EPTBeastyqt has hours upon hours of recorded FPVODs of himself playing on his twitch.tv page but today I’ll be focusing on the VOD of just one day. Still, I’m sure you’ll find that I’ve gathered sufficient evidence to execute Beasty. I’ll link the whole 4~ hour video and reference specific timestamps (many of which are wonky and may not bring you to the exact point of discussion) of when Beasty shows his magic, with screenshots to help you along.

I’ll start with a very simple example. If we tune to 2:37:45, we find ourselves watching Beasty playing a TvT on Daybreak against Goody.
http://www.twitch.tv/beastyqt/b/336624487?t=2h37m45s
Beasty sends out a pretty early SCV scout, which is significant because sometimes he doesn’t worker scout in TvT. We can see the evidence begin to pile up already. At first the SCV is queued to check his natural and then head East towards the other spawn location. But at the last moment, it’s rerouted to check the third base as well.

Is this an innocent last second change of mind or cheating bullshit ? I leave the judgment 100% in your hands.
Of course, it turns out Goody had a proxy Barracks building up there. Coincidence that Beasty just so happened to wander up there after all? I think not.

You can practically see Beasty channeling the Spirits of Siege Tanks Passed
Goody leaves the game immediately, realizing that he can’t compete with practitioners of the dark arts. We can see Beasty laughing at Goody’s anguish, proving that he’s not only a dark sorcerer but also a sadist.

That game may have been Beasty’s most obvious and straightforward use of illegal magic powers of the day, but it’s far from the most damning. In the next game, we’ll see that Beasty sometimes uses his powers shamelessly to gain massive advantages. We also see that he has no qualms using it against his teammate and presumed friend, Kas. Let’s hop to 2:00:40 of the VOD and find another TvT on Daybreak.
http://www.twitch.tv/beastyqt/b/336624487?t=2h00m40s
Beasty has opened with a One Barracks Expand and knows only that Kas opened with a gas of some kind. Still, he keeps his space marines in his main base and says “I think he’s going to go Banshee because Kas is not really a guy that goes hellions” to cover it up. A likely story.

Wait shit. Note to self: Don’t show this part.
Okay so apparently Beasty is smart enough to make “mistakes” sometimes. Wizards are usually pretty clever so it makes sense. Still, about 3 minutes later in the video, he more than makes up for his supposed mis-read as he stumbles into two full medivacs with his marine force.

He even has the vile audacity to pretend to exhibit the mortal emotion of surprise
Why was he down there? Beasty himself and his wacky supporters might try to claim he was trying to avoid detection of his army and sneak up on Kas. But this is, of course, ridiculous because.
He kills one medivac and the other barely survives (then gets one shotted by a turret). Beasty gets to Kas’ base with his marines and wins immediately. I think the fact that he would use his magic powers against his own teammate, in an irrelevant ladder game no less, speaks volumes to Beasty’s character.
The last game I’ll show you today, perhaps the most convincing, is yet another TvT and once again on Daybreak. I’m curious if Beasty’s magic is somehow stronger with this particular map and/or matchup but my research into the field isn’t yet conclusive. Let’s hop over to the game, starting at roughly 2:19:00
http://www.twitch.tv/beastyqt/b/336624487?t=2h19m00s
Quickly we get into a wacky game with both players opening with proxy Marauder. They both realize pretty fast and both eventually float their base away. At 2:22:55 in the video, Beasty says “I think he has like 5 marauders now, because he was mining longer.” Once again, he says something to make it sound like he “predicted” something he already knew via magic powers. Less than a minute later, he continues the trend by sending out a Marauder to ‘scout’, it turns out his opponent had exactly 5 marauders!

And how did he know the Marauders would be at that ramp?!
http://www.twitch.tv/beastyqt/b/336624487?t=2h24m50s
Now we see Beasty pull some units out his bunker to go after a Reaper that hopped in base, but he seemed to have pulled the units out of the bunker before seeing the reaper! Further, he pulled SCVs to go repair his bunker long before marauders actually started attacking it (!). But don’t worry, he has an excuse again.
I had a feeling he was going to do this.
A feeling? Really? I for one call shenanigans. In a similar vein, we see at around 2:26:10 that he pretends to use math and logic to figure out if his opponent can have stim. He claims to have looked at the tech lab not researching and looked at how much gas has been mined to deduce that stim can’t have finished. This would take a very advanced level of 2-3 digit addition and subtraction to do, and is very clearly impossible.
Beasty ultimately closes out the game with cloak banshees, somehow knowing that his opponents SCVs would be unable to fight back.
Those are my three games to show that Beastyqt uses magic powers to gain an unfair advantage. Again, keep in mind I pulled these very conclusive chunks of evidence from only 4 hours worth of gameplay. If I wanted to, I’m sure I could find even more! But I must leave you with one final, overwhelmingly potent piece of evidence - not from an actual game but from an infallibly logical thought process:
I watched all this live today and was actively in his stream chat. It seemed like an unusually high amount of the discussion came from Beasty’s stream moderators. The symbol for a Twitch.tv moderator is a lightning bolt. What else is a lightning bolt a symbol of? Yup, Harry Freaking Potter.
Does Beasty abuse magic powers to win in Sc2? It is up to you to weigh the objective and unbiased evidence I have laid before you today and reach your own conclusion. Thanks for hearing me out.

Beasty may be a dark sorcerer, but he’s still a pretty friendly dude who sometimes offers strategic advice. Follow him on Twitter at https://twitter.com/EmpireBeasty
