I totally agree with you - about how its harsh to punish the rest of the team because of 1 persons bad doing..
however - Maynarde asked all captains to check their roster for smurfs and said if any were caught there would be punishments for both the player, and the team... The punishment for the team is a 0-4 loss.
While this result is really disheartening for the TCP team and players - please continue your practice and deliver good games for the rest of the league! - you can still make it to the Playoffs!!
Also, FYRE was a smurfer.. Portrait farming is the act of tanking losses to keep you in a lower league so you can get quick and easy wins in order to portrait farm..(time effectiveness - quick losses to stay in low leagues for easy wins.. so every proper game is a win - with 3 second losses) That keeps you in a lower league and thus his skill is well above BSG level...
If I were you I'd be concerned more about other players that were caught for smurfing (but not by their captains so - Syn taking Antanis was the right thing to do) - and no penalty applied - even though the player had played games for their team as a smurfer...
Just sayin.
EDIT- just to clarify, I pointed out Antanis(sp?) as a incident that is NOT smurfing and WAS handled in the correct manner.. By the team captain... unlike other events
