Looking into fog of war at zealot, waypoint command used through zealot
3:53
You decide to scout your own third with an SCV, clicking to maximusblack'sunits. Same waypoint command issued after a few manual clicks and you look through the fog of war at his pylon/stalkers
6:03
Decides to take a peek at the pylon at your third to see if maximus still has his units there or not
7:20
You scan his main...ok, but you then actually select his robotics bay, and then you select his robo facility...what reason do you have to click on his robotics facility? No player ever does this because clicking on it does not tell you what is building in it...but sure
11:00
Looking into fog of war without selecting CC to scan
11:46
You are actually looking at his units through the fog of war
11:50
You are again looking at units through the fog of war at the natural of maximus black
12:24
You had been dropping this entire time, now maximus moves all of his units from his natural and is going for a full counter across the map
You path your marine marauder at the bottom of the map away from his units
12:34/12:35
Ok, now suddenly your camera moves to the center of the map to the middle of no where...to where maximus is moving his entire army.
You seem to have completely stopped dropping along with this, yet you have no idea where his units can be right now.
Every time before this you always look through fog of war, and always 100% seem to know where maximusblack's units are while prepping drops.
Another case of looking through the fog of war and seeing unit positions.

winter again selects robo to see what's building?

winter looking into the fog of war at maximus black's base
4:53
another quick sneak peek into maximus black's base
5:09
Looks into maximus black's base again...this time a full sweep through the fog of war, does not even select an overlord during this time to sac into the base
5:14
While obviously normal to rally units to front base, winter begins selecting and moving roaches as maximus selects and moves his army preparing for the attack
9:33
mutas selected, going to attack? Mutas clicked to maximus black's army at the natural, then winter intentionally looks into the fog of war at maximus units, decides it will be a better idea to go harrass the back base, all without any vision
9:36-9:37
For some reason, the units you sent down to potentially break the rocks start clicking towards maximus black's army through the fog of war. The move commands seem intentionally directed towards where maximusblack's army is moving, almost as if following them through fog of war

Short game, he scouts maximus is 1 base, goes to search for the proxy only on the left side of the map...luck again? 50/50 shot
I only list this game because of the next game...

http://drop.sc/396181Proxy Stargate Game
And yes MaximusBlack is known for cheesing and proxy stargates, just read on and check it yourself.
2:42
marine given meticulous scouting commands given to search top for proxy, winter centers/moves his screen repeatedly to issue these commands
2:43
Actually, winter now accidentally move commands both of his marines to the center watch tower
2:47-2:48 (watch this part of the replay twice to catch this)
winter's screen is now locked at his natural, and he miraculously has decided to change the method in which he will give this marine commands.
With screen locked at his natural winter is issuing commands to his marine without ever moving his camera as he meticulously did before.
Quickly and accurately he queues up way points to the proxied stargate while his screen is locked.
This is drastically different than the initial time he sent a marine to "search" for the proxy stargate at 2:42.
2:55
Winter realizes he has accidentally overridden his initial marine scouting path and like at 2:42 to the area where the stargate is not, he meticulously moves his camera while manually setting each way point. Same as the first time, no screen lock this time, and he does it much slower.
3:00
winter's marine now has vision of the proxied stargate and he barely even reacts to it until 3:05
3:09
winter's camera actually
jumps to check what the other dot on the mini-map is that is out of vision and he stares at it - which is maximus black's probe he then pans his camera back up to the stargate
Winter VS mazarro:
Replay:
http://drop.sc/3959955:20
Winter clicks his phoenix across the map to his opponent's natural as everyone normally does when sending phoenix across the map, you pick a point and go
Around this time you can see Mafarazzo does the same, as this is standard when sending a unit across the map
5:23
Winter now is selecting his phoenix and right clicking in line with his opponent's phoenix on the mini-map. He now changes their move command to the center of the map
5:24
Mafarazzo selects his phoenix and re-orients it towards winter's natural once again standard amongst 99% players he is just resetting the move command across the map. He does this without looking at his phoenix, which is normal
5:26
Winter Selects and centers his camera on his phoenix in the center of the map. Rather than resetting another move command across the map, winter apparently knows something none of us do and he begins issuing multiple move commands towards mafarazzo's phoenix
5:27
If you take the camera off of winter's view, you can see he again move commands his phoenix closer to mafarazzo's phoenix where of course they will stop and intercept the phoenix that he has no vision of coming across the map
5:40
winter is again manually clicking his phoenixes to where his opponent's units have just moved from
5:41
Mafarazzo is moving his stalker/MSC back towards his ramp towards winter phoenixes and winter is clicking away from them at 5:42
6:34-6:35
winter looks in between mafarazzo's main and nat...
but does not issue any move commands, he only looks, then immediately moves his phoenix up towards the natural base
There are 5 more games with time stamps. There are a ridiculous amount of times in the PvZ maximus black orbital shipyard game where winter is staring through the fog of war at maximus black's base.
The proxy stargate game is the most compelling due to the way winter searches for the proxy stargate via screen lock and almost instant way points and then later on even looks at a probe through the fog of war.
