About the clip : viking are 42sec to build, he could just look at the timer and add 42 sec to know exactly when to strike again. It's just not conclusive. It's sketchy, sure, but not conclusive.
Is there some functional map hacks out there? Almost for sure. There will always be. CS:GO is filled with hackers, too, even tho the scene is way bigger than sc2 and even tho valve anti cheat system is one of the best out there. Coders can modify the code real fast to keep up with up.
I'm not sure anyone know how deep of shallow the hacking problem is on sc2.
You actually had a good basis for your accusations during the qualifiers, blizzard even reacted correctly. If it happens again, maybe next time try not to be toxic on stream and towards the staff since it's obviously against the rule and if they don't listen even tho you are right and you actually have some proof, just do yout best during the games, keep it cool, then proceed to make it public with a respectful post on reddit/tl/whatever. Same result, without the bad consequences for yourself.
Is that too hard?

what the hell dude? You've played RTS games for more than a decade and the thought that someone has a decent internal clock capable of understanding how long a production cycle lasts is beyond your comprehension? That clip you posted isn't even remotely close to being proof of anything other than your own glaringly obvious lacking understanding of the one thing in life you are supposed to be best at.
Like, in brood war, zvt, I quite frequently fly in a pair of scourge towards their starport right around the time when I estimate that the first vessel is going to complete. I'm usually wrong by enough seconds that marines end up picking off the scourge. But every now and then, I fly in the scourge, and the vessel pops out. It's certainly never hack - but if you only watch the games where I get it right, boy would it look suspicious. You see one example of something significantly less suspicious than that, and conclude maphack. It's ridiculous.

Plus, most hacking community sell their newest/best hacks in a private circle for a ifty price (private forums or via onion) because obviously when it's out in the public, blizzard/valve can just update their anti cheat. They start selling it for cheap to a wider audience when it leaked already and when the anti cheat or the detection method is probably getting updated already. We probably all have a friend on steam who hacked on CS:S or CS:GO before who hacked with a free or 5$ hack and was quickly VAC Banned : that's why.

There's a structure/unit tab and it's not a long way from that tab to production tab. Not that you'd need to see the exact production tab if you get a tab showing all structures and units on the map anyway.

Honestly avilo claimed me and my friend to be maphacking. The situation was something like
Avilo got 2 bases, there is 50%/ 50% change that his army is army is in one of these positions, I do scan his natural and see considerable ammount of army, decide's to drop main and then chat begins:
Avilo: ?????????
Avilo: How do you know here my army is????
Avilo: no scan
ETC

I recall the poster accusing JuggernautJason of maphacking for several weeks and on several occasions. He met him again on the ladder and said "i've accused this guy of hacking before; i don't know if he does" 
its hard to take hacking accusations seriously from a person who says
"i've accused this guy of hacking before; i don't know if he does"

He is just cycling through. This is not an argument for maphack. If he had maphack wouldn't he abuse it more efficient?
Coincidences exist and are not a rarity in this game. You need real proof. The only valid proof is if he follows your army. Anything else can be something you missed, don't understand or a coincidence.
The best proof against maphack is if he did not see something coming. Nobody risks losing an expansion, tech or main base just to hide a maphack. You could also ask, why would he use maphack if he doesn't take advantage of it.
Also hiding is really difficult. The game is so fast that you can't play well and hide your maphack at the same time at that level (if constant attack).
I know no way to stop maphacks in sc2. But you are smarter than us, you could find a way and make millions! Do it please!

Yeah, but it does not prove Kyo is wrong.
I just think that in the clip that avilo is showing, it's highly likely that no production tab is being used.
I do think maphacks exists, Ketroc's video proved it imo. But every time avilo wants to prove hacking in a replay, there is no evidence at all. In the clip in the OP there is certainly none.

There was another thread showing that maphack exists, so yes, there is maphack.
But your clip doesn't prove anything at all...

all maphackers must be heaving a sigh of relief that its avilo who started this thread

I don't understand the clip.

For one reason or another it became taboo to talk about hackers or even fathom that they exist still on StarCraft 2. This needs to change. People may have most recently seen the drama with me playing versus Nero/Retribution/Spectrum + whatever other aliases he goes by in WCS, and how i ended up getting banned and not allowed another chance at the same qualifier, despite me being the one that is screwed over by the maphacker. This needs to change. It's unacceptable that players or personalities in this community can point out cheaters/hackers and then be demonized or called toxic or whatever else. Back in Brood War it was the opposite - people called out hackers all the time and there were even many known Brood War players that people thought would never EVER hack that got caught hacking. An example of this is Pig during the most recent WCS qualifiers making claims that there are no maphacks, as well as personalities in the scene like Nathanias that keep perpetuating that there are no working maphacks for SC2 which is honestly not the case. Can we get a dialogue going in the community here and with Blizzard that doesn't end up with "fuck avilo" essentially? Honestly keeping the integrity of SC2 tourneys and ladder is pretty important for the game to stay alive and grow more. Here is a game that i just played today demonstrating how prevalent this is on ladder right now: The person in the clip above is 100% utilizing a production tab hack + maphack to do what he did in the clip.Is this going to be addressed by Blizzard at all? Are we all going to pretend it's not going on for even longer? Does it take the Korean SC2 community pro players complaining about it again for anything to be done about it? (is there even enough of a korean progaming team/scene/ladder scene left TO complain about it)? The last time hacks became prevalent in SC2 was during HOTS, in which the same thing happened - people continuously denied it, and if you showed someone 100% proof they'd say you are making excuses. It wasn't until the korean ladder became infested with these cheaters that blizzard decided they needed to more proactively do something. As a community there needs to be a discussion about this. No more pretending it's not going on, and that it's become more prevalent. Clearly you are not reading my posts in reply to your idiocy, and moreover, it's amazing that you have the audacity to continually post your denial on TL. As I have mentioned previously, there are no working production tab hacks that are similar to the ones previously known to us (the ones we think of with UI etc). This sort of misinformation and crying is pathetic and makes you look like a complete (enter 4 letter derogatory word here). For that reason, I have reported your post. Seriously dude, grow up. This is why nobody likes you; and moreover, why you're banned from WCS. You should be incredibly thankful you're still on TL's featured list even thought you're banned from the competitive circuit (which I find interesting?). Simply read my previous posts to you on this topic, the pathetic video of you vs Jason, or just about anything else about you on this topic and you'll understand everyone's point of view... or at least you should. Seriously speaking on the topic you've brought up, I do know that many pros are always looking over replays when they practice. If you think they've never had a thought in the back of their mind that some1 may be map hacking you'd be silly. This is what they're looking for a lot of the times in addition to what went wrong on their end and how to improve. The thing is, almost all of them simply don't find evidence and thus don't make flamboyant claims... They're open to the info, as Snute was. But unless it can be proven... don't be silly -_-
Uhh....Yes, there are production and map hacks...d3scene is a very popular site for them.

I don't understand the clip.
Avilo was being contained by a terran with some vikings & a raven at his ramp.
Avilo had a starport at his ramp.
Avilo alleges that the person he was playing against had a production hack (allowed him to see when things were being built / finishing), and used that to know when a viking was going to come out 2x, and flew forward and sniped it.
Other people in the thread are alleging that someone of a GM caliber would probably know how long a viking takes to build, and be able to guesitmate / track when it would theoretically pop out, and try to move forward a smidge to snipe it.
Then there are a lot of people in here saying they don't believe avilo because he's avilo and has called too many other people hackers (who weren't actually hacking), effectively saying they wouldn't believe him unless it was wildly overwhelming proof, which avilo believes this to be, but others do not.

Do hacks exist?
Probably, you would need to have your head in the sand to assume they didn't (every popular game has a hack lets be real here)
Should we listen to avilo telling this to us?
Sure why not.
Should we listen to avilo make claims about any specific player?
I'm sorry but the answer is to this is generally no. Avilo has cried wolf far too many times that the bar to actually consider any of his hacking claims as being valid is set so very very high now.

I tuned in to Avilo's stream once. After 5 min, Avilo had already accused his opponent of maphacking based on nothing. While I'm not really into watching whiny low skill players, I do find Avilo's crazy victory ceremonies funny.

I like your scourge analogy, but his fundamental lack of comprehension is so shocking that your scourge analogy may be too high level for him to comprehend.
The fact is, any player that was decent at Brood War or any RTS, would have that internal clock. This timing doesn't even extend to scourge/vessel, which in my mind, requires a much, much deeper understanding of the game because timings can be relatively fluid (assuming early battles, differing builds, etc.) Do you check your main roughly every 15 seconds to see if your worker has finished? Do you check to see your upgrade timing at roughly 50% and 90% completion before you push out with your army? How many times have you drawn a box over a building right when something is about to pop (e.g. mutalisks)? What about boxing over the egg of your first defiler? I'm sure you've done this countless of times.
How someone can play hours a day and is still unable to have this internal clock is shocking. To constantly call people "bad" at the game when this twitch clip is posted as proof of a production tab hack is sad.

Man.. just because you can't find a cheat from public sites means it doesn't exist?
If the game relays you realtime info about things you can't see, for example what the opponent is producing, it's completely trivial to sniff the packets (I highly doubt they are encrypted, they aren't in csgo for example) and even make your own overlay for it. You can run it on a different computer even, so there's 0.00000% chance any kind of anticheat can detect that.

That isn't true at all. Let's say Donald Trump's wife talks about how we need to rein in cyberbullying. That reeks of hypocrisy and can't be taken seriously. Oh wait that happened...
But anyway, I've watched Avilo's stream a few times, and he regularly accuses random people of map hacking, particularly Winter, one of my favorite streamers. I understand a lot of SC2 people don't like Winter and don't think he is good, but it brings out his special rage when he loses to Winter.
And it is really hard to take someone seriously when they are so disconnected from reality. Avilo is the last person who should be speaking about map hacking because his claims are incredibly dishonest and he can't present them in an effective manner.
