Sorry for the late reply as I was busy with some other things. But yes indeed it is DIC_Blade so thanks a ton and I guess it's very much possible to guess a player by his hotkey signature after all.

I do have another player I would like your opinion about.

He's a protoss player playing against Zerg

Can somebody help me?


What program is this bwchart? I can't seem to get a functional bwchart file to work, it crashes everytime. If anyone can link me to a modern one or link me to their current version that would be great.

I will look at this when I get back home, in about 4-5 hours.

Also, nice to get confirmation that it was Blade :p

It's protoss vs. zerg


Can you post replays instead of pictures? Finding the matching player will go with higher accuracy. Or maybe you are just testing, then you could post bwchart pictures with "Hot Key selection" on

Bwchart is the best replay analyzer out there. Unfortunately it's a bit bugged for the hotkeys, it sometimes doesn't show everything, or shows assigns incorrectly, but it's still the best user interface and most detailed.
You may need to download 2.00C and disable to load your replays on startup to avoid crashes. And the replay name must not contain korean characters.

This is a mis-statement.

People compare hotkey signatures between two replays or among a set of replays: one replay that is of unknown origin, and another replay or set of replays that indisputably originate from a particular pro.


This is partially a mis-statement.
In BW's prime years, when all pros were playing on iCCup, some people (like roMAD and me) got the hotkeys of like the top 100 pros memorized, or maybe even more. Couldn't necessarily recite the whole setup, but when we looked at a good quality replay after years of analyzing, we had an insta recognition or feel of who it was, or if it was a pro or not. And then for the less known players, could check replays to make sure.

It's not a zerg I can tell you that. Best I can surmise is older Player. Someone who doesn't use many gateways. My guess is Reach

To me it seems pretty clear. Only one well known player uses it like this. Iam a little surprised, no one mentioned this person, yet. So much for detective work… But i guess maybe because it is so obvious nobody considered it …
