Im myself 2100p diamond, and my opponent: http://sc2ranks.com/eu/899230/ANOTHER, few things to note: 1. He has a new account. 2. He is playing against highlevel diamonds. Obvious things to note : Builds 10 rax, 11rax and 11 bunker to counter my proxygates which he didnt even scout. When he killed all my zealots inside his base, he runs straight to my proxygates. When i pull all my probes from base he pulls his marines to his base and starts building another bunker, why would he decide to do that when he was fine killing my zealots?
Finally got a chance to watch this one. I agree his decision making seems to be...precognitive? But again, it's also possible that he always goes 10 rax 11 rax with a bunker because he's so sick of being cheesed by those sneaky toss's. I think there's a good chance he's maphacking, but, innocent until proven guilty.

Yeah, this is an obvious hacker. Video is kinda longish, but it's a good example of what to look for. Arb, the hacker is Vnrock.347.

Follows my troop movements and where I'm expanding through the fog, and reacts appropriately. Some key things: At 6:53 he looks at lings going up the right side to kill the rocks, and at around 7:15 he sends guys to kill the lings at the rocks, but at 7:21 he looks at my roaches coming up the middle through the fog, and tells his guys to come back. At 11:26, he moves his army to the middle of the map, probably to expand, but looks at my mutas through the fog, and moves his guys back to his natural to defend, even warping in stalkers at the natural without ever seeing the mutas. At 11:37, he looks through the fog at where I just started my 3rd, and sends guys to kill it. At 14:30, I try to take the 3rd again, and he looks at it through the fog and again sends guys to kill it.
Maybe he just has an insane sense of timing, but without ever scouting my base other than the first probe, seeing nothing but a hatchery the entire game, I doubt it. It wasn't the best game on my part, but I still feel that there is good evidence for maphacking.
Description : preface -- Thankfully I have never lost to this player (Lost), but I have taken note of his 'fishy' play in our games. This game made me really scratch my head as his choices were completely illogical and based on absolutely no scouting and almost countering a completely unorthodox strat/push, that was made based on my scouting of him.
It turns out his scouts are nothing more than fakes, in an attempt to hide that he is actually maphacking. In his vision I caught him sending units to my the center of my base under fog build to see exactly what I was going.
He has a he gets spores despite not scouting a stargate at all. (overseer is much more logical for initial obs + dts)
Obvious things to note : ~7-8 minues, begins getting spores despite 0 scouting of my tech.
~8:40 rallys a unit (ling?) into the center of my base and holds vision there for a few seconds under fog of war.. - When it arrives he does not scout or bother to check my unit composition at my front, of even my buildings for the duration of the game.
~10:00 as soon as I inch out of my base he begins building 3 spine crawlers at his 3rd for defense. At 10:19 he sends a fake ling scout to intercept my oncoming units, most likely to mask his cheating, but the spines were already started.
---- Some more things to note, this is clearly one of my smurf accounts and I have played him multiple times. He has no knowledge of any previous strat since this is the first time I have matched him on this account, and I do a completely random build to counter and punish his early spine crawlers. A few more things to note is that he is a 2300+ player, not that that is really any sort of accomplishment but that accompanied with the fact that he has barely over 100 apm with zerg definitely raises an eyebrow.

um, lol no. No map hack, nothing suspicious looking even. Review the OP for standards of evidence, you'll see a great discrepancy between what constitutes good evidence and what is seen in this replay.
Also, you're quite rude to your opponent for no reason: "You maphack, or are you just retarded?". What kind of question is that anyway? if he had maphacked, wouldn't he have made better decisions? You're the one who blind counters his defensive build (you threw down your stargate before scouting all the spine crawlers), and then you call him the hacker? classy...

Eh, i dunno, this evidence seems kinda sketchy. I know for a fact as a random player that cloaked banshees are scary at 7:30~ and DTs come at around the eight minute mark. Getting spores for detection alone isn't unreasonable at all, especially considering that he didn't scout and there is the ingame clock.
At the 8:40 mark he has his hatches selected and starts making units, it is possible to macro from not your base you know.
I mean, maybe he is a maphacker, but you'll need better proof than that imo.

Just watch his point of view starting at about 9:10, its obvious during the 1st attempted nydus, and the 2nd nydus (where he clicks on the nydus in the middle of nowhere in the fog of war).

Yup, checked your completely unscouted base like 10 times, and both nydus were very strange - but the second was a dead give away - just no way that he would or even could just randomly look at exactly that point exactly that moment.

IMO, this one is almost certainly not cheating.
The point you raise about his rally location isn't suspect because at about 2 minutes in he see's your drone coming in from the south with his Overlord, and he doesn't see an Overlord come across the gap either. After that if he felt he wanted to rally in to an attack then the closest south base would be the sensible one.
He never looks through fog of war, and if you watch his first 2 zerglings for about 15 seconds from 3:20 he goes to run in to your base and then as they get sight on the hatchery they stop and go back to attack it, which looks a lot like he didn't know it was there until he tried to run in to your base.
He also runs his first roaches in to attack and then realises he's outnumbered and immediately backed off after being hit, instead of just knowing he didn't want to engage that amount of lings.

I think this is pretty good proof, whats disappointing though is that I probably would have won if i didn't mess up my SCV micro with my Thors.

Photon,
I watched this replay from his POV last night, and I definitely think he is map hacking. I don't know what league this is, but not scouting on Metalopolis is incomprehensible if you are at least say gold or above (hopefully everyone else too, but you know what I mean). He stared at your base in fog of war before he scouted, so he obviously is cheating. Also, the other things that you pointed out happen too, and are pretty blatant. I thought it was funny you got the banshee harass to his base w/o him preempting, but thats probably because he wasn't paying attention and you had the close spawn.

Im pretty sure that this guy cheated - the first 2 OL kills werent really huge (the first one was a bit strange) the third OL kill was really strange - usually you dont walk to the gold expansion (after you saw rocks) before you attack. But the real point was that he checked your choke (you had some lings running down) as he attacks

I think that Zeratul cheats (teal terran) Im not sure if the purple one cheated. They might had voice to communicate or sth. The ping was your ping - I think you cant see enemy pings or can you see them?
