As mentioned before, iGware is not playing his 1v1 Ladder games, Sorcery ( Josh Price ) is playing on the account and conducting his cheese play. First assumption of some kind of cheating. Secondly PinkPrincess (HelpImDying from thebgh.com admin) is saying that he does not like to play for money, but I'm sorry I simply do not buy it. If you are top 5 in the world playing for money is a huge motivator especially with all the time you invest into the game. Second assumption of cheating. Finally, iGware backs down from a huge tournament stating that his car breaks down. The reality of this, is that it was simply a lie. Disqualification was at hand when Josh Price would show up to the LAN on David Zhu's account. There are three assumptions of cheating, the shit just does not add up. Now, for the replays.
Game 1: NamchiR vs iGware
Replay link: http://replayfu.com/r/MZKTDm
+ Show Spoiler +
First of all,at 7:10 notice the timing of blue's e-bay. I notice that the banshee is about half way done, but as soon as the cloak field starts to upgrade, he immediatly make an e-bay. Notice also at this point he still has not scouted the starport, an assumption like that is ridiculous. 8:10 notice how he afk's his banshee, but then as soon as the command center goes down he kills the scvs. Obviously he doesnt enter the terran's base because he can see a viking being made. He also goes raven that quick blindly? Please. He hasn't even scouted the starport yet. It's too much of an assumption with out scouting. 11:15, notice he micros the banshee, looks into the FoW and then opts to move that banshee to the back? LoL? 13:35 notice how he starts to set up for the attack, resetting rallies into his base, moving marines to the cliff that Namchir is about to attack, fishy? Of course it is. He's constantly setting up for attacks which he has no idea is about to come. Notice also how little he scouts, but why would you need to scout if you're hacking. I don't buy it, if you're top 10 in the ladder world wide, you're going to have better scouting tactics, like NamchiR constantly checking for expos. Yet iGware scouts nothing. 16 mins into to game he doesnt even see the fucking starport. 17:30, as little as he scouts already, watch how he control his dropship, he knows that hellion is there, there would have been no way for him to know what the way point of that hellion would be, so he opts to pull back at the exact time, to find out where it was going and get out of range effectively(OBVIOUSLY) Notice where he places the drop. You would think in TvT that would be a fucking awful place to drop with out scouting, it's a terran's mineral line, there normally would be turrets there, incase of banshee harass, yet he doesnt even fucking scan it to see if anything is there because if there were turrets there he would have been GG'd with that drop. 20:18, look @ how he looks into the fog of war for a second, then sends all those marines to expos. this is why he didn't notice the drop in the clouded area, he was busy hacking. LOL? He goes up the ramp to avoid the planetary, then blindly sends a certain amount of marines to the other expo? knowing that shit was being made into planetary.
Conclusion: iGware showed off not only his production tab hack, but also his map hack.
Game 2: haCkProTech / tehredbandit vs iGware / Sorcery
Replay link: http://replayfu.com/r/hgT6Th
+ Show Spoiler +
For starters @ 5:04 watch how igware starts to move out and looks into the fog of war, knowing that there are lings that would obliterate his army if he continues to move out. He starts to move out, looks into the fog of war, then moves back to his base knowing that all those reinforcements are coming so he can't save his ally. He waits for the stragglers to move into the Z base, giving himself a huge window to move out. LoL? 9:06 baneling nest goes down, probably looking @ the production tab. He opts to make that many bunkers @ his door @ that time, getting ready for the bane bust. 14:02, sorcery is microing the banshee, but he doesnt scout any of the tech structures so he has no reason to believe that baneling or anything else is coming out. 14:15, watch how he's attacking my base and pulls his marines to ramp RIGHT as the baneling are coming to the front door, he started moving them before he knew they were coming, yet he can prepare for them? lol.. 16:03 notice how he is sitting at his marine location waiting for those zerglings to come and attack. Notice how when lings are around his scvs he is always moving his marines and protecting his mineral line, even though the lings are obviously not going to his mineral line, but just in case! 18:17 mass baneling moves out, we kill the overlord in the mid, take a different path, so he has no idea it's coming, yet he can make bunkers @ that time, and set up for the attack? 18:34, right as the units get at the front of his base he puts all his units into the crack and set up as best he can for the massive bust, coincidence / timing? No. Hacks.
Conclusion: Production tab hack / Map hack. There is simply no way he can sit there and setup for everything @ the exact right time the entire game, especially since he is not using any scans. In this game there are a bunch of fishy moves that make no sense, with out constantly scouting the map and not knowing whats coming, yet he sets up for everything and executes all the moves perfectly. I don't buy it. You're decision, this is what I think.
Game 3: haCkProTech / tehredbandit vs iGware / Sorcery
Replay link: http://replayfu.com/r/4msXdj
I would like to start this explanation by saying that this is probably the most obvious out of all the replays that I have. Here we go:
+ Show Spoiler +
To star this game off, we have 10 pooled almost every game so it is safe to assume that we will be 10 pooling again, so his open is not hacking, it's just smart based on what we have been going. Also to make 3~4 bunkers incase of an early bane bust is a smart idea as well. However, as soon as the baneling nest goes down, watch the continuous mass of bunkers that are being produced. This is the first sign of hacking in this game, also notice that the zerg is going nothing but roaches, this is a complete and utter hard counter to our build this game. Notice how Sorcery has only one overlord hovering over our choke point, but that's it. They have no scouted our base @ all. Around 6:00 the baneling nest goes down, he continues to make bunkers, and pump roaches. Production tab hacking. We take a queen off the creep to kill that overlord in fear that he may scout the baneling nest, so now we have 6:56 they have literally not scouted anything on the map, so how can they know how to counter out build? Sac a fuckin lord bro, make it less obvious. 7:42 lings are coming in amass from purple, and the bunkers continue to be created, while roaches are beginning the mass. 8:23: 30 baneling morphs in, bunkers continue to make, as well as roaches to counter the massive pain they are about to feel. They have not scouted the map AT ALL THE ENTIRE GAME. 9:00 the baneling move out, they move their units in the perfect location to defend the attack.LoL? This is even before we get close to their base before they see whats coming. First attack is thwarted because of their perfect preparation even though they have no scouted the map at all, typical. Now after that first bust you would think, ok the two zergs know they are going mass bane ling so we will recreate our wall, that's a good assumption. However they have no scouted the map at all, so why are they not even afraid of anti air? They continue to hard counter baneling the whole time. 12:06, 30 more baneling morph in sorry 40! iGware sends out 4 scvs and look what he does as the baneling morph in. They jknow they don't have enough structures to counter 40 baneling so he sends out 4 scvs to create a huge wall, at that exact time? Coincidence? I think not. They haven't even scouted the map @ all, so they have no idea what kind of tech tree we have, but oh wait! they do, production tab hack, makes sense to me! Kid says muta, as we move out, obviously trying to cover up the fact they know what we're making? yep.
Conclusion: We could have probably won that game, but I rage quit when they built all those barracks at the exact time the baneling were morphing in, at that point I was just assuming we were at a disadvantage that's probably because I do not have any kind of hack on!!
At any rate, here are just some of the game that I played against them that really stick out, there are probably a lot more, when I was playing them not thinking that they cheat..
Conclusion overall: In these particular games, the only person who is obvious using cheats ( in my opinion ) is iGware. Going back to the fact that they swap account, based on the hotkeys it is save to assume that during each of these games, David Zhu is playing on Sorcery's account, and vice versa, as I do not think David Zhu is a hacker. Sorcery on the other hand is a full blown known hacker from DoTA so it would make a lot of sense that he would be cheating in starcraft 2.
If you think otherwise, that's fine. This is my perception and analysis of these games, and I think I'm pretty on point. But you can decide for yourself it's up to yoU!~!

Hello,
This is Josh Price (Sorcery on sc2). After talking
with many of my friends, I wanted to be upfront with
the sc2 community that it was indeed me on iGware
playing the solo games that brought it to rank 1 NA.
And, yes I was using maphack in some of those games.
Sometime in February, David Zhu (iGware) approached me
with a maphack program and told me it would be fun to
use in sc2. We started to use maphack in some team
games. David agreed to use his account as the
maphacking one, and I had no problem with this because
I did not want to risk my own account being banned.
Just to reiterate, I have never hacked on Sorcery... the account is "pure" and clean of hack.
Then, David urged me to raise his 1v1 ladder stats as high as possible with the
maphack. So, once again, thinking it would be fun, I
used maphack on his account and soloed until it was at
the top ranks in the world and tried to win as fast as possible using various cheeses.
Although I have never hacked on my main account
(Sorcery), I know I should not have hacked on my
friend's account even if it was not my own. I got too
caught up in moment and played for him because he's my
friend. I should have resisted my friend's tempting
reasons for using the hack and played fairly. Despite
many of my friends trying to convince me to stop, it
took me this long to finally come forth and I am
sorry. From hereforth, I swear for whatever it still
means, that I will not hack again.
Sorry to all the people I lied to keep this a secret.

Alright guys 1 day after he said he would stop cheating, he's at it again! Here's the proof!
tehredbanit / haCkProTech vs DxT / Sorcery
Replay Link: http://replayfu.com/r/5F0bGs
All right! So the game starts off pretty normal, Terran and Protoss block their wall, Sorcery doing some retarded ass shit with his cannon rush(who's knows what that's all about.)
So you will notice that the cannon rush is thwarted 5:46 the nydus network goes down. Dxt sends his marine back from the ramp, but he notices my nydus network on his production tab and or map hack, and then goes into a panic trying to kill that overlord, meanwhile sorcery is doing the same exact thing. AT THAT EXACT TIME (ROFL?)
7:14 17 bane lings morph in, and the protoss starts spamming sentries even though they haven't scouted the bane ling nest.
7:18 baneling move out, notice their path in which they are taking, and watch the sentries @ the same time. The baneling are walking toward the terran, so what does Sorcery do? BAFL he moves the sentries to DxT's base!
7:30 Baneling stop their movement, and then switch to the protoss door as we scout the front and notice that there are not ANY sentries there, but look what he does! HE HAS NO VISION OF THE FUCKING BANELING YET HE CAN SET UP FOR THE ATTACK AS THEY MOVE TO HIS FRONT DOOR!!!!
Conclusion: Production tab hacking / Map hacking.
