RoX.Localhost
All 10 games in Ascension, played in February 2008, have 0 clicks, totaling over 80 minutes of game play. All 15 games played in a LAN on Feb 10 have multiple clicks, even averaging over 10 per game. All 9 games played in the Excello Cup, an online tour (Feb 17) using the alias “cruelpoliceman” have 0 clicks, totaling over 2 hours of game play. With a generous estimate of a game having a 10% chance of no clicks (the real value is probably about 1%, but dependent on game length) in any given game played without hack, the chance of these sets having no clicks is 1/10^14, or 1 in one-hundred trillion.
When confronted with the accusation, Localhost provided an FPVOD of one game in one of the Ascension Bo5 series in question. You can download the VOD here. What he didn't realize at the time was how he was caught, or that Oblivion or hacks like it do not record unit selections other than your own, even if it is in the “off” or “lite” state. He probably anticipated being accused of hacking at one point so occasionally makes an FPVOD of one game in a set as proof with hack in off mode, but not closed. In the VOD, he clearly selects a creep colony as well as many other things (zerglings, etc.) yet none of these actions are recorded in the replay.
Additional games with extraneous proof can be found at replayhome.com, a useful site for investigating all players due to its 75,000+ replays in database.

We at TeamLiquid.net cannot speak for the other sites like WGT or ICCup, but we can speak for TSL. While Localhost was found only to be using a hack in Ascension and Excello Cup #1 but not in WGT CL, ICCup CL or various other tournaments, we cannot make that distinction here. He not only violated our policy of hacking within the past year, but repeatedly lied and attempted to deceive us with an FPVOD. Localhost will be removed from the current TSL.
We respect the wishes of the RoX team and applaud their decisions in the cases of Executor and Killah (more on them later on). We hope that in the future Localhost's name can be cleared and that the measures to ensure his future fair play are effective.
Disciplinary action for events under the jurisdiction of the other sites will be detailed in their respective newsposts. Please note that no other RoX players were found to have "dirty" replays using this method.

Statement from RoX Leadership:
Since a new method of Oblivion maphack detection was found many players were claimed to be "dirty".
As for our new 2x2 pair (Executor and Killah), the probative force of this method is strong. I have seen it my own, and I can’t challenge the efficiency of the method in their case. All WGT CL replays were marked as "dirty." (it's quite clear when you compare them with ICCUP "clean" ones).
But it is polar opposite in Victor's case (localhost). First, he had "dirty" replays only in Ascension tournament and Excello Cup #1. Assuming localhost is a hacker it's very strange for me, that a hacker is loosing hacked games, winning lots of tournaments (e.g. WGT CL, ICCUP CL, LANs and many online ones) without the hack. Thus I don’t think it is fair to claim him. Moreover, pirate version of software is still a problem for Russia, and gamers often download it and just buy CD-Keys. I mean he could have such a StarCraft copy at home, or at the cafe, where he used to play. Yet we do respect Counter Abuse Team work and understand their efforts to make a clean e-Sport.
We have the following decision. We apologize to Executor and Killah for this may be unfair decision, but we have to release them for RoX. As for Victor, to avoid ambiguity he should be in some sort of quarantine zone. From this time forward he is bounded to record FPVod of all official tournaments or leagues, to upload them as a proof at any moment. I would also like to draw admin's attention on a fact that ALL the replays except Ascension and Excello Cup #1 were "clean". None of us want a questionable decision like MistrZZZ’ one to happen again. And TSL once showed how professional they are, apologized to him after wrong decision. Let this professionalism be now. Not only at TSL, but other portals also.
Thanks for understanding.
Very truly yours,
Kirill Rus_Brain Patyrykin,
Here on behalf of RoX team leader.
***Special Update***
More "dirty" replays of Localhost have been found in GG.net's "Masters of the Craft" money tournament. Please recognize that the statements above made by RoX managers were before this new information, and they are re-evaluating the situation in light of this new information. We thank the RoX team for supporting and validating this method.
. But thanks to Adv i'm not fooled anymore.
