[?] Spades hacking? - Page 170

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)

Someone came up with a timeframe where spades wouldn't move camera and no selection was made. Though on SC2gears, it was saying something like select workers, mineral patch, etc. It was a while ago, probably yesterday. I'm not sure what happened with this since I just woke up.

It was proven inconclusive it happens all the time.

Something interesting for me is that, if it were me being accused, I would be in this thread, quoting every post, and explaining my reasoning. I would be screaming if I were being thrown to the wolves like this. Instead we have what, one post from him explaining a handful of moves poorly and dismissively,

Nope, he posted 109 replays of himself which proved he didn't hack at all. get owned.

Good point. The Starcraft high council, a formal, governing body that has been around for years, will figure this out for us. That authority totally exists.

Why did you voice your opinion if you are not going to invest in enough time to bring down spades' reputation? You already invested enough time to watch all 109 of his replays, even at 8x per replay it would take you at least 5 hour straight. Why not spend a 10th of that time write up a point by point argument supported with examples of suspicious actions.



He just said why, he doesn't feel the need to covince people his opinion is correct!

he said why he doesn't want to do the point by point, i ask why he even bother voice his opinion as in a baseless opinion is worthless, and he should not have voiced it, read better.

I have watched all the replays and analyzed them quite closely. I believe Spades was cheating. This is coming from someone who did not know Spades was a previous hacker and a personal friend of his. I am dissapointed and irritated. We have had some great games in the past and it just makes me question the integrity of anything he has ever accomplished. I would imagine Spades is a good player without the hacks but I just don't know anymore.

Nobody plays this way, there are far too many instances of fishy+screen freezes on last location. Not to mention the troop movement and scans are just out of this world fishy. In TvT, positioning is everything and he NEVER airs on the side of caution. There are too many blatantly risky troop movements on his part that you simply would not do without vision of your opponent. That is my two cents I don't care to go into too much detail because it is obvious to me.

We need to clamp down on more of these situations especially with all the online tournaments and money floating around. Crazy to think about......


I appreciate you being open about your opinion, and I know how you said you're not invested enough into this to really take the time to break it down..but truly I urge you to do it. It's important to the community and we deserve people like you to help in these kinds of situations. I'm not saying it's like an obligation but we could really use your insight dude :|

His clan stated they might have to let him go regardless of the eventual "verdict".
If he does get confirmed though, I wouldn't be surprised if every tourney blacklists him.

I'm just gonna keep quoting this until someone addresses it, because you really don't need more than one fucking instance of obvious maphack. Forget the magic scans, forget everything, just watch this one fucking moment:

What moment in the replay exactly are you referring to and I shall address it.


09:50 on Cloud Kingdom.

Majority of pros certain enough to say he hacks. How does the conversation not end there? They know 100x better than anyone else and they overwhelmingly agree confidently enough to come out and say it. Being in the spotlight, they gotta be insanely careful about what they say, yet they were sure enough to say what they said.


If CatZ, a pro player, knows 100% better than anyone else, then why is he wrong about so many things in his video where he analyzes the replays?

The thing that most people accusing spades of cheating does, including Catz, is listing a few suspicious things and then not mentioning ANYTHING that a maphacker wouldn't do, all the times Spades got dropped on etc, why don't they bring up that? It's disgusting biased shit that brings up nothing but a one-sided argument.

because if you want to hack and not get caught you don't psychically shut down every single drop
