There are some other things that i saw at about 8:45 he moved his hydras to the right just as ur phoniexes were flying in.

However I did see ast 10:00 - 13:00 u made 2 harrassses with phoneix one at the natural and one at the main in both of thesse cases the hydras were out of position and you were able to kill drones. I do agree that the moving out coniciding with the spine crawler palcement is srtange but this deserves more extensive analysis by many high level players before a decision is made as a number of things could explain what he did in the game which do not include hacking.

Well OF COURSE he didn't pre-emptively move to intercept the phoenixes every time, that would be the most obvious evidence of a maphack, and maphackers almost never make it that easy.

He drops 4 more spine crawlers the moment you head out with your ground units after you attacked him with Phoenix after not making a single one at the start nor knowing anything was coming -.-

Im not defending him or anything im just making sure that all the facts are there so a balanced decision can be made btw I personally think that he is hacking I play zerg and 7 pool into fast expand is not something that I would consider to be a good idea.

i would say hes probably cheating, although he COULD be just really lucky. im about 99% on the side of him cheating though. theres just too many signs, the cancel the INSTANT the forge is built proves that it just wasnt trickery imo. also as you were coming to attack, not only were the spines built, but also he brought down all of his queens. his hydralisk movement also is a sign of him being able to see the phoenix on the minimap. really just looks like he always knew what was going on

edit: when he moves his hydras around 13:45 there is no way he isnt map hacking

Awkward ...
I was experimenting back in BETA 8pool -> Fast Queen & 2 lings -> 14 hatch. But that only seemed viable in ZvZ.
There's surely something fishy about that guy.

The biggest thing for me, tbh, is the lack of scouting. I can't fathom how a Masters level zerg cannot even be bothered to make a single set of lings to move around the map or grab the Xel'naga towers, he didn't even grab the Xel'Naga at any point during the game, even when he had the gold base with a bunch of Ling/Roach/Hydra

The observer you sent was sitting right infront of his face, his screen was positioned right at it but he didn't even bother to kill it till for a good 20second+, most likely because he couldn't tell if he could actually see it or not -__-

Replays are no longer a very reliable way to detect maphacks. For quite a while now, maphacks have been able to exploit replays by fixing camera at one point as long as the hacker wants, so he could actually have been looking through FOW. Even if he wasn't, I can imagine the hackers still gain a unbelievably huge advantage by looking at the minimap and the production tab.

I'm not conviced. I would very careful at acussing someone of hacking.

I watched the replay. Have to say it looks weird, but he could just have some excellent game sense and timings.
I don't buy the production time hack. If so, why build defenses if you see no units warping? (@ 9.00)
I don't buy the vision hack either. He didn't know from where your Phoenixes were coming. (@ 9.30)

The fact that you could've won despite the supposed maphack (by just 4 gating him after that weird 7 pool) makes me think you shouldn't worry too much about it. Why not call him and ask him for a rematch? Ony way to be 100% sure about this.

I am no expert just have a couple thoughts to this example after watching the replay...

I remember watching TLO (i think) on jungle basin fake a 7 or 8 pool into a fast economic build vs protoss. The liquidpedia 2 hatch hydra tells you to 10 overpool so i could see how faking a 7pool into hydras could work... if you really think about it the chances that you get collossi out with the forge (which i guess can be an assumed reaction to the 7pool) are very slim so the natural gateway heavy attack would be countered nicely by the roaches. I will say the 4 spines are a little suspicious but the droning after fending off your attack was not... I would chalk this up to an odd build order with some luckily timed spine crawlers.

my 2 cents

Its very frustrating that hacks are already in the game - I hope they do not become well known or Blizzard stomps them out.

Tough luck on that game. Defiantly seems like a hack. Unfortunately, not much to do except report it. :-(

I agree, we cannot determine if he was hacking or not based on the 7 pool to hatch.

HOWEVER

During the time he was attempting to macro, I noticed that the hotkeys were changing while he was still selected on one unit. The Hatches and queens were done automatically. HE'S A HACKER

I do agree that droning after I retreated was not very suspicious.

The thing that really makes me question him the most though is the fact that despite ZERO scouting, he preemptively counters every single one of my strats perfectly.

It is pretty suspicious, I don't see why many people are suggesting he isn't by not looking into fog of war. As its been proven that there are ones that can cancel that out in replays, leaving it as if the player was starring in his base still. New hacks will always come and go, it sucks dropping a game because of it, but have faith in Blizzard, they keep up with these things pretty well.

I'd definitely report this guy to Blizzard. If no one else reports him, then maybe he just got really lucky this game, but if other people also think he's fishy, Blizzard will probably do something about it.

I think it's absolutely ridiculous that he'd 7 pool, make 6 lings, then cancel them and go for an expand. Also, I've never seen a zerg make no attempts at scouting or controlling the watchtowers in a game. Overall, the guy's play makes no sense unless he was maphacking.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

In OPs replay red cancels his 3 sets of lings about 5 seconds after the forge gets started and drops a hatch instead. This was what first made me suspect it, followed by the lair just after stargate, followed by an instant Hydra Den. Then he proceded to make a spine crawler wall once the 4 wgs came up and stargate construction ended.He then masses lings as blue pushes across the map, then instantly goes back to drone production as blue goes home, even tho he hasn't seen anything blue did. My favorite by far was the 7 corrupters as soon as Colossus range started, note red still hasn't seen anything in blues base. Red then proceeds to win the game.

I say maphacker 100%

I WATCHED THE REPLAY!

And I agree with your suspicions. I would put him on the hacker thread immediately.

Knowing so many people still hack games really dissapoints me in the gaming community.

10 years ago, I thought by today we would be rid of this crap.

Thanks for the opinions everyone.

I have reported this guy to Blizzard, and I will upload his information in the hacker database thread.
