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.

Yes , yes. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. This had to be adressed a lot earlier. Just stated one of the side effects you encounter

Might of been an issue with timing. A couple above you a guy posts a replay of him losing to a possible hacker, then your statement, made it sound like you were sarcastically making fun of people for crying wolf.

I just did a little research because he denied it in-game, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt and watched the replay and took note of a few things.

http://drop.sc/198650

1. 14:23 scan burrow banes... what?

2. 15:00-15:25, rally marines to go around creep he never even knew was there (unless he hacked), note he doesn't try to drop behind mineral line at 3rd (crawlers are there waiting)

3. 21:22, Scans a burrowed ling before his command center gets to "fail landing".

4. 23:00-23:08, looks into fog of war to see lings heading to his 5th base, instantly decides to stim his entire army towards his command center.

5. 25:10, 2nd time he killed my watch tower ling entire game, decides not to take the watchtower.

6. 26:50, stims forward to kill broodlords without scanning or anything, but my units are out of position somewhat.



I love his stim cross map to save his command center from lings that he never even sees @ 23:00 LOL. This guy then says he's not hacking later in the game... yea right buddy.

Just played this guy "deusbelli" on the EU ladder high masters playing toss after looking over the replay i picked up on a few this that i found very incriminating :

http://drop.sc/198699

11:30 moves army to intercept my lings not that suspicious but iffy

13:40 rally zealots to attack a hatch he cant see and doesn't know exists

17:50 kills a burrowed zergling but before being able to see it it appears also he centers on it

22:00 walks up to my spine crawler wall attacks it moving back just as my unseen broodlord are about to be close enough to attack

25:00 moves his army though the fog of war following the movements of my broodlord the noticed my morphing broodlords and blindly blinks under them

28:52 shifts queues attack commands on my infestors in the fog of war

i guess the last one is enough i hope something can be done

It feels like if Blizzard doesn't do something ,everyone is going to question if another player hacks every game.
Sad thing to say, but that looks like the way its going.

Seriously, the ladder is swarmed with hackers, litteraly every ZvsZ where i try to 6 pool or cheese, my opponent "magically" knows what I'm doing, it's really funny how they without scouting cancels their extractor/early hatch and starts placing spines in their main base once my zerglings hatches and starts running towards his base.

Well yesterday i was on a website i use for coding and such and saw a game section, and discoverd axeleration aka intel another player currently on LG who doesn't just use hacks , he distributes them.
http://imgur.com/vkTMD

Also a recent game on stream vs team UR convicts xog of hacking as well, notice how he scouts a proxy rax in an abnormal position then rushes muta vs mech as in a 7 min muta rush which is abnormal and almost 100% proves hacks.
Notice in the video (trying to get replay)
http://www.twitch.tv/samsc2/b/321368885

at time 28:36 the game where hacks become obvious begin.

at time 30:08 he rallies a drone to go an extra minute to the opponents base on an abnormal path which scouts a proxy racks while not even bothering to scout the normal position of the proxy barracks around the third

For the rest of the game he stays on 2 base which is not normal vs terran and makes only air units and no ground units without scouting anything except for a reactor on a barracks.


First of all,

Can a MOD IP check this guy and ban the smurf as this is "lightpwnr". I can already assure you they have same IP as this person PMed me from both those names when he was being accused few weeks ago.

Second, those claims are invalid, screenshot isn't clear at all, and VOD isn't clear either. Please provide replays of the games as I want to see players vision and what they look at/click at, etc.

Wow, just made an account there to check his post history out and minor alarm bells are going off...well but.i have no replay proof so nothing more to say I guess. I'm just kind of surprised how often he promotes hacks while saying at the same time he doesn't use them... But vouches for their safety and reliability and claims to know the guy who writes the hacks personally... Except that person appears to be in Australia judging by the fact that he takes payments in Australian dollars while intel is in Canada,and while coincidence explains many things, many coincidences start to feel fishy...

Well we should suppose innocences anyways. And besides every time I played intel on ladder I just felt that he was extraordinarily good, not that he hacked or anything. Just weird how odd coincidences feel sometimes...

Oh, and lol the lightpwnr drama continues to deliver. Grats on giving out your name as well I think?

Edit -claims to know a lot of people who map hack as well. Specifically says people who map hack not maphackers, makes me think he knows them personally...man...

whysomad - admits to maphacking and its seen all throughout the game, no need to even pin point it. I believe he just made a new acc after his old one got banned

http://drop.sc/199012

so far out of 15 games ive played 4 maphackers that I remember - imnestea, fyrepower, whysomad, fnatictricky
its getting quite patheic

we use too ip check maphackers in age of empires and post his info up so we cud catch all of his accs, would be a good way to catch maphackers as im sure they have other accs they try to be legit on

played a high "master" terran called CocRetA on EU, but it was clear after a few minutes that he had the micro and skill of a gold league player. No game sense at all, plays risky and blind, 0 scans, finds proxy pylons, queues his 7 raxs to max like a true gold leaguer.

Here is the support answer:
Howdy,

Thank you very much for reporting Pikachoo. It helps us out a great deal, when players like yourself, take the time and let us know when hacks are being used.

I have started the investigation into the actions of that player and we weill be taking the appropriate actions against their account.

Thank you again, Michael.

Should you require further assistance, please select the Need More Help option below. We hope you continue to enjoy your experience in SC2!

I guess just a pretty standard answer though ...

I wished to have had the maphack so many times on 4player maps, or even worse, 4map+random, and randoms cheese 80% of the time.

So painful

Do you have the link to his stream? Using the VODS to get him banned would be the easiest way.
