EPT[?] Spades hacking? - Page 178
| 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) | ||

This is pretty interesting. If even hackers don't think Spades is hacking...that says a lot. | ||

I have been practicing very hard for these events, and I hope to show how I can really play. Thanks for all who support me. I'm sorry that you were caught cheating. Your camera work in the showmatch games was 100% different than your ladder games. This is 100% fact. You made many "mistakes" where you risked your entire army by walking into an area without scouting first. This is 100% fact. I find it impossible to believe that you are not a cheater. | ||

Once complexity reaches a certain point, basement hackers lack the experience to break your hardware/software. Like some of the newest Casinos or like the Xbox360 (yes, there is some drive disc trick to play burnt xbox360 media, but no hacker has publicly stated a way to run their own xbox360 code in over 7 years, it's an impressive amount of time to keep a device secure.) Not so sure about that. The xbox drive firmware was bypassed years ago and a glitch trick was discovered a while back that allows 360 users to run unsigned code/homebrew. In other words the 360 has been cracked wide open. | ||

Yeah. I've been reading a bit about this supposed camera lock. Apparently it just allows you to look. It doesn't actually allow you to take any actions. | ||

It is the sole reason I am 100% sure he hacks. Can anyone disprove or give me a valid argument as to why this is? The burden of proof is on you. | ||

Camera Lock was one, very small issue. I really hope you aren't attempting to ignore everything else simply because one version of maphack doesn't count APM during camera lock, because that would be pants-on-head retarded. | ||

WE ARE THE JURY. IF, AFTER THOROUGH REVIEW Spades is kicked from his team it's because the majority of his mates think he's guilty. If he's shunned by this community it's because the majority of us believe he is guilty. If he's blacklisted from tournaments it's because the majority of officials believe he is guilty. If you're in the minority, tough luck because that's the way the world works and Starcraft is no exception. PS - Spades hacking in the past and denying it doesn't help his case much, does it. | ||

DISCOUNT ALL OF THESE CASES We shoudn't even consider the magic scans as evidence since it has been illustrated that you can indeed scan just off the edge of your screen without using the mini map. DISCOUNT THESE CASES However, I agree with Merz and TT1. Humans are creatures of HABIT. Spades has the habit/mechanics just like every other player. He clicks often into the fog of war sans minimap, He always looks at enemy bases while scouting with his worker. He looks where he scans. His POV is never idle in random places on map for more than 5 seconds after 10 mins into the game. There are hundreds of readily available games illustrating him the doing above HABITUAL things. In the 7 games played against lucifron (and games against theognis) he suddenly drops ALL above listed habits. How is it possible for a human being to drop said habitual actions so easily? I cannot think of a reasonable explination as to why he decided to almost only use the mini map for clicking into the fog of war in this b07, contrary to his habitual play. I cannot think of a reasonable explination as to why he decided to almost only use the mini map for scanning in this b07, and then does not look at where he scanned, contrary to his habitual play. It would naive to think that a player can drop thousands of hours of habitual play and decide to do things differently for an important b07. If Spades could give a reasonable explination of how & why he changed his habitual gameplay for this b07 then we can discount ALL other points made by accepting that Spades got lucky. | ||

It's not that it doesn't count APM. It's that it doesn't let you do anything. | ||
