[?] Spades hacking? - Page 17

Forum Index > SC2 General

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)

He can hack and stream at the same time ya know.

Even with stream showing everything he does?

External map hacks cab show a minimap, income, resources, production, etc., on a second monitor. Do some googling, you will fidn out for yourself.

Does anyone know how this gets officially confirmed or denied and thus Spades gets removed from the pro list for tournis (or his name cleared)? I hate to think this kind of thing just gets ignored

If you don't hack, fucking prove it. Go out there, rape ladder and events, and people will start to believe you don't. You are right there is NO way to prove you don't. Except at Offline events.




You can hack while playing ladder and online events and last I checked Spades (no offence if you're reading this) wasn't known to be beastial enough to get a solid enough run at Offline events for anyone to reasonably say "well this guy doesn't hack."


Well isnt that strange then that he surdenly playes well vs one of the best players in EU?

Sorry fams but I see this as more of negative attention and reason for people to start blindly boycotting his streams.

LOL @ this don't you guys think he is gonna hack in other matches not just this one if he was a hacker. Just get his last 10-15matches from ladder and see if he is a hack or not. I think he is not hacking and the other silly thing is that you think he is gonna risk his "hacking" in a show match ? This thread is stupid and it should be closed.

This is actually the best idea in this entire threads. It wold behoove the mods to maybe get in contact with Rob Simpson and see if he knows of anyways to get this done.

Is there a 100% way to prove he hacks?

If not, people shouldn't judge so quickly as to say he hacked. It's his career at stake after all. Give the guy a benefit of doubt etc.

Lol, Spades is attributing almost everything to game chance, luck, and randomness. Someone get a statistician in here and get the probabability of all these odds happening at the same time. Maybe then everyone will be convinced.

If I would be spades, I would ignore this, I know I dont hack so I dont give a crap about it,
People that lies falls into traps like this, when they defend themselves about something that shouldn't affect them, if hes that good.

Also I'm pretty sure TL staff has an idea who the OP could be, with them seeing IP address and possibly browser settings.


Why would Lucifron waste time on this?? LOL. Time is money and no one is going to devote their precious time to waste. And regarding to the original poster, he wanted to be anonymous and thus not reveal who he is. I don't see any wrongdoings by the original poster because when anyone report a crime, they want to be anonymous.

Maybe he's streaky. As he explained earlier, he watched the Zain vs Lucifron games earlier and used that. We can't know whether or not he's hacking without real proof either way. Think about it this way, if you're playing a ZvZ and know that your opponent can't hold out against a 6pool very well for whatever reason you'd go for the 6pool if you knew/thought that you couldn't win by any other method right? It makes sense to read your player and if what Spades is saying is true then he made the smart call by watching the games.

Worse than cheating is the self righteous people coming here despite not knowin spades at all etc. just to argue about semantics and stuff about how one should behave and post irrelevant crap instead of the actual replays

Simply because you're not defending yourself with all your might, and you're giving up and retiring, I bet you're hacking.

Any normal, innocent person, would defend themselves vehemently with this type of accusation. You're just like "man! everyone is always down on me! guess ill retire after the next tournament!"

Fucking defend your self if you're innocent, you look so bad just copping out like you are.

yeah, the fact that spades says he shouldnt have to defend himself and he will just retire just further backs that he is probably guilty, anyone who is innocent would be defending themselfs.


Not sure if I agree with PanN here. If people accused me of hacking or whatever and there wasn't a definitive way of proving it (I think BW had some mechanic for this) there wouldn't be a use for defending myself because zealots would just keep breaking down every little thing I'd say anyway.


Theres a difference between not defending yourself, and saying "its impossible, guess ill retire after the next event!".

Theres a HUGE difference.


Anyone who has knowledge of how the internetz and forums work knows it's pointless to "defend yourself" when an entire community has already decided you're guilty. Lol, in fact if he'd been actively trying to disprove the OP's statements people would be calling him out for being defensive (must be because he's guilty, right?).

The human brain excels at rationalizing any stance we have subconciously formed.
I think esports is pretty nice.
