The fact that Blizzard allowed this guy to get away without a permanent ban makes the GM league a joke, there are probably people who hack every now and then as well. It matters because getting a high ranking here is suppose to mean something for real offline tournaments in the near future I am sure.


There is a tradeoff to banning the hacks immediately. If you wait a little bit, then it basically builds confidence among hacker community that the hack is safe, and blizzard can catch more people who use the hacks when they finally pull the trigger.

The problem is it doesn't actually prevent cheating for SC2 the way it does for WoW. If you enjoy cheating in SC2, it'll cost you $50 every 4 months which is less than a WoW subscription.

Isn't this want blizzard wants, since they are essentially having one person pay a shitton for multiple copies of the game?


Pay a shit ton for what? A trial account you can ask for in a seperate thread people will give you if you ask. That's all the hackers use. Maybe if limitation were put on them so you couldn't climb to gm on one it would be more of a deterrent to this problem than hoping they were stupid and actually bought the game. Blizzard knows this since launch and no restriction yet.
There's no S in KT. :P

Did I get dropped hacked?

The weird thing is it didn't say they were slowing down the game, it slowed down my SC2 to the point that it was completely unplayable, less than one frame a second. While it was happening I could quickly and easily alt-tab out to browse the web or whatever, so my computer itself wasn't bogged down, just SC2. Then after a few minutes of being completely unplayable, I was dropped from the game. As soon as I got back to the menu the game was running smooth as normal and it hasn't done that since.

Has anyone encountered this?

had the same issues some weeks ago... i started a threat but nobody was believing me back than...
the threat was closed, and some of the forum users here just hatet against me... funny to see... if a master league guy has a problem everyones believing him... if a silver league guy asks that question nobody believes him... sad to see...
on my case i talked to my opponent so long that maybe after 10 minutes he stopped the hack and wanted to attack me... fortunatly i had my bunkers up and won the game after that...

I actually had something similar happen to me during my second placement match just after the game was released. I'd just assumed Blizzard had fixed this by now. =/

ip adresses may change frequently.
you would need to ban his mac adress, as it identifies his network controler and probably also his mainboard.
Yes.

Uhhh... no. Good coding can prevent hackers. Hackers are basically exploiting flaws. If there are no flaws, there are no hackers.


Uhh ... no. Unless the game runs on a blizzard host and sends only data, that the player needs, you cannot prevent maphacks.

a) mac addresses are easy to fake
b) mac addresses don't leave your segment, that is blizzard or any other guy on the internet cannot see your mac address unless they break into your lan.

mac addresses are easily spoofable. In fact changing my routers mac address is what allows me to change my IP address. anyways there are plenty of ways around IP/hardware bans. it would be a lot simpler to just ban his account.

Agreed. Banning his accounts means he has to keep paying for the game if he wants to continue to hack.

a decent router can change mac adress also.

Might take 20 minutes before your ISP will releases your old one tho.

Yea. It happened to me in a 3v3 yesterday. Funny thing was, my friend and I just disregarded it, claiming "Blizzard's servers are currently sucking" and played more custom matches.

Hmmmm..... I've gotta check that replay.

Kinda ridiculous Blizzard hasn't taken any action over this yet. You'd think they would jump all over this the second he showed up in GM. The only possibility I can think of why they wouldn't is that they're still trying to figure out how he's doing it.

I'd say first ban him, then check out what he did using server logs. No need to keep him active, unless they don't have enough information to prevent this in the future and are following his moves whenever he logs on :x
