It's funny how the allegated hacker inject ALL his larva when the 27 energy point is about to appear. Each time, no mistakes.

Oh wow, if you go into one of the replays Samyaza (the hacker) uploaded at the beginning of March, his caption is "A Zerg with self respect". A sad day for the swarm indeed.

Yeah after a long search (by long I mean googling SC2 hacks), I found exactly what these hacks are capable of. Check out the d3scene sc2 section :S.


Maybe I was naive but damn, didn't think you could hack RTS that in depth, and that quickly.

Yea, they've got automated bots that will micro/macro for you, upgrade inject and other stuff. No doubt this is a hack.

This guy has all his roaches selected, but they automatically burrow themselves individually if they fall below a certain health level. Not only that, they systematically unburrow themselves when they reach full HP (and not at any other level, even if it may have been more advantageous to have more attacking roaches).
Notice that since he never unselects the roaches (to select individual ones), when he gives a focus fire command, even the burrowed roaches approach that target, but remain burrowed.
Also notice that when the infested marines are shooting at the burrowed roaches, doing only pinpricks of damage, it keeps the roaches from reaching 100% hp, and they never automatically unburrow for him, even though he could wipe them out.
Perhaps most glaringly of all, he selects his hatchery and very very slowly taps his roach hotkey, all the while you can see that his burrow/unburrow roach script is still running, and playing the game for him.

Even if he really was some gosu player who had ungodly micro, he makes relatively large mistakes that would only characterize players who play only in an a-click manner.
Life is a lot like playing Terran. You can't win all your battles, but you gotta keep making good trades and maybe eventually possibly somehow you'll win.

Could someone please upload it again?


Got it to DL, sorry my cookies were disabled.

Just watched it and it's pretty amazing. I think this is just the start of what we can expect. Once the hackers have it figured out then they will add delays, randomness and a 250 APM cap to make it look legit. Then it will be really hard to detect.

QFT

Anyone capable of writing this current bot could trivially adjust it to add a realism slider and then the replay wouldn't show squat, it would just show a very good player in certain aspects of his macro and micro.

Even a second monitor or pop-up window showing the fully exposed unit placement would be undetectable, and a smart cheater would incorporate that information into his game without making it too obvious. He'd be a battle.net hero, but never compete in tourneys.

at around the twelve minute mark he larva injects into his lair without his queen even being selected, which I'm pretty sure is impossible.

Not ganna matter to the top 200 ladder at all, he can never make it to top 200, game's not win with micro / macro at high level, it always comes down to decision making. People who has good decision making ability use hacks can push them over the top of the other legit players, however even without the hacks those players can already hold their own. There are a couple example of current big names of sc2 that was a once hacker turned legit and doing very well with hard work to redeem themselves.

Explanation of how this may have happened

i just wanted to address something that people are continually saying... he burrows roaches without selecting them individually, or injects larva while never selecting queens, etc etc...

someone on the first page mentioned this as a writeable program based on frames...

assuming this is true, the reason the replay doesnt show the selections is because of the hundreds and thousands of frames that fit into every second and minute... meaning the replay system shows no change in selection because of a possible write along the lines of '/checkframe(x) burrow all roach < 25% health'

to add a more childish analogy, the same way a magician does something so fast with his hands that the eye cant follow... the written program does something so fast that the replay system cant follow, or that it does perhaps follow it but in a single frame out of hundreds of thousands, thus technically executing the action, but too quickly to show the change in selection

im not saying this IS what is going on, but if it was a frame based written program this is a way of writing those kind of commands, although the ability for someone to sneak this into the SC2 registry files and past any sort of file checking performed by blizzard upon launch of the application is beyond my knowledge

i did not read the entire discussion, so i do not know if this has already been said

What league was this in? If it was diamond/masters, it's not entirely impossible that you played someone who doesn't apm spam and is just really good at micro. Nothing in there was concrete that he was hacking, just insanely good micro really, but who knows, maybe there is some bot that auto burrows your low health roaches.


Why would you even post something like this? Watch the replay.

i have yet to hear of anyone getting banned for hacking.... GOOD JOB blizz. keep up the good work you fucking idiots. if they actually put forth any effort at all these people would be insanely easy to identify on bnet and could be banned litterally days after they started hacking.

as is though there is really nothing to deter these jerk offs and so the ladder is becoming increasingly pointless to play on. does anyone remember battlenet for Brood War???? you couldnt barely find anyone at all that didnt play with hacks on, and so noone would play on it cept noobs and hackers.

to all the people posting in the defense of the hacker, watch the replay befor you post.

Every single roach unburrows at exactly 138 hp.

i just played a guy who i think might have the same hack? he makes like 7 spines against my unscouted 4 gate, and his queen injects were ridiculous. he also had like 700 apm but that could be done by a macro script or whatever. too bad he still cant win the game with hacks loooool

i just watched it again, it's not the same nvm. still shady though, although maybe he was just doing mass spines into mutas
