. Another problem is that smurfs will always be part of the system, no matter what you do. You can't stop people from buying a second account, because that would lower profits, and on top of that, you would have no idea if two accounts are bought by the same person. Deranking is quite hard for smurfs, obviously, because they'd be reported for throwing. But, again as Makara said, Valve has set up matchmaking systems that limit a smurf's ability to play with lower-ranked people, as you now need a phone number.

smurfs do help you get better, when you're getting corner peaked it teaches you how not to play corners.. unless you're dumb and keep trying the same strats repeatedly instead of trying new tactics.
