A drophack league sounds hilarious! A test to see who has the better hardware / internet connection!

Yes, I'm sure he needs the validation of a forum thread to have made it worthwhile!

A drop hacker only league does sounds a like a special kind of hell though. Good job from Blizzard.

haven't thought about it but it seems most likely they are banned but just the way they work the ladder, they show up in bronze

Here's my conspiracy theory...

Blizzard owns the account! And they dropped it to bronze to see how well their laddering system works. They're trolling us with the drop hax!
Blizzard are spying on us! Quick! Into your bunkers! They only cost 25 minerals anyways

They will demote HuK and TLO, too, if they share accounts again.
Then they have to drophack there way back to GM.

Has drop hacking rate lowered? Anyone run into any other drop hackers?

Maybe they are banned, but they don't remove their accounts on the ladder so they just get moved into bronze? if they do that to many at the same time they will generate a new bronze league which would explain it if there are more hackers in the same league...

They should re-open copper league and place the hackers in there. So whenever they ladder, they play each other.

My question is, do they keep the MMR? Cause they may be in bronze but if they keep the same MMR then they will still be playing GMs and stuff. Correct? I might be wrong.

It's kind of disgusting how many of you don't understand how any of the ladder system works. When Blizzard bans, the account has to stay in the system due to the way MMR works, most likely. We saw this with PiLLaGe and that other drophacker. Any hacker not in GM but banned anyways will stay in their league, frozen with their current ladder stash, simply looking like they stopped playing one day.

The only news here is that they've found some way to forcibly eject people from GM without bonus pool naturally accumulating.


Don't forget that removing accounts completely would mess up the match history of those who played against them. Removing a player is almost impossible, they can just lock the account.
Also, in this case they probably moved the drophackers only because they were in Grandmasters, which is used for blizzcon invites, and having drophackers there would mess up the statistics.


Good points. You do have to realize that half the system for gameless demotion is in place for GM, so it was much easier to do as opposed to accounts in other leagues. Visibility probably had something to do with the implementation of a remote expulsion system tacked onto the GM league.

haha awesome, and the fact the division has the word "x-ray" in it, suggests that they made it to "get a closer look" at these hackers.... I would be curious to see if they are also banned though will be watching their 'games won' to see.....
