Because of the potential consequences, we should be careful about accepting unproven accusations. The principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' should be applied here. That does not mean that there has been a conclusion about this case, however, which is why this thread remains tentatively open. Please discuss with caution and use evidence to back up your claims.

No, because his mechanics/camera movements are drastically different in the bo7 series and then in all the games he released.

Actually Crowned did say that. And so did Catz/illusion in the stream. If you want to have a private conversation you are the one who needs to start PM'ing. Calm down bro.

Dude just give it up. Honestly the only people who still aren't completely convinced that you hacked in your showmatch vs Lucifron are people who haven't watched the replays or people who don't understand the game well enough (eg silver league) to realize how blatantly obvious your hacking is. You're only digging yourself a larger and larger hole by continuing to deny the obvious.

I think it's safe to say that Spades was at the very least stream cheating v. Luci. Maybe he was map hacking in this instance, maybe not. Maybe he map hacks more generally. It just isn't clear.

Proven hacker exposed. Nothing bad happened. Call it pitchforking if you want, but the fact is that this ended up being proven accurate, so its hard to say the situation didn't go properly.

Spades, I say this with the most respect for you as an SC2 pro and a community member... you really need to confess to having cheated in whatever way you did, and sincerely apologize for it. If you don't, hell, your reputation is already fucked. But if you do, you can begin walking the long road to redeeming your name through clean play after having apologized.

Your comment reeks of someone who is a compulsive liar, which would make sense given the current accusations. Sad this happening and I hope in the end that it is not true - but if it is you can still turn it around. After several years of good community service. I dont know, why did they make up nonsense in a IPL video to publicly slander me? Nobody is out to get you. I'm competitive too, and I know the frustration and wanting to be the best and how easy it would be to hack and if I hacked how I could beat even the top players and how awesome it would be to get that recognition. But, if I was in your situation, I'd just confess. You'd gain back respect. Sure, there will be consequences, but surely this is better than being excluded/pushed away by every top gamer for the rest of SC2?
IF he hacked he would lose out it if he confessed right now. It's better to wait until after MLG and then confess, if you wait then at least you could compete in MLG open brackets, if you confessed now you prolly wouldn't be allowed to attend.

We may all be too old by then. If Spades is 22 now, he could very well be Middle aged by the time Starcraft III arrives.

incorrect, some throwaway account started a shit storm and completely tarnished someone. If this was handled correctly spades would be punished if he is hacking or cleared of all charges if he isn't, but now no matter the situation this accusation whether it's true or false will haunt him.

This of course is why his team has advised him against this course of action. He could, at a minimum admit to stream cheating I suppose.

Lol, you're so aggressive. Your posts on "Do you even know you cArn is?!!" were very contributing by the way, thanks for making that same addition a few times.
Hopefully Spades will stop wasting time soon; and this will prompt Blizzard to wake the fuck up on this issue.
