So after recent drama of some guy apparently stream cheating vs Dragon as well as quite a few people asking me "does your stream have delay? how do you know he's not cheating?" I wanted to give my opinion as a streamer on stream cheating.
Every streamer KNOWS that there is a risk in running a stream with no delay. You are accepting the possibility that your opponent will cheat, and you will not know nor be able to do anything about it. In a perfect world we would rely on trust completely, so you either have to stream delayed or take that risk if you want to stream. Personally, I enjoy streaming and trust the high level community not to do such things, but I accept that it can happen. I'm willing to take that risk.
I think many stream watchers completely blow stream cheating out of proportion. I'm sure it happens more often than we know about, and often people are accused falsely simply because there's no way to prove it. Sometimes I do jump into my next opponent's stream before we play, and occasionally I'll forget to close the internet tab when I tab back into game (stream is muted ofc). Might you see my name in the viewer list? Sure, maybe, and you can bitch at me all you watch for stupidity if people accuse me of doing anything. Overall, I don't think stream cheating should be taken so harshly - every streamer is offering their opponent the opportunity to cheat if he really wants to by live streaming his games. If you don't like it, then delay your stream or don't stream games you actually care about. You will never have 100% evidence, so calling out people just because they MAY have stream cheated is honestly just a waste of time and I think it's disgusting that people are calling for bans just because someone could have possibly stream cheated. What if he didn't? Even if he did, it is in part the streamer's fault as well for offering that opportunity. Every game I stream I trust that my opponent won't do it, but I know that it is possible, yet I stream anyway. Whatever! It's all blown so far out of proportion.

Yeah, I agree with you. Of course nobody wants stream cheating to happen, but it is his own risk if someone wants to stream his or her games. I don't want TL to become like reddit where every small incident becomes a witch hunt (see this TL open).
|
Ya no bans for sure; no way to prove it anyhow.
|
All the idiots who were trying to start a witch hunt...
are less mature than a 15 year old.

Honestly it's too easy to delay your stream when playing scheduled matches (like a qualifier or TLOpen) to prevent stream cheating and if it's your cup of tea then have completely live streams when you're just laddering and an opponent doesn't know he'll be playing you until the game is loading up.
Stream cheaters suck but there are viable options to protect yourself -_-
(Agree with Pokebunny on all points)

I know there's a way to do it with justin.tv but I never looked into it because I don't care. JTV has sent us emails about the feature though.

Amen, my brother. Well said Poke.

I like your writing style.
You make an excellent point here, maturely and eloquently. If you're willing to take the risk, then you should expect to be taken advantage of.

If you're as popular as Dragon is, streaming these tournaments is very +EV, your chance to win or place in the money only goes down a little (since not everyone stream cheats and stream cheating is no guarantee of a win), and you make a lot of money from ads.
|
While I agree that a witchhunt never helped anyone, stream cheaters when caught need to be banned. Especially since streaming has become so popular, we need to set a strong precedent so future cases are resolved in a similar manner. Stream cheating is still cheating.
|
This takes me back to when the Cruncher and Idra drama was occurring. The only difference this time around, is that there seems to be "stronger" evidence against Stealthypoo. Now while I can't state whether or not he is innocent or guilty, the large issue I have pertaining to this topic is the heavy blame put onto the streamer. The idea of "it was the streamer's fault for streaming during a tournament etc. etc." is rather ridiculous in my opinion in terms of how much of the fault is being put on Dragon. How would you feel if I went forth to say "Hey, if you don't want to get raped, dress a little less slutty" or something along those lines. Rather ridiculous right? But, with that I do hope Dragon treats this as a learning experience but also I do hope officials go forth to look into it, because if I recall correctly it's completely against the rules to have a stream open/receive outside messages from others pertaining to the match.
EDIT:I failed at english

Not at all, the OP is nothing more then one big rationalisation of cheating - being 'reasonable' by dismissing the essential ethical aspects of the Dragon situation is not 'mature' in anyway.

Absolute nonsense. Anyone who streams and then gets stream cheated can't complain? What kind of moraless world do you and the OP live in?

Just because it could have been prevented it's somehow not as wrong? Dude...

Why do I get the feeling Pokebunny is trying to justify his bad (past?) habit of stream cheating.
Stream cheating shouldn't be taken lightly, especially if ESPORTS wants to gain some sense of acceptability within soicety.
"I think many stream watchers completely blow stream cheating out of proportion"
This was a competitive match.

Let's say you knew there was a very good chance that someone would shoot you today.
Let's say you had a button that made it impossible for someone to shoot you today.
You didn't press the button. You got shot.
Now, the person who shot you is bad. But why didn't you press the button?

Not only "on the internet", at any point in life there is no correlation between age and maturity.

I believe wholeheartedly in the idea that streaming with no delay, especially during a competition, is dumb. That said, I cringe at any attempts to defend this guy's cheating; I am an idiot for leaving my door unlocked, but that doesn't absolve a burglar from the consequences of robbing my house.

It doesn't have to be every day. Not even all the time in 1 day. But while you are in a tournament, why wouldn't you add a delay? Hell, if I was in a relatively large tournament I had a chance to win, I wouldn't stream at all.
It would be $35 instead of $50 for that one day, but you'd have a better chance of winning the tournament.

Why would you stream a competitive match in the first place?

obviously except for dragon being a bit silly, most people only stream ladder games, since most leagues these days like to put some time into production they dont like the players streaming the league games anyway,
so its not a big deal, unless people were planning on running some kind of event based on ladder rankings
oh wait 
|
Is streaming a tournament game stupid? Yes.
Should Dragon learn from this experience? Yes.
Does this absolve the stream cheater from all blame? Hell no. It is his fault, 100%. There's absolutely no question about this, and his position is absolutely indefensible if he did, in fact, stream cheat (and there is apparently evidence that he did).
Also, I wasn't aware that calling people who disagree with you on this subject "retarded" is the classy thing to do nowadays.
|
That doesn't make any sense, you could say the same as "oh when you ladder you knowingly take the risk that someone map-hacks, therefore you shouldn't complain if it happens".
If there is obvious proof that someone stream cheats they should be outed as a cheater obviously. Making something easy doesn't make it right. I could never lock my house doors, if I get robbed its still a crime... a girl can dress slutty and hang around dark alleys, doesn't make raping her O.K.
|
I mostly agree. Dragon's opponent did a 4 gate + stargate off of 1 gas. It was a complete all in. Dragon scouted the 1 gas and built bunkers, probably expecting a 4 gate. The void ray and high ground warp in caught him off guard and he lost. Was there stream cheating? Maybe. But really, his opponent did nothing that looked like cheating. It's not like he scouted a proxy suspiciously quickly or intercepted drops mid flight. Yet, as soon as Dragon lost to a surprise all in, everyone called stream cheating.
No doubt stream cheating exists. But just because your favorite player lost doesn't mean there was cheating involved.

If the match is important to you, don't stream it in a way that is easy to cheat off of (no delay, completely live.) While it isn't right to do, every streamer takes the risk and they KNOW that it is possible.
As I said, I'm not trying to excuse anyone who is proven 100% to stream cheat. But throwing blame at something that is impossible to proof is kind of silly, so it's best to just avoid the situation by streaming with delay when you are worried about these things.
I'm just gonna ignore the first line of your post, because that's pretty ridiculous. I stream plenty of tournament games live just for fun because I am taking that risk to enjoy my games with fans.

I don't understand why people dont just use a 5 minute delay...if your going to stream in a tournament set up a delay, if you dont care and want to interact with fans real time dont do a delay, how hard is that O_o;

I don't think you are understanding the argument at hand here. Not to mention your analogies quite off.
I haven't seen a post that said "Stream cheating isn't bad at all, it's 100% legit!". If you misconstrued something someone said to that, oh well. But the argument here is that by streaming without delay, you should expect to be stream-cheated from time to time. That isn't saying that stream-cheating is OK, but rather that it is your own fault. If you are worried about stream-cheaters, then use a delay if your ladder points are that important to you.
Streaming a tournament without a delay(I would go so far as to say that streaming a tournament from your perspective period) is simply ASKING for it. Money is on the line, and people will do what they can to better their chances of acquiring that money. If that means stream-cheating, then so be it. It will happen.

as far as i can tell, you cant do delay with xsplit.
then again, i can't tell very far.

talking about fault is stupid/pointless. its all about what is acceptable or not in a community, and what standards members of the community want. i'd ideally want TL to be a place of great respect and consideration. therefore i think its perfectly acceptable for people who stream-cheat to be called out about it to a certain extent.

I agree completely. if you are just laddering then who cares. but in a tournament where a lot of people are going to be watching... just take the time to put a delay on ur stream. it's not going to hurt and it might save you some trouble.
It's unfortunate but so is locking your door at night. lol

But the placement of fault is the topic at hand here. Poke made this blog to show that this is a calculated risk that streamers take; not what is ideal regarding stream-cheaters. Ideally, no-one would stream-cheat. I doubt anyone believes that stream-cheaters have acceptable behavior despite the fact that it is an advantage streamers willingly give up. Throwing a fit because someone took this advantage the streamer gave out is a waste of time, because it will accomplish nothing. The people who are streaming know they can be taken advantage of, and they have plenty of ways to counteract them(black screens/stream delay/etc).

If i am to stream cheat I would log off before doing so.
I thank all the high profile streamers for streaming their games, and those who participated the tournament honestly.
|
Let's not forget there are plenty of people with undetected and undetectable map hacks who are cheating you whether you stream or not. Nothing you can do about it, so no point in worrying about it.

Well no, you can't control if someone maphacks against you. But you can definitely control if someone stream cheats against you ( by not streaming or setting a delay)
Stream cheating is dirty of course. But streaming important matches and then being paranoid about it and starting a witch hunt is not the smartest thing either.
Anyway, does it make a big difference whether the guy was logged in chat or not or whether he had dragon's stream open?
If someone really wanted to cheat, he could have had his friend on skype with him or on the phone. Or even have dual monitor set up. The only solution if you want to make sure people don't stream cheat is don't stream or stream with delay. Period.

If you have to prevent stream cheating by not streaming, then one could argue that you could avoid ladder maphackers by not laddering. Unless you don't ladder, you can't complain about ladder maphackers?
In response to the OP, I don't understand the logic here. Because a streamer decides to stream regardless of the potential cheating, now the cheating is partially his fault? I disagree. It's 100 percent the stream cheater's fault. Trusting the community and taking a risk don't make stream cheating your fault. That's like saying partial blame of a bank robbery is on me for putting my cash in the bank despite knowing the risk of it getting robbed and making it possible for someone to rob it.
Now, I certainly agree that streamers should take some precautions to avoid cheating. Don't stream competitive matches. Delay your stream.

Haha I realize it was a stretch but I just wanted to point out that you could say the same thing about laddering too. There are always things you can do to avoid potential outcomes such as cheating/maphacking (as extreme as it is in this scenario), but that doesn't mean the actual wrongdoing is your fault for not avoiding them.

Korea (South)17174 Posts
its a bad example though because in laddering theres nothing u can do to avoid hacking its up to the game maker or tourney maker to take measures to prevent it.....in this case u can just...not stream
u could leave ur money lying around in a hotel room and trust house keeping not to steal it cuz they r not supposed to...or you could put it in the safe? lol

I mean I agree with your points, I never disagreed with them. I was not talking about how you can avoid such situations but rather in which cases the blame lies on you. Just like it's not your fault for laddering and getting maphacked, it's not your fault for streaming and creating a possibility for someone to stream cheat. This is what the OP tried to argue - that somehow stream cheating should be (partially) blamed on you. The wrongdoing is entirely the cheater's in my eyes. In both cases, the person getting cheated on or hacked on fully has the right to complain.

Korea (South)17174 Posts
i agree the person streaming themselves has the right to complain but only if they first admit they are idiots
|
I am confused about how streaming ladder games can help someone unless they have a friend messaging them or the stream is being casted? How would having the stream up help a player unless they are playing on window mode and the game is only covering part of the screen (The stream would have to be on another part of their screen for them to see it). The exception, of course, would be if the stream cheater had dual monitors? But this is probably rare. Also, most people probably don't know the streamers...and most people probably wouldn't cheat anyways.

what if the person was seen holding a gun at the scene, but you cant prove they actually shot. what if the person did the same with two other victims. What if after the fact you can see very suspicious behavior on tape ( apm drops in replay).
He might have streamcheated or he might not have streamcheated. The evidence that he did though is pretty strong. He even uses that jtv id to stream himself so no trolling there. Even if he DIDN'T streamcheat. the BEST EVIDENCE we could ever hope for against a streamcheater is laid out in front of us and we still don't ban, when can we ever ban then? just dq him for the idiocy of leaving the stream open in the background, but dismissing the people that request he be banned or dq'd is dishonest and lays the blame with the person who actually tries to do something for the community and his fans.
There is a reason dragon became immensely popular in a short amount of time, its because he interacts with his fans so much. punishing players like that should be the least of our priorities, on the contrary, these players with personality are bringing more people into the scene.

I think I should clarify.
If the person you are playing is streaming on their own channel then it should be a non-issue. You are practically inviting players to do it.
If its a tournament where you have other people casting it. Then, yes I agree. It's a form of cheating.
There are two different scenarios in play here.
I do think people jump the gun quite a lot on such things.

Most of OP sounds like nonsense, especially since there is as much proof as there can be for a situation like this. Disgusting that people are calling for a ban from the tournament when he broke the rules? If anything its disgusting that people are ok with rules being broken, especially one like that.
Just because someone whos "known" in the community makes a long post approving of rule breaking suddenly people change their minds about whats ok and not ok. Such lemmings who can't think for themselves.
Agreed.

This logic is so terrible I don't even...you basically said you can ladder and avoid hacking by not laddering. If A then B is not proven wrong with a statement of if not A then not B. You're only stating how to avoid hacking, not how to avoid hacking while laddering. Guess what, you can also avoid using gas when you drive by not driving and you can avoid learning logic when you go to school by not going to school. To add to Rekrul's example and apply your logic: you can avoid having money stolen by not having any money.
If you want to avoid hacking, then sure, don't play online games. ever. You can avoid annoying people by not interacting with humans ever again. But you're still going to aren't you? People are going to play in tournaments and ladder. They can't personally prevent people from hacking in game. That will happen. But they can personally prevent stream cheating by not streaming.

If it's during a tournament, use delay. If it's during ladder, it doesn't matter much, it makes you play better than you normally would. If you're really annoyed in ladder, put a delay there too...
I don't see where the big deal is.

Another known stream cheat abuser is DavidLynch.
Ask for replay if needed.
