Could someone please tell whether this account is a smurf or not based on his skill graph?
After ~1 month of steady top-kill gamplay on a server, he's still tier two.
Could this be some glitch in the hiveskill system?

His k/d as marine is easily equal to that of a high skill player (ending games with kdr's like 43/4) with non-onos accuracy much much higher than 13% (more like 25%-30%)
For what it's worth hive seems particularly screwed up lately (games not being recorded, players showing as -1 with no hiveskill badge)
While hive is broken right now, that isn't what is going on right now. You clearly didn't look at the linked observatory profile to see if it was the person you are thinking of. If you did, you would see this guy has a low kdr. I don't think you even read any of the comments. Why did you even comment?
Obviously the point of my comment was that the stats in an observatory profile are not always accurate.
The smurf I've seen has an observatory profile that looks extremely similar to that one, yet his real in game stats are considerably better.
Hence the necessity of commenting.
What I see when playing with her/him is that on marine side, that player is always in the the top 3 players with very good situational awareness and aiming with both shottie and pistol.
He's performance equals that of tier 4 players, and he hasn't budged from tier 2 for a month.
Also, there's a steep drop in the skill graph, which is the point im really interested in.
In theory, is it possible to deliberately degrade your hiveskill that much using some trick (eg. idle in a rookie match and lose)?
On the other hand, if the hiveskill system had gone bollocks, that could explain the drop and stagnation of his level aswell.
EDIT:
Regarding his KD and accuracy, if you want to foul your own stats, that's not that hard to do so.
e: for reference I guess this is my obs profile: https://observatory.morrolan.ch/player/97984
Streamed last night for a few hours and went 12/5 in w/l, still lost hive skill
As for gaining some hive score its mostly gained from just winning but winning against higher hive skill teams. If you lose in rounds against a team with much lower hive skill you lose a lot more than losing against a team with higher hs.
