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.

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if everyone knows a player that goes by the name of Nerdrrage. He does not maphack or cheat, but what he does is he tricks the system by leaving games in masters league to lower his MMR to play Low league players in a Masters tournament. He's the only masters in the tournament which makes it a Masters tournament. He's done it three times today, and I'm tired of playing him. Please do something about this, it's completely unfair for the bronze/silver/gold players stuck in the tournament with him.
Nothing worth having comes easy.

It's a dick move but nothing we can do as it doesn't violate any rules

Can I come in and brag/complain that it was pointed out out as a flaw in the tournament system in beta. :/

just for reference he never sees any banshees, cloaked, or uncloaked within his vision


5:35 He sees the banshee that has just killed the Zergling that was keeping the CC from landing.

and as if that is not enough

6:57 He sees all 3 Starports and their addons (2x tech, 1x reac) - hmm, what units might come from these buildings I wonder.

Show nested quote +

10:00 He looks into the fog of war at the two banshees, he has hatches selected, not rallying them, not doing anything, but his screen is where the banshees are at. They may be on the edge of his vision but it looks like whatever hack he's using he is most likely zoomed way out and can see them on his screen. There is no reason for him to move his screen here so blatantly ever in a game like this. This is 100% proof please look at this.


That is an actual screenshot of the opponents vision using the GH interface, which grants you even more vision than the regular ingame interface:

[image loading]

I don't know about you, but I don't see any banshees on that screen.

If you look at the minimap

[image loading]

you can see how much further down you'd have to scroll to see them. It's nowhere NEAR the what you call "edge of his vision".

Furthermore, after supposedly having seen your cloaked banshee through the fog of war, his mutas were first sent towards the middle of the map. He only starts sending them back after the first banshee hits the hatchery at the 3rd. What's the point of looking through the fog of war, if you then don't intercept the discovered units?


Your screenshot is the 100% evidence he is maphacking.

Why is his screen so deliberately here when he's not rallying anything, not moving units there, not doing anything? Most of the people that post in this thread and have caught hackers know that the hack he's using has a zoom feature that has the map zoomed out - the banshees are on the screen from his point of view because he's zoomed out. The way he moves his camera is also quite deliberate and different from most other times during the game. He moved it to "check" for something...in the middle of no where? Yeah...evidence speaks for itself.

I accused this player of hacking when i was playing them without even knowing it was noregret. After I won the game, people in chat were telling me this was a noregret smurf, and that's when i'm like ahhhhh this makes sense now. I caught him hacking months ago, i believe i posted that replay as well in this thread a while back.

I even remember the game. IT was dead wing i was top right he was bottom right, and he moved roaches to kill 2 hellbats/mines the moment i moved them down my ramp, and then eventually the instant my tanks unsiege later as i take my third in that game he moves everything in as he was constantly looking into the fog of war to see when they unsiege.

This is the second time i've caught him hacking and felt confident to post evidence in this thread of it. The evidence speaks for itself.
p.s. for people wondering, I won that game. The guy has the mechanics of a platinum/diamond player, zero creep spread, etc. which is why i even opened up the replay to look and see if there was any strange moments like the one where he looks at the two cloaked banshees in the fog of war (he's zoomed out, it's obvious). But even though he has plat/diamond mechanics, he has "sick game sense." -_-

@Avilo. I've briefly looked through your evidence and don't see anything that is "blatant." As someone whose been accused of maphacking/ghosting by you all I can say is is to stop crying wolf.

So, just to reconsider:

You are using a maphack. You see two red dots on your minimap. You wanna see what they are. So, instead of just centering your vision right above the units you click at another point on the map that makes you barely see them with zoomed out enhanced maphack vision. Why again? Aaaah, I get it - because you're an experienced top Code S maphacker and you want to disguise your blatant maphacking by doing that.

So now what? You have seen the units moving towards your 3rd base. You have a flock of Mutas. But instead of sending them towards the units you have just discovered you rather send them towards the middle of the map and wait, until said units attack your third. Why? Aaah, yes - because you have platinum/diamond mechanics and you totally need top GM mechanics to send a hotkeyed group of units towards a base.

Come on, even you must see how far-fetched and desperate that looks, avilo
People thinking they knew exactly what they want, most of the time have no idea what they can get.

I can vouch for this, there are many hacks available right now. I currently have 3 private hacks myself. heh

All 3 of us got dropped at 2:58 and recieved a loss. Looked at their match history and all 3 of them played together and won several games in a row at almost exactly 2:58. Obvious that at least one of them has some sort of drop hack. Anyone know about anything like this?

just wanted to point out the zoom thing isn't a hack. iirc there is a custom game/map with certain zoom settings that would carry over into ladder (this was over a year ago) and apparently it's still in the game.

Just googled it and apparently you can do it now after watching a replay with one of the observer mods.
I may appear to be an emotionless sarcastic pos, but just like an onion when you pull off more and more layers you find the exact same thing everytime and you start crying

League: I believe they are all masters - GM players

Description:
I came across this replay from a mutual friend who was shown this replay by one of the players here for shits and giggles, not sure how old it is but its from LOTV. Some of these players have been on here a ton of times but here is a coalition of 4 hackers, 3 of them being the ones who were sharing the account SarahPalin late in 2015 and hacking in Masters and GM (CountHackula, Sarah, & Suspicious). The 4th player is also hacking and I have been told its TheFatCatChef who's currently a GM league Zerg player from team Gravity.

Replay:
http://drop.sc/replay/3005727


The entire game is blatantly obvious hacking

Edit : I have been told FatCat was removed from Gravity for hacking. Gravity no longer has any association with FatCat

My Mistake, Ophidean has FatCat listed as boosted by Crayon number 154. But the others are masters - GM
