People in here bashing the OP for assumptions either didn't read the entire original post, didn't look at the screenshot or simply don't know what a hack is capable of.
The OP is not saying "OMG MAPHACK HE SCOUTED MY CHEESE". This is clearly some sort of abuse.

Unfortunately we can't do anything about this, the OP has to report him and all the other 32 people he abused.

Anyone who only has 1 loss in SC2 as random in master's league, is either hacking, or just really fucking good at the game. Maybe he's the next Boxer? or maybe he's the next Neo?

Maybe because there is no way to provide a link, except get on google or sc2ranks and start searching >_< if you were so fanatic about it, you could have done the same just by looking at his name in screenshot. And yes I will report him, but I got a loss in-game and it does not say I even played a match vs him.

I did search for him on sc2ranks, actually. Nothing came up using the Profile Finder. I'm assuming you were able to find him using his identifier, which I did not have access to.

On a side note, there needs to be an official Blizzard database for matches. I know there is one, but you can only access it by clicking someone's profile on the forums. To my knowledge there's no way to search for a player.

Okay, now how would I be able to use his identifier? When I can't even check that I played him in game, and I did same thing but you did, I went on sc2ranks and I used search function by putting his full name ^.^ And yeah I agree, there should be that option.

Oh Blizzard, really? No rate limiting on a client to client message that interrupts gameplay, wastes CPU and memory and fills the screen? I hate to be hating on Blizzard this but bugs like this are very amateurish at this level of game design.

You should probably host the picture on imageshack or photobucket.

If he's won all of his games like this I'm extremely surprised his account hasn't been banned already. Sucked for whoever plays him I guess :r

R1CH drops in with the knowledge... I'm a complete beginner in actual design (been coding for a long time by myself and ust started a formal degree at a good uni) but isn't this a really really easy abuse to control? Like as you said a very simple rate limiter?

Is it simply a text spammer? Jesus you think they would have fixed that after BW where people could run spam scripts. It barely even counts as a hack.

you can link his bnet profile http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/2688364/1/PiLLaGe/ to blizz lacking his identifier its the same thing to them. if you really get in contact with this guy personally and question him i suppose a convulated way to find his ID is to find him via his division, im sure at least one of them must have their profiles out there

I can vouch that it was a drop hack it happened to me yesterday too!

The game started then lagged to the point of barely even being able to highlight a unit to move. Then after about two minutes of that the drop menu popped up and i dropped

I was able to check his record history after the game and it was something along the lines of 23-0

This sort of hack is famous/common on WC3: TFT. It's nearly impossible to find a game without being drop hacked in this sort of fashion..

He also hasn't lost any points for his one loss. Not sure if that is normal or if he dropped himself on accident.

Pretty normal when your record is really good and MMR is way higher than pts.

I ran into him yesterday. Same story. I reported him right after. Every 1v1 game he had was around 30 seconds long in his match history. I let him know he's been reported and he played the innocent "bnet keeps dropping me" role. Anyways, please report him OP.

The message itself doesn't actually interrupt gameplay, unless you mean it's similar to a DOS attack?
