Holy shit... just looked at the micro... theres no way that is humanly possible. he pretty much had a roach disadvantage, + against 4 infestors and still won... strong wtf. doesnt even switch screens to inject or anything. clearly hacking. I doubt a pro with even the best micro could come anywhere close

Two? Where is the other?

But it's the same hacker/cheater.

Blizzard needs to act real quick. This is a master leaguer fell victim to the hack. This guy deserve no second chance. If Blizzard take the action, make it permanent ban. But there is some crazy nuts out there, they will just buy the game once more and hack AGAIN.

If I know this hacker in person, I would punch the hell out of him -_-.

Blizzard is probably (hopefully) doing silent detection now to maximize the amount of potential hackers that they ban in one go.

Orrrrrrrr, this guy has widescreen and quick fingers<_<
Edit: and if you hold ''R'' and click roaches, you could get a serious spike in apm, because of holding down a button+clicking.

The evo chamber block is justified. I can give him the benefit of the doubt and say he put one down for ups then put the other two down as he saw the blings. But he did not cancel at the end....

The micro is definitely botted. Never selects queens and they auto inject.

The 800 amp roach micro was happing wile he was macroing at his base.

What league was this again?

first off this is the wrong forum for hacking posts (there is a thread for it search "tl hacker database" i'm too lazy to link you to it)
2nd, why were you playing 1v1 on gutterhulk-- a 2v2 map?
3rd, did you register an account to just make this post?

lastly, since you got 3 strikes from me I'm simply not going to look at the replay, however, that is odd he went from 40apm to 700, however, quite hillarious nonetheless.

User was banned for this post.


Watch the replay. Glad to see you got banned.

This is pretty interesting. I believe this is the first actual sign of a legitimate hacker at work on SC2.(could be completely wrong here). I'm not sure what kind of programming would be required to execute these actions though, it must be pretty in depth, and I'd like to see the code of it to see what how they did it.

I would assume it's basically a game inside of a game, since everything is so precise. This sucks to see this in SC2, but it's fairly interesting.

Eh, nothing really interesting about it really. Looking at the replay he is using at least 3 hacks. An auto inject for queen, a map overlay/hack (with replay screen lock), and the roach micro bot. The Roach one is used by simply targeting all roaches you want to micro, and presetting parameters, such as "burrow at 15 HP, move away from battle, un-burrow at 50 HP" ect

This is all assumption however. Although there is absolutely no doubt about the fact that the hacks/bots are going on. If I where the type I would try and call him out on it if I played him in ladder/ say a post from him on the official forums. We simply have to hope that all hackers are reported by every player they play. The more we report the easier it is for Blizzard to mass them up for a banning wave.

Now what i'm worried about is are these kind of hacks easily detectable? The hacker in OP's replay is making it a bit too obvious but what would happen if the hacks were a bit more 'subtle' and harder to notice during gameplay?

I was more thinking about how the program would recongnize the fact the roaches needed to be borrowed. For instance did the program keep count of the energy of the Queen or did it simply note it was at 25 energy and then injected. And did the roaches get burrowed and moved based of the color of their health or the actual number of life left. I find it interesting on a programming view of it, just because there's a few ways to actually go about doing it.

Also, I dont see why people think its so amazing to make a hack like this. Its pretty much the same as writing an AI, when you try to do macro.

Roach micro -> When unit Hp < X, R+Move Command X distance towards Base
This of course is provided that you have them all selected or something.


agreed. anyone who thinks this is a mind blowing program has no programming experience.

I think the evo chambers and spine crawlers are a little fishy but not completely unreasonable. In a regular game if you saw that you'd shrug it off as overly cautious but since he's clearly hacking with the insane micro and macro, he's probably hacking across the board
but then I think that rain is wet, so who am I to judge?

There could probably be a blink version of this hack in the future too, it wouldn't be much harder to program than the roach bot.

So at first I didnt believe such a hack even existed. Googled it, instantly found it. Seems to be less than a week old judging by their advertisements. They are using GSL footage to advertise their hack...lol. "Idra fails to kill 20 siege tanks with 100 zerglings? We can fix that!".

This is bad news, really bad news. But since the bot routines are easily detectable by Blizzard's anti-cheat software, it shouldnt take too long for the bans to start rolling out.
