Hey.
I couldn't see any threads about this hack, so I'm making this thread to point it out there, hope its not old news.

Today i played against some guy on the ladder who tried to DT rush me. I scouted it early and completely crushed him in the mid game. However, when i went to finish him he had something like 5-7 immortals already, which i thought was ridiculous considering he couldn't of created so many off 1-2 Robo bay's, and he'd made 5~ DT's already. However he was trash so it didn't make any difference to the final outcome.

So i watched the replay, and lo and behold, after he turned his gateways into warpgates he started warping in immortals.. yes, thats right, immortals. All without even having a robotics facility... Ridiculous?

Here are some screenshots of the immortals warping in, in case you don't want to watch the replay.

And finally, here is a link to the replay: Replay Download

I was really surprised when i was watching the replay, really really surprised.

What do you guys think about this? When is blizzard going to send out a wave of bans?

*edit*: This was a LADDER game on the SEA server, you can see it in my match history if you like - optical.877

*edit 2*: The hacker responded to my thread on the SEA forums admitting he was hacking, and providing some screenshots of one of his other games.

*edit* 3 - If you are too lazy to download and load the replay, you can watch a youtube version by JoshSuth here

*edit* 4 - yuGusoG has now been banned from SEA.

If it is a ladder game then you should see it in his profile. You can verify it if you want.

Interesting fact: Immortals were originally intended to be warped in, not made out of the robotics facility.

Still, this is the first time I've heard about this hack. Hopefully, the last time, too, if Blizzard starts cracking down on it soon.

Helps to read the post. Even if he did modify his map cache, which i suppose might be possible, its still an exploit/hack, and should be dealt with.

Have reported him in game. Funny thing is he put me on ignore straight after the game too...

lol Why immortals though, couldn't you make it so that you warp in motherships or something? lol
Did you post this on the official blizzard forums? Posting it here is nice and all but i doubt tl can do much.

Technically speaking you used to be able to do this during the alpha stages. Maybe he is just playing a really really old version of the game?

Seriously though, you should report this immediately if you have not already. Thanks for the heads up on it.

lolwut? That is one interesting hack... Too obvious! Blizzard will easily ban him if they decided to do something about it.

LOL I watched the replay. This is awesome. Would be nice for toss to have an EZ win against the 3 rax push :D. Oh well I guess just report him and see what happens.
