07:06 KST - method linked here has been disproved here 10:54 KST - Find a full timeline of pro comments (including Spades) in the topic here. 08:47 KST - Summary: Accusations of maphacking have the potential to destroy a player's career if left unaddressed. 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. (also a summary post by an unnamed pro on reddit here) | ||

I'm surprised they didn't pick up and talk about them, but they seemed to have already made up their minds. | ||

ROFL you're joking right? This is as close to a trial you get in a starcraft 2 world. In case you haven't noticed the mob mentality of TL and Reddit have ruined/damaged careers. This isn't just a columnist writing his opinions and then everything is all good and dandy. And I did not say you shouldn't be allowed to talk about the subject. Don't even try to pull a strawman. I responded to a post where the poster basically wrote Spades off because of "pros opinions". Not because he had his own analyis, evidence or anything else. But because "if we can't trust pros who can we trust". | ||

At least where I am from I can't say I have seen examples of people being convicted by the court because "there was a police report" or "there was this one witness". There is a trial and there is evidence along with witnesses presented. The person on trial is still innocent until proven guilty. Tell me that is the case with Spades? Tell me he is still seen as innocent? Because there is no evidence that he has hacked. lol circumstantial evidence still counts as evidence, man. It's admissible in court. Also this isn't a court case. The burden of proof for employers firing employees, for example, is a lot lower than the burden of proof of a judge finding someone guilty of manslaughter. We don't have to be beyond a reasonable doubt to believe something. Just look at cases such as OJ Simpson and Casey Anthony - neither case had enough proof to hurdle the "beyond a reasonable doubt" wall, but people can still appropriately believe that they performed the crimes they were accused of. Spades isn't on trial, but his reputation will be tarnished from this. | ||

There is NO NEED to go into anything more than those really, REALLY obvious hacking moments like Cloud Kingdom. I don't care if the "magic scan" is explainable. There is enough damming evidence as it stands. Let's review: *7 games all containing really suspicious moves. *Spades playing completely different compared to his streamed sessions/released replays as far as map-orientation goes *Almost unheard of low-tier NA player almost beating top EU player in a showmatch that, while not sporting a monetary prize, is the one way Spades can get any sort of attention (which means it was a really important match for him). *Former hacker OBVIOUSLY there is no way to 100% prove it, and there never will be, But beyond doubt he is hacking. Just watch the Cloud Kingdom moment, just please watch it. He's hacking. He's hacking trash and you need to stop defending him because he deserves no support or sympathy. It's over. And to anyone saying the fact that he lost, or the fact that he didn't play perfectly proves he isn't hacking: Maphack doesn't magically make you good at the game, and obviously anyone resorting to using it is fucking awful to begin with so don't expect much. Honestly, Lucifron is so much better than Spades that I would bet on Lucifron every single time even if Spades was allowed maphack. | ||

Shattered temple, 5:47, Spades' POV. Oh my God, he leaves 2 marines at the front and sends the rest of his marines to the back of his base for absolutely no reason at all as a banshee or medivac could not be out yet, and CONVENIENTLY a scouting barracks from lucifron that was STILL IN THE FOG OF WAR(!!!) flew over that exact spot. PROOF: http://i.imgur.com/YPqok.jpg ...except there is no scouting barracks and he really just randomly moved his marines there accomplishing pretty much nothing. | ||

Well, in the face of naivete, they are the right ones to trust, they know how a GM player should be playing. Similarly, you look to experts in certain fields when doing cases. Psychologists, doctors, engineers, etc. are brought in to argue legal cases, because they have more background into the subject than any lawyer or judge. I would trust Pros' opinions as well because they have the knowledge to understand the movements in the game that most normal people would not be able to comprehend. They also know how an inappropriate accusation can harm one's career (since it could happen to them). | ||

I just can't help feeling this has been handled poorly. I just hate the fact an anonymous OP threw Spades under a bus and the mob took over from that point on. | ||

Yeah, I think it's just one of the best arguments. Nobody in their right mind (like above bronze), would waste a scan which has only 50% of landing on the opponent's fricking main at 5 minutes in the game, without waiting for the scouting SCV to at least confirm his spawning position. That's just retarded play. If you're not maphacking, that is... I've done it and seen masters players do it, it's because you think they have the watch towers & will kill the scv so you just throw a blind scan, it's just poor play, and with the cloud kingdom seige, i think that's poor play as well, maybe he fear'd after he unseiged he would stim and run in to attack knowing he played bio, or maybe it was a misclick, just another coincidence imo, the best argument i've seen is him never looking into the fog of war....but, looking into the fog of war is bad play, but NEVER looking into the fog of war is suspicious... | ||

It's no-win for Spades. He'll never be able to appeal to an authority high enough to overrule the people on the other side of the argument. It's an inversion of the traditional burden of proof. In this case, Spades is somehow being asked to prove "beyond a shadow of a doubt" that he did not hack. It's very hard to prove the absence of something. What's ironic is that if, in the replays he released, the 1st person camera does not behave like during the showmatch, that's actually worse for him. Many people are saying that if it shows a lot of this "fishy" behavior that it would be proof of him hacking, when more likely it is proof that this is more normal play for him. The only real proof that Spades could produce at this point is to release a replay that exhibits these odd behaviors AND a FPVOD of him playing that game on his stream. There would be no real way to argue around that type of proof. Unfortunately, it does not appear that he has that type of proof, so things are stuck in the court of public opinion. This is exactly the problem - people form their opinions from random 1 post count smurfs making threads like this, and then they email sponsors regarding these problems. The burden of proof in the real world is on the accuser, but here, as you said, it's been placed on Spades. And again, as you mentioned, it's incredibly hard to prove the absence of "star sense" or suspicious behaviour as people have started to define it in this thread. He did release his past 100 replays from the ladder, so what I'm guessing is that his team and his peers are going to form a judgement based on comparing the Lucifron replays to what is being shown in the ladder replays. There'll be a statement coming from the team I'm guessing in the next 2-3 days, so honestly a mod should lock this thread and wait for that statement. | ||
