Pretty clearly hacking, I don't think there's any question after watching that replay. He doesn't even target his units.

Haven't read all replies but notice his queens are out of sync. Yet he doesnt miss a single inject the whole game (always at 25 or 26 energy as i seen) even during that insane micro.

Obviously a hacker if his apm was 40 but then went to 1k >.>

At first though with the timings, that's obviously possible because of skill and whatnot or just a well thought out build order or even coincidence, but the micro... yea.

Time to watch, should be awesome :D

Not sure if you are serious or not; but obvious auto inject, 2800 apm etc doesn't really fall under "shady", but rather ridiculously blatant. You should report him.

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

well 2800 apm and stuff could just be from a macro script by just holding down 1 button. also, i wasn't sure about the queen inject since it isn't same as the op. i'm not too familiar with it so i'm not sure if it could possibly be just from macros on the computer. he wasn't injecting at 25 energy every single time

I dont understand why people think that hacking their way up the ladder will make them good. Yeah, they have some bragging rights, but people who legitly go and compete (like I do, MLG PROVIDENCE NOVEMBER 2011 BABY!) are the people who matter in the pro world. Yes it is annoying to play hackers on the ladder, which is why I play a mix of ladder + custom.

Its blatenly obvious the guy was hacking, and it makes me sad when Blizzard wont do anything about it. (Im mad them banning forum trolls like me takes priority over hackers and stuff, although I admit i got what I deserved on the Bnet forums)

Blizzard needs to focus more on SC2 but I feel that wont happen as much because of the oodles of cash they make off World of Warcraft. Theyre much more concerned about making WoW players happy I feel.

Do you honestly think they sit around at HQ twiddling their thumbs? It's okay if you don't know how things work on their turf, but to blindly say that they're not making effort to fix problems is stupid.

Wait, so Samyaza is Jaedong? Looked like some sick jaedong micro on the roach burrows to me.

Deffinately looked like some hax due to the 600+ APM and perfect roach micro.... or it could be LJD! Just saying...

What I find suspicious is that, despite his flawless roach micro / spawn larvae injection / simcity in the beginning, he lacks a lot in his playstyle: there are no overlord spread, no map awareness, almost no scout after 8 min...

They ban hackers in waves, as is standard industry practice.

Their forum admins and their people working on Warden are uh, completely different. They can do both at the same time.

To people saying that he burrowed roaches/injected larva without selecting the units, that is incorrect. sc2gears registers that he did select the units. He just did it so fast that you aren't able to tell by watching it.

(I'm not denying that it's a bot, but people should really stop making such stupid statements)

It's probably impossible to write AI's that can beat top players, but I imagine that with the help of these various tools that seem to pop up, someone like, say, me, should never have to lose a game again. Any master level player that is given not just perfect injects as zerg, free scouting, automated burrow, but also the added time you don't have to bother with those things, could easily become the best player in the world. You can just focus purely on strategy and unit positioning, and since those aren't too hard when you have perfect information, it's pretty much impossible to beat you.

Also, these kind of things are why they should require pro's to provide a private stream of their play for online tournaments for the admins to check. Suppose that you find a way to make use of these programs less blatant, or you just practice enough with them so that you learn how to mask the appearance of cheating, then you can win the TSL and 30k dollar just like that. Given that the TSL3 had qualifiers, essentially anyone could have joined, there's no way to only allow top players who you're sure are legit.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

Just watch the replay. Yeah definate a hack. OP better report this to Blizzard.
@Okiesmokie: You are the one making a useless statement. He didn't select any queens, that the bot did select the queen in like 1ms. People are right about the fact the samyaza didn't select his queens to inject.

Did you not look at the screenshot? Go open the replay up in sc2gears.

The point was that people are saying he was doing things that are impossible in the game engine. (Burrowing roaches/injecting larva without selecting the units.) When infact he was selecting the units. Sure it is physically impossible to do it that fast, but that wasn't what was being argued.

Well yes the hack is selecting the units so fast that it doesn't show in the game but that doesn't really mean people are wrong when they say HE didn't select any units.

You're arguing semantics. People in this thread were saying the units weren't selected at all. It doesn't matter if "he" or "the bot" selected them, the fact is that they were selected.

"He injected without selecting the queen" - If they meant what you are implying, then they're contradicting themselves, because "he" didn't inject either.

Ok, I think we can actually prove this is hacking; I just noticed the queen gets selected off-screen to do the inject without using a hotkey....

You can inject on the minimap, but I do not think you can select a unit off-screen without a hotkey?

(for reference, I am looking at the instructions in the actual replay file, so I know for a fact no hotkey was used for it)
