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.

Someone should do a show about this, it would certainly draw allot of viewers.

Wasn't sure where else to post this, but I wanted to share and didn't want to create another maphacking thread. While it's far from a GM level game (plat), I recently had a match on the NA server against an opponent I suspect was maphacking. I have included the replay:

http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=23741640908798877820&gk=transfer

Highlights:

03:20 - sends two drones to attack my probe without ever having had vision of it.
03:32 - selects two more drones as soon as I drop a pylon behind his natural. Does this before getting vision of my constructing pylon. In fact, he still hasn't even seen my probe at this point.
05:37 - inspects the front of my base, which he has no vision of.
09:25 - another no-vision inspection of the front of my base.
10:24 - blindly repositions his army to the east of his 3rd base, where I have just built a proxy pylon.
11:40 - looks directly at my army at the front of my base, right as I'm moving out.
12:50 - repositions his army based on the angle of my incoming push
12:53 - looks directly at my army on a random spot on the map
14:47 - a-moves his army to where I've just dropped my 3rd nexus

Do you guys think that he was maphacking? If so, what do I do about it? Submit a regular ticket, or is there a special procedure for reporting maphackers?

Obviously doesn't need a thread since this guy isn't at a high level, but hacking is hacking. I didn't watch the replay, but if you find it conclusive, send an email with a link to the replay and a description to hacks@blizzard.com
Also, report him with the in-game service.

Hey, just curious, what does it mean if right now someone shows up on the battle.net site as being in gm with a 0-0 record?

Account wipe due to hacking?
Some end of season GM lock bug?
Or something else?

keep that attitude to yourself, just because the title is "GM Map Hackers" doesnt mean there are not good examples of maphacking in every league, if he has something to add let him


I will not add mid-masters and lower people, even if they are obvious hackers. The reason i'm not getting into this is because I believe there are thousands of hackers... and I have no time to monitor them nor go through all replays. For those hackers, I suggest you people report them in game and via email at hacks@blizzard.com. For the higher ranked ones, i'll be making youtube videos with imbaasfuts as we collect more evidence of those players and then send the replay pack to blizzard as we did for Impa.

Wow. This is the kind of the dumb, elitist bullshit that needs to get stamped out if you want e-sports to grow.

I disagree. There would simply be too many lower level players to police. I feel it is correct to hunt out the cheaters in high masters and GM because these are higher profile players who, as we saw, have a chance to play tournaments for money.

The place it really matters is competitive play. I am middling skill level at SC2 but I can appreciate the distinction in terms of impact on the sport. It is important to root this out, much like steroid use in the Tour de France, because it is the most public and highest prestige area of the sport.

I think it was the OP that made a good comment on that, something along the lines of hackers are generally doing so to get higher up on the ladder. If every high masters/GM player hacker gets caught, then it does deter lower league hackers since they now have a limit on how high up the ladder they can go before they get banned.

However, this should not stop you from emailing blizzard and posting on the blizzard forums (or ever starting a thread to try to collect a bunch of replays of the lower leagues to send the lump-sum on to blizzard).


I see you read a good part of the thread :D Thanks for clearing it up for everyone!

1- Went over 180 bonus pool and the next game will get him masters
2- He got his stats wiped (most likely that if he is 0-0)

Well at the end of the day, blizzard needs to deal with this issue, as far as major tournaments, these guys won't be considered good ever because they can't play at a lan.

Could be luck if it's only once. Can you check his match history? I know I've done this a few times after being frustrated, but obviously it missed the spot entirely more often than not.

Im unsure to what you are referring to, i've also looked through his match history 90% of his games are 2 gates/cannon rushes.

Hmm what are we gonna do if they start to use barcode ? ive played a few high masters on eu who im pretty sure maphack but lol IIIIIIIIIIIII.... which is really annoying especially since a few eu pro are starting to use barcodes too(or at least i believe so), so its gonna be harder to distinguish awesome gamesense and hacking until u review the replay and check hotkeys mechanics and whatnot...

Add them to your friend's list (make sure they are the only barcode on it). Then start a game, any game, can be vs ai or whatever, and do /w (insert the barcode name here). It will give you their character code and you can post that with the replay.

Does anybody know if hacking is more common on NA server? On EU server I haven't noticed anyone, or really ever been too suspicious. On NA, I've had 2 I was sure of, and wasn't sure about another.
