Super funny.

I guess, if you suspected somebody of hacking, keep an eye on their acct and see if they have any games played after the bans were handed out.

They shouldn't release names. With the identifier system, what if you share a name with a hacker?

They are saying suspension and bans
I think suspension ~ macro utilities or modified single player cheat to get more achievements?
Ban ~ map hack?

I have played about 350 games so far and I have watched every single replay afterward. Out of those 350 only one was hacking (map hack). So 0.29% were hacking

Currently about 1.8 Million people play SC2. About 5000 people were banned. That is 0.28%

It is great that the hackers were banned. But people need to realize hacking is very rare. 99/100 times that you think someone was hacking you simply got outplayed.

I hope they come out with a list, then I'll know if it's even worth my time reporting to them.

Very glad to hear it, came sooner than I was expecting to be totally honest. But with each wave there should be less and less news, as people start to realize that hacking is gonna cost them another $60 if they want to play again. GJ Blizzard!

katalysis:

Great job, although I still prefer if they created a parallel hacker ladder for each tier and "silently" moved confirmed hackers onto that ladder... Would've been a lot of lulz.

Mmm should the banned accounts still be visible on the battlenet website ?
I'm asking that because the first thing I did when I saw this topic is to see if the "famous" maphacker VnRock was banned... And his account is still out there http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/716501/1/Vnrock/
Well, those ban waves are still a nice news

Perhaps, but there aren't that many tbh.

People treat it like every other person is a hacker ><

If you look at his match history, he hasn't played a game since August.

Warden is far more advanced than the iccup anti-hack, I don't think they need tips from them.
