"A third party program is any file or program that is not a part of the StarCraft II software, but is used to gain an advantage in the game, ... If a player is found to have used such a program, he/she may: Be temporarily suspended from the game Have further action taken, up to and including account closure, based on the intent of the program" -Blizzard What do you guys think about the video that Steelseries posted on their channel? | ||

That being said, it is a major FAIL from Steelseries to promote something that is against Blizzard's ToS not only in tournament, but also in ladder gaming or custom games. Moral of the story? Grubby made some money, Steelseries' credibility has been hindered, commercial will be removed soon. | ||

Disclaimer: Macro's are usually not legal in public StarCraft II tournaments, but can be a good tool when no playing competitively. Grubby, being a professional player, naturally is not using these features on a day-to-day basis - but is simply demonstrating the use of the keyboard and software I guess they don't address the fact that macros aren't supposed to be used in any Starcraft game done through Battle.net. :/ | ||

It really doesn't matter if it is justified or not : Blizzard stated it's against ToS of BattleNet, so SC2 players musn't use it. It's their game after all, they set up the rules the way they want those rules to be. | ||

Not the smartest move ever by Steelseries to promote it like this. | ||

Grubby is not the one to blame here. using macro keys to do more than 1 command (such as setting a mouse button to press shift + r) is against tos, however if u set a mouse key as (r) thats fine | ||

In this case, Steelseries fucked up, but again, don't blame Grubby for making easy cash  | ||

To answer to your post: Its totally fine in my opinion, what is not fine here is the Thread title .. but thats just my opinion. Grubby is not the one to blame here. A macro allows you to do two (or more) actions in the time that it takes to normally do one. It's an unfair advantage. Now obviously this isn't going to be game breaking at lower levels, but when you're masters league or higher, where the speed at which you do your actions really makes or breaks a game, it's not fair. | ||
