Protoss makes a forge in the mineral line...

Places second pylon at natural, probe scouts your 6 pool, He cancels the pylon, makes a canon and a gateway.

GG and leave the game.

Sick protip!
You have to be masters to train bronze league players...apparently.

Hello fellar Teamliquidans,

Its very nice to see alot of ppl, believing in me, taking their time to check the replays for any proof against my case.
Its only because of you people that i got unbanned and i am very thankful for that.

Yet i have bad news.

I still feel like this story hurt my reputation and my name alot. all my skype+icq is full of flames against me from people i used to like in the past. :/
Even tho it sadens me alot I will have take some time off from this community and from this game i used to love. i just dont think anything good can come out in the near future.

But if HotS just got released and you want to try out the new units but never reach them because of some fag 6pooling you every single game. Be certain the "King of Cheese" is back

Farewell, until those days.

For now i am off to a new project, you are more than welcome to follow on:

twitch.tv/cherry_skull (Poker+SM64 Speedruns (completely beginner))

keep it real and dont believe in the things the "terrorists" say.

Over and out.
H to the abit.



Because anybody actually followed you in sc2? your replays all full of terrible harassment, whether you hack or not. I doubt you'll be missed, and i doubt any good was ever going to come from your play in the future anyway, you weren't exactly a good player.

To be fair I made one. Presumably you make a second if you watched all these replays with terrible harassment. 47 pages of this thread suggest there may be a few more.

Watching replays once doesn't make you a fan or a follower of a player.

I guess you don't 6 pool your way into grandmaster without making a few enemies along the way...

It's funny how Starcraft players are by default attached to making sure the main base doesn't get somehow intruded on. In other RTS games it's easy peasy lemon squeezy to react to strategies like this.

Why a person who 6 pools every game would even need to hack is far beyond me.
Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate. - sun tzu

Wow never really thought it was possible to get to GM by 6 pooling. Must catch them off guard.

Regardless of hacking or not, the playstyle demonstarated by you is just pure abuse. You exploit game mechanics, which you even admit in detail in your guide. I'm refering to the hold position and stacking "tricks". Workers have special pathing to avoid problems in saturated mineral patches, NOT to exploit them to win drone battles. Any player like this should be banned instantly based on replays.

Players are allowed to use the game mechanics unless it gives them an unfair advantage, I don't see the problem with using the game engine to innovate strategies.
I mean the worker mineral walk has been used since BW.

You...are either trolling by making an accout just to say this, or you have no idea what you are talking about. He deserves ban ONLY IF he hacked. Playing to win means exploiting every single tricks available in game. Self-imposed restriction means absolutely nothing in competitive game like SC2.

I just noticed this thread for the first time. It's pretty funny that you're accused of maphacking and you're trying your best to deflect the accusations but whenever I've met you on ladder (3 different times across a few months,) you never hesitated to call me a maphacker simply because you build order lost into a 10 gate.

It's not a troll attempt, it's my personal, moral opinion. I didnt't say you cannot use theese mechanics in competitive play; I also very well know that they've always been used, be it BW, TfT or SCII. I just say it shouldn't be encouraged by this guide. Hold lurker was prohibited in several tournaments btw, as it was gamebreaking. BW had a dozen of theese exploits anyways.

I'd also like to point out, that theese are LIMITATIONS, not FEATURES. Workers behave like this because the developers couldn't fix some problems otherwise (pathing etc.). The goal wasn't to produce "exploit vs exploit" micro battles.

that is stupid. you ID was banned for maphacking and the warning is appropriately placed on the footer.

regardless if you think it was a friend, or a friend-of-a-friend, that was using your log in to act as you and openly maphack other players, the ID was under the one you claimed is yours on the main page. if you were able to come up with any sort of alibis or the actual people that played under your account, you would probably have a stronger case to defend yourself. but you dont, and everything youve said so far all just seems like excuses one would make after being caught maphacking. its not fair but this is how things work. maybe you really werent maphacking. doesn matter; you havent been able to prove anything otherwise and the bottom line is your BATTLE.NET ID was caught hacking multiple times.

and im still skeptical about "Sonder" vouching for you.

I'm sonder, grandmaster on EU. I've been playing against habbit several times when he was active. And i have no intentions of taking any part in this discussion, but after getting owned to his 6 pool, i looked the replays and saw no evidence of any maphack, just very good micro.

I dont really find the evidence against him being valid, since as mentioned before, there is also evidence that he is not a haphacker.

I dont think someone should be banned just because someone thinks he is a maphacker.


And then there is this post by our boy Sonder. His only other post...defending Bad_Habit from claims of stream cheating months ago. He is a very focused member of team Liquid and is only intrested in posting in this thread, specificly about Bad_Habit. All other threads are not worth his time. This personality might be representive of Bad_Habit's ego and guilt, trying to justify and defendant the core personality from attack. It is unclear though, as there are only two posts.



im glad the id fametoflame will stay banned even tho you got your tl acc unbanned
