That said, this really doesn't surprise. Josh has been shady as hell in every game he plays. Hope I never have to see him anywhere again. Grats to OP for finding him out. | ||

This is some truly shameful shit. Lifetime ban from ladder and tournament play would be appropriate. There's no place in the community for hackers. | ||

That was so pathetic to read. Agree, but people werent defending him because they actually believed he wasent cheating. They were defending him just to be a "e rebel", go against the grain, start arguments, ROAR! If you made a topic telling people that grass indeed is green in most places, you would get 30+ pages of people telling you that you are wrong, because in some parts of Indonesia there is blue gra... etc etc. The current maphack by a certain guy actually gives out a visual and a audio warning when someone makes a banshee, DT or any unit that needs a more specific way to counter, this guy was clearly using that, so he did not even need to scout his opponnents base becuase the production tab is there to tell him everything needed to know. Anyone who took the time to watch the replays saw he was maphacking, clear as day | ||

Sure, but that doesn't close the holes in the game design. Man, it's nearly impossible to make a game that cannot be hacked in. If someone puts in the time and the effort, you will find a way to exploit it, despite how much protection the company puts into the game. I don't know what the size of blizzards team is, but they're against thousands, if not tens of thousands of people trying to find cracks in the game, it's inevitable. | ||

HoN is un-maphackable, mainly due tot he fact that all of the information is stored on servers instead of being broadcast to every player in the game. | ||

That was so pathetic to read. To be fair, until the admission, the evidence given was circumstantial though - by themselves almost all of the little bits of dubious behaviour had alternative, innocent explanations. I've gambled by making proxy structures on Metalopolis before scouting the bad guy's base, for instance. (of course my luck being what it is, the proxy ended up being further from the bad guy's base than my own base!). Circumstantial evidence is still good evidence, it just can't establish guilt on its own. Of course, as more of this evidence piles up, the innocent explanation becomes more tenuous and less likely. | ||

Sorry, gone a long time without sleep- I talked about this with a professional programmer, he told me the above. | ||

Combining that, and with what Ret said, for example, I can laugh to all people that try to defend that ( or those ) pathetic hacker/s. I left competitive CS because of hacking, later on competitive DotA because of hacking, I hope it does not repeat with sc2. You do realize there were like 4 actual good competeive players that hacked in dota, right? Two of them from TEG, and then there was Sorcery(This guy here)? No reason to say dota was plagued by hacking -.- | ||

Obviously, I know you wanted to back up your friends, but that kinda sucks I would regret it if I ended up banned, although I wouldn't try to circumvent it and start popping up on other accounts. I don't regret saying what I said, even though I was wrong - I was standing up for my friends at a point when I believed they were falsely accused. Even if there's reasonable circumstancial evidence against a friend (but no hard evidence), if he swears to me that he didn't do it and has relatively plausible excuses then I'm inclined to believe him as opposed to the accuser (who I should note I have a mutually antagonistic relationship with going back into BW times). Prior to this incident, I did consider Sorcery one of my best SC2 friends. | ||

Am i the only one scared for the sc2 competitions online right now? I mean, there's plenty of 'unknowns' out there (look at the TSL) that are springing up out of nowhere, and even top players are by no means above hacking (just look at broodwars 'top players' hacking history)... Really makes me question the credibility of ANYTHING not done in a LAN setting :\. I mean honestly, if this clown had decent apm (>150 sc2gears apm) and had been around at least somewhat before exploding to #1 (say had a few online tournament placings here and there) and slowly worked his way up week by week instead of just insta #1'ing it and having ridiculous 90% winrates in 2v2's, who would've really suspected him? This is actually really depressing for me personally, I didn't realize sc2 hacks had got this serious already | ||
