My favorite part was the part where he never selected a queen one time the entire game to do those perfectly timed 25 energy injects. First time i've see someone using an auto queen injecting bot. Too bad the guy was horrible and couldn't put it to use =P

They're hotkey'd at 9 and 0.


My mistake. He had them hotkeyed individually.

Anyway even sc2gears doesn't show that he's been using those hotkeys. He only pressed 4 for his hatchery and ctrl+1 / 1 once in a while.

Definitely a hack, micro part was interesting to watch for the first time though. Hopefully this doesn't get out of hand.

wow that must be a funky little program that can control all that junk for him. People who hack on ladder deserve to get banned + their accounts closed though. If you want to test your bot do it in a custom at least.

I hope blizz is on top of things and finds + crushes all who cheat on ladder asaply. It would really ruin the game if half your matches were played against people with elaborate macro scripts or bots.

Yeah. The queen part was the first tip off. They inject without being selected. The roach micro would even be more believable if the guy was being very active with a high apm already but it looks so much more like a hack when out of nowhere it kicks up to 400-700apm.

That was a pretty crazy and obvious micro hack. The sad part is that if there are micro helping hacks that are less obvious, players could get away with it so easily.

There is a project making a programmed AI using directly Direct x 3d pipeline to detect units/ everything on the screen. This seems to be a very elaborate version of some kind of programmed AI. Didn't watch the replay but what your discribing seems like framelike command precision. It could be considered a 'hack'. But this seems to not be a ladder game. The creator might just want to try it on some humans while not messing with the ladder. I'm certainly more impressed than upset by this 'hack'

Is it possible that this was a custom game played on slow speed? I've never tried, but I assume you can do that and the replay will play on 'faster'.


You think OP would mistake playing a custom game on slowest possible settings with a ladder match on fastest? Good first post


I'm just saying, if you play on slow you can pull this kind of micro off and look inhumanly fast. Would the OP do that, upload it and pretend it's a ladder game? Probably not, but it's possible.

quick google gave me a reddit thread on this issue:

Edit: on second thought, removed the link here because it might be against TL policy or something @_@

also a battle.net thread on it. Hopefully the guy gets banned soon. But yes, such a thing does exist, and not just for zerg. I'd suggest posting on the battle.net forums too, i'm sure blizzard would be very interested in detecting and banning this type of software.

Winning games and obtaining high ranks. A lot of people would do anything for those.


But it is impossible to compete with that higher rank if you don't have skill to back it up....I agree with FaiL_SaFe. I really don't see why people do this.

He's using a new hack that's not too hard to find. In addition to standard map hack it can auto drone, overlord, inject, it can macro up unit combinations like muta/ling for you. Does the sames stuff for Protoss and Terran too. Also a hud that shows your opponent units/supply/etc

And that's the free version, the pay one probably has the micro hacks in it



Jesus Christ, so sad what some people are willing to do to ruin the competitive spirit of this game. Why even buy and play it at all if you just have a bot do everything for you? This guy is obviously map hacking in addition to using whatever program this is. Scary.


But on a more positive note, that would make a pretty amazing practice AI.

Haha, why would anybody use any hacks? Obviously its to get the wins they so desperately crave but don't have the skill to do.

What makes this worse is that it can happen in tournaments too and with money on the line, it becomes even more deplorable. I haven't watched the replay yet but I will soon. Funny thing is that even with this, I'm pretty sure a great player can beat this haha.

Really? I have to argue that things like auto-larvae inject and perfect battle micro will definitely allow you to compete at the top of the ladder if you just sort of know what you're doing. iGware/Sorcery got to global #5 with just his maphack/production tab hack when his skill is absolutely nowhere near that level. Imagine adding AI-controlled perfect macro and micro to that.

Holy crap.

Pretty damn obvious though, the queen was up to ~18 energy from after the banelings and got brought down to 0 again through pure injects and the roach burrow micro with horrible 1a micro into spines. I sincerely hope it gets patched and banned though, I'm going to have to look back at my replays and see since there's a few games which I think might be suspect as well =/.

Well. I am not laddering until there's a patch or a post from Blizzard addressing this. Totally shocked something like this could be created, but I'm sure they'll respond quickly.

I think that was the sickest Roach micro I've ever seen.... someone sign this man up for the GSL!

On a side note, Id love to watch a game between 2 bots with 1000+ APM and see how abusive their micro can be!

Is it possible Blizzard is trying out new AI against human opponents to see how it performs against unpredictable situations?
