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.

Map hacking is out of control. These garbage players in Diamond 1 that used to be masters are so obvious. They're not good at the game anymore and can't play to save their lives.

So we got smurfs and map hackers all over the place, these people straight up suck at the game and play down in competition. Its disgraceful.

In the past month i have played agaisnt two maphackers. I'm also in diamond. I have the replays and reported them to Blizzard. I was going to put them here but since the thread is "GM" hacking I didn't think anyone would care.

For some reason i don't remember the first game, but the second game I made a proxy, and the second I put down the pylon, like literally that same second, the enemy took a SCV and sent it where I had made the pylon. Withouth moving the camera even. EDIT watching the replay again he did move the camera....straight to the area I had planted a pylon.

But ok right, could be a weird super unlikely coincidence right?

But then... I made a second proxy, to the right. Like, I continued the proxy on the left, made a gateway or something, and on the right side of the map in his third I made a proxy and then a battery and a stargate. He killed the first one. and like 1 minute later the guy takes his army and sends it straight to my second Proxy, without scouting it at all, and it was not in the path to my base or anything, there was no reason to go there. But he misscalculated and as VR came out and a new warp-in as well as the batteries I was able to push back his army and eventually win the game ROFL. A decent actual diamond player would have beat me, but it was obvious this guy was only on diamond cause of the hack.

I think someone with even diamond level mechanics maphacking could make it into Masters 1 and GM. Might just be salt friend

I still keep https://sc2overwatch.com updated with all of the reports here.

Map hacking slowed down for a long time, but with Blizzard's distancing themselves from SC2 I can see it picking up again. I'd really encourage you guys to upload *all* replays of people you play here so we can get a comprehensive list.

I dont think so. I watch replays of people attack moving their drone scout to proxied raxes and playing completely blind. I watch the camera movements on their vision. I'd post the replay but dont wanna violate the rules since it says masters/GM only.

Thats fine if lower league experiences don't qualify, blizzard doesn't ban map hackers anyways. I know my weaknesses as a player and a map hack wouldn't put me into masters 1 no matter what. I'm not going to say every time I lose its vs a map hacker, I'm just saying they exist at all levels.

Incorrect. They do as long as people properly report them by sending the replays to their anti-cheat email.

Eh, there's such an email? TIL after 10 years.

What's the point of the report system in game then :D

1) Goes no-scout gas-first reaper expand
2) This guy moves right on time in position to intercept my reaper
3) Intercepts my tank drop by moving out on the map directly in front of the medivac
4) Randomly sieges at a random position on the map, leaving his main base vulnerable
5) Looks in the fog of war at my main base at 6:40, selects CCs, has enough energy to scan, but doesn't scan (sometimes I do that where I look in the fog but then realize I don't have enough energy to scan)
6) Having a very bad build order for a 5.7k GM player
7) Has worse SCV production than me even though he went reaper expand and I went double gas factory expand

Map hacks include full map vision, but also extend to blink hacks, micro hacks, perfect inject hacks, automatic creep spread hacks.

On top of that, knowing full army positioning, when the opponent moves out, everything the opponent is making is obviously an advantage.

Incorrect. I've sent the replay of the fake Avilo to that useless email adress one month ago and probably ten other people did the same. He is still laddering freely with the same account.

Sorry buy thats nonsense. No hack can promote D1 or D2 even to M1, not to talk about GM. Its like 2 different games.

Very clear hacker.

@1:50 click on building but THINKS he pretend scout. He actually missed vision of the building.

@3:45 perfect build timing to counter a Thor rush and sends all units to my proxy which HE DOESNT SEE, yet, ironically, fails

I must admit, I kind of agree with Beasty regarding Vanish. To me it doesn't strike as hacking.
