You have to provide some kind of evidence/proof (screenshots/replays etc.) if you are going to accuse somebody.

Additionally, a supporting comment of what people should be looking for and when will be necessary if you are posting replays/evidence.

Hacker name: [TAGG] Starlet (changed clan to [gSEX])
Server: EU
League: Master

Description: He will never scout in this game, which is just a thing i think you should notice, its already weird but not a 100% proof of maphacking. Below I'll explain the more obvious parts of the game, which show very clearly that he uses maphacks.

1) 1:10 Checks out my base and especially my depot, which is placed at the edge of my base, in fog of war.

2) We both decide to do the fastest cloak banshee build possible, with gas first in which you already get your techlab with your baracks, because you can build your starport on the ready lab as soon as the factory finishes and you are saving time with this. If you do this you would like 90% get a banshee and probably 100%, without scouting what your enemy did. A raven first could be understandable because of a techlab aswell, in case you scouted your opponent. However at 5:02 he decides to get a viking first, which makes very little sense because he didn't scout me at all.

3) From 5:49 to 6:12 his viking just idles at his production. At 6:13 however it moves to the bottom right of his base above the airspace, because he figured my banshee would take this path to his base. How exactly does he know that my banshee (if he ever knew i had built one) wasn't taking the path above his base, because he didnt exclude the option yet, that i spawned in the upper right of the map. At 6:18 he waits and selects his viking without seeing my banshee and immediately begins to chase it. After that there is a longer macro phase in which he tried to push me once, but it doesn't really work out so that he finally backs of.

4) 12:45 Since I've figured out that he is most likely maphacking I'm spreading out marines everywhere all over the map in order to set a trap and watch if he by miracle dodges all of them. 15:20 He has now moved out with 2 groups of medivacs (2 each), one heading in the bottom left hand corner, waiting. The other one is moving right and then at the edge of the map, dodging all marines as good as possible. 15:47-16:01 Notice how the both medivacs in the bottom left corner wait until i move out, then immediately boost into my natural, the same kinda goes for the both dropships that drop in my mainbase.

5) 16:15 He preemtively throws down a pdd in his natural, without knowing that i moved out at all.

6) 18:15 Now the most rediculous thing in the game occurs. He tried to drop again with his medivac left from my natural base, but immediately cancels the action when he realized that i attempt to do a doom drop in his main, which he ofc couldn't know. So at 18:15 he selects a good chunk of his bio force and sends it up in his main, at 18:21 he even stims the units, completely unaware of the fact that most of my army is to be dropped in his base. (You can check his vision and even at the point in time he stims his bio force he can't even see my medivacs)

After that there are some minor things like army movement without knowing at all where my army is and stuff, he even throws down some alibi scans, but the fact that he's not splitting of any marines to spot kinda tells it's own story. Please tell me what you guys think about this and please report and confirm this hacker, as it's completely redicoulus and he's obviously maphacking. To use ZealotKing's words : "Blizzard please" AND teamliquid please! report him!

Just a quick sidenote:
I've talked to the leader of his new clan [gSEX] about that issue and i even showed him the replay. But he doesn't accept the fact that one of his members is using maphacks. However, out of obvious reason this guy Starlet got kicked out of 2 clans in 2 days.

there is a known GM map hacker on NA named Dinomite since WOL, may be the same person on EU I need to find my replays from last week, played vs him on EU as well, but he was off racing and proxy 2 gated me on 4 player map lol. Played vs another "dinomite" as well on NA in masters the other day who did the same thing. Could be different people tho

He had a smurf account because it only had like 30 games or something.. but he had lost to like a platinum player? (which makes no sense if he was GM).. Even in GM you need to know how to play, even with a hack.. unless you only cheese..

I've been playing a barcode protoss over at na that seems suspicious to me but I'm not 100%.
Profile: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/2754404/1/llllllllllll/

http://ggtracker.com/matches/5243441
I'm going for a fast spire and at the point i make mutas (~10:30 in the replay) he blindly starts making cannons behind his natural without getting any scout of whatsoever and moving the mothership core up to main to be ready to photon overcharge.

Also I have two games where I'm going for a roach ling allin of ~24 drones and both games no scout he makes 2-3 cannons blindly and have sentries ready. And when I try to macro out of it and make roach/hydra to hold his 2 base allin he goes for double robo both times which kind of would've just died to either mutas or vipers
No obs the game i don't go burrow but have one when I do. Pure colossus when I'm on roach hydra but immortals when I'm on pure roach. And all of this while not even seeing my bases, scouting nothing.

http://ggtracker.com/matches/5243848
17:40 random stalker movement and strange camera positioning right as I am about to drop. Looks right at drop zone before drop happens and instantly attack-moves stalkers. He had no vision of map at all. I open double 11rax to see what he would do, but I guess he tries to pretend he didn't see it coming.

other (old) replay: http://ggtracker.com/matches/5243849
At 5:00, he sends a stalker directly from his base to where I had one marine checking for proxies on the very outer edge of the map (Ohana), ignoring towers. Kills marine and goes straight back.

Hi

Just wanted to mention that Blizzard recently gave the following email on where to send hack reports:
hacks@blizzard.com (with replay and short proof)
"the more reports the better, please don't stop reporting, the more people report someone the more likely he will get banned" or words to that effect


Sadly, Blizzard won't do anything. They're not going to have a team dedicated to reviewing replays from emails sent in to ban people. Wish they would but they wont. Besides, what is stopping that person from buying another game license and continuing to hack? Nothing.

Blizzard needs to take direct action with their warden program and actually have it run for a change instead of not do anything with it like they've been doing.

Well that's how they do things. If one person reports, they actually ignore it completely. It requires a concerted effort to get someone banned, unfortunately, only people that take this much effort to be absolutely sure are going to report the correct hackers, meaning the effort of reporting them for cheating by the casual is relatively worthless because not everyone will report the same person that is really hacking, and fewer will actually know they're hacking at all.

I have noticed since the unlocked regions thing that I don't choose separate names anymore if I switch to a new one. My name follows me. It used to be that you'd create a new name if you region swapped, afaik.
There's no reason blizzard can't release new units or fixes to a game without creating another costly "expansion" you've already paid 100$ for, unless they want to treadmill the gambler with future promises of "it gets better"

From my understanding their online hacks@blizzard is almost fully automated now, they discontinued the live support and the live team that used to review reports sent. The only decent way to report someone is using battle.net ticket system, upload proof there, and hope another hundred people are reporting the same people, otherwise Blizzard is not going to do much.

They honestly have the worst anti cheat system, and external hacks are pretty difficult to prove. The only people I have seen get banned as of late are the obvious hackers in Grandmaster being reported by tons of pro players, seems Blizzard will only act if tons of community pressure is pushed on them.

I have yet to see the majority of hackers dealt with below GM.

Name: [vZ]STrife
Clan: Team vaporiZe
Race: Zerg
Server: NA
MMR: Mid Masters
Replay: http://ggtracker.com/matches/5246843

In this game he doesn't ever scout what i'm doing. He blindly counters what i'm doing and he moves his army accordingly to where i'm going to attack. Normally I would just pass this off as blind luck, but based on where he looks and his army positioning, I can only assume that he has a little more help.

In zvz if you don't ever scout you're either stupid or hacking. In this game I open up muta and he opens up roaches. As soon as I start making lings he makes banes, and as soon as I drop my spire he immediately follows it with a hydra den. This still isn't proof but he only masses hydras. Doesn't make any more roaches (still hasn't scouted a thing).

What confirmed it for me though was that he didn't see where my army was going or what I was sending but he would move to intercept my units (I would do weird shit on purpose to see if he'd move to react - and he would). Definite hacker.

Edit: On [vZ] there are two people named STrife. The team leader and an officer. I'm not entirely sure if these people are the same, but I played the officer not the leader.

OK i am the dox death that they say hacked i am posting this to expand the replay because if u look at it u will most likely say i hacked if u dont have the explanation
1. we played b4 n if u see they replay u will notice at the start i said my cc lift off again that is because we played b4 n that happen n he rushed me so i said it again so he would
2. i scout his natural to see if he was expanding n he did not so ik he was rushing roach or banlings so i prepared for both
3. i got a buncker at my ramp n when i saw he let all 6 or 7 of his lings die to it ik it had to be roach so i got marudres n i was goign for hellions so i send them to his 3rd to see if he was taking a fast 3rd or if he moved out with roach i will just run in with them
4. when he was gonna attack me wit his army he was attack my rocks so ik he was there so i send my army there he moved away so i thought he might attack my 3rd so i scan n send my army there n i was right n then he said i hacked

Replay: http://ggtracker.com/matches/5250296

Had a fishy game one, but nothing too unusual except lack of scouting. The second game (replay from ggtracker) is completely obvious. The initial move out with three stalkers on both parts definitely confirmed it for me. He has not yet scouted where my location is but miraculously knows where to start heading to attack (5:40).

At 8:00 he walks a single sentry up my base to force field the ramp. This could completely backfire as losing 100 gas in a sentry to hopefully force field the ramp with my units on top of it would be a complete waste. This by itself wasn't definitive to me but part of a much larger pattern.

If you notice, he has completely no vision as of 10:00, yet at 10:20, knows to suddenly push down the ramp to hopefully catch me off guard with force fields? I "LOL" in game because it is completely obvious at this point that there is no way he is playing without the usage of a maphack.

At 12:30, I blink my stalkers down the ramp for no other reason than to confirm (again) that he is maphacking. He has no vision of this blink to the low ground, but suddenly moves his entire army to hopefully catch my stalkers before blink cooldown finishes.

13:20 is less suspicious because I saw his army with my stalkers, it is possible that he saw the army move north...
