So I played a random bnet game today, haven't done that in forever. It was on the hunters, and I spawned next to the guy. It started pretty normally... some inital zealot/ling battles. Then the guy started building creep colonies from his main all the way to my expo. Okay... no big deal. I eventually cracked it with zealot, archon, ht, and a reaver for good measure. I killed his main and figured it was game over.

Wrong. Apparently he had an expo top left with like 10 ultras (this was probably the first suspicious action, as we were on relatively even economies and he had wasted so many drones on sunkens). Okay... I start trying to kill that, making sure to check every expo so that he didn't expand anywhere else. I end up trying to break it with two 150 supply armies and fail. I'm starting to get very, very suspicious. He hasn't used any lurkers, and he's made like 50 sunkens at this point, and still had cash for lings, hydra, and the occasional guardians (what).

At some point he expands to his old main, and builds like 20 sunkens there, and this is after I reaver dropped his new main. He's had like 4 drones the entirety of this, and yet a steady stream of lings, hydras, and guardians keep attacking and killing my new expos (I have the middle and another expo secure though).

Long story short, I kill the top left eventually using carriers, but he somehow manages to kill me using his four drone economy. Uh huh.

Replay shows he used his first drone to mineral hack and expanded top left pretty much as soon as he could. I'm shocked! He ended up making 126 creep colonies and like a thousand units compared to my 152 buildings (most of these died to his never ending army) and 561 units. Fun. -_-

Give this guy a break, money hackers are lower than shit, especially if they, like in this case, actually know how to use the money. It shows a total disrespect for just about everything of the other player, because it's like saying "yes, I know you're about 3 times better than me, but I just want to win no matter what."

I played against a money hacker who won against me too, and I felt really bad about losing.

Wow. I'm suprised you lasted that long, pat yourself on the back for that at least. Either way, there is no satisfaction winning by cheating, and try to play people you kno rather than random B.net pubbies to avoid this.

I don't really care so much that he mineral hacked (although I hate that, don't get me wrong), but he chose the most annoying way possible to do so. STOP BUILDING SUNKENS fdasfasd. Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Also, I pretty much rolled him by 15 minutes and didn't suspect he was mineral hacking so I let off a bit. Lulz. ;/

hah. Fun game to watch, that guy was seriously the worst hacker ever. He didnt even show signs of knowing basic gameplay lol. " im just going to mass 0-0 ultras and win!" - FAIL.

heh, but I dont think that guy was ra, hotkeys dont match. Fun game though.

You almost beat this guy, I would say he definitely does NOT know how to spend his money. This guy is horrible. Of course, maybe he would have just canceled more if you weren't owning him.
