I love and follow SC, but I also love and follow WC3: so I'm very curious as to what this statement means: "While Warcraft III cheaters are punished worse than most felons, Starcraft hackers are recruited by competitive teams"

Can you please give me an example of a single War3 pro who's cheated besides Deadman? Many years ago and the community has since forgiven him... Maybe I'm missing someone obvious, but I still have no idea where this statement came from; it's BS!

That there's been a well known hacker who got caught cheating and was crucified as it implies?

WC3L and other leagues have banned players indefinitely for simply smurfing, muchless map hacking. I have almost no idea of the War3 scene, but I do remember a famous Russian human player being banned from everything (including his team) for smurfing. I believe he quit the game shortly after.

But WarCraft 3 isn't the only game. Known teams have died completely due to players being caught and sponsors dropping out (mostly CS that I remember).

That is true for the smurfing, but they have always been lesser known players, players that no one really cared about. There was a Russian who was caught (and admitted to) hacking, Deadman, like I originally said, who was really shunned for a while but has for many years since been a respected member of the community, only recently (1-2 weeks ago) quitting due to school reasons.

Other than that, there has been no GOOD player discovered being a hacker who was well known... and I've been following the War3 scene since it's conception so I'm simply very confused as to where this statement came from... Not that I really care... I was just confused... And would like some clarification.

if you followed war3 scene since its conception then you know who gentho is and you realize that if he said that it must be true.
