If you were thinking about laddering on the NA ladder right now, be prepared to encounter lag hackers. In my last 4 games, I've gotten 2 lag hackers (PiQLiQ and some guy who used a spoof hack to be LiquidHayprO in the loading screen but a different name in the match history) and several people are talking about it as well in chat channels.

The game is extremely laggy and a few seconds into the game the waiting for player screen pops up with the option to surrender, until at one point you get dropped anyway (and you lose points).

You might want to go for custom games!

Mod Edit: The drop hacking account PiQLiQ is not the same as the real PiQLiQ account. So, PiQLiQ doesn't hack (unless he's smurfing as himself). Same with LiquidHayprO

PiQLiQ hacks now? Unsurprising I guess. I'd be interested to see screenshots of this supposed loading screen name change hack, I've never heard of it before.

Theres a drophacker @ GM Ladder aswell, IdrA's his account has been reset by Blizzard due to a fake IdrA drophacking, Fake IdrA is now #1 on NA Grandmaster, Real IdrA has all his matches reset + kicked out of Grandmaster. Didn't see a topic about it yet, so I'll post it here. Not sure if it's true either, but that's what I've heard from several people, and its most likely true due to fake IdrA having won his last 25 matches and starting off in Silver

LMAO, is this for real? They got the real idra instead of the fake one? LMAO, I mean freaking hacker and it is an understandable mistake, but this is hilarious.

Edit: Seems this is not true. Apparently idra went over the Bonus Pool limit

If that is true it would be one of the most hillarious things i've ever heard :D The fact that it's Idra just makes it more enjoyable since he pretty much a huge dick to everyone. If it was white-ra it might not have been as fun though ^^
