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) | ||

Yes, good luck explaining professionalism to a group of users who think messaging sponsors is a practical way to get your point across, and grabbing pitch forks is a proper way to treat unproven claims.. You'd have more luck training a bear to ride a bicycle. | ||

I already wrote in the other thread, i had similar experience, nobody would act like he did unless he's guilty as fuck How do you suppose he does that? there is no statistically reliable method to prove or disprove hacking in SC2. It would his opinion against his accusers'. | ||

Ahh, so you're point is that because it's done worse, let's continue the trend? Your argument makes no point, other than admitting that circumstantial evidence fucks innocent people. | ||

#2) I don't really get this whole "whelp, you guys think I'm hacking, guess my career is done" jumping to quit stuff. I feel like if you really were trying to improve and be a good, solid player, you wouldn't instantly quit when someone accuses you of cheating | ||

Or he learned from being caught earlier that if he adamantly refuses being a cheat, and then real proof actually does get out (someone hacks his comp just for shits and giggles?) then what's he gonna look like? Maybe it's damage control. WW move sure looks to me like damage control. But we may never know. Hopefully he makes a good showing in MLG and gets past this, but if he did hack, I'd have 0 sympathy. | ||

Good job community, be proud that with circumstancial evidence you can get a professional player dismissed from his career... That because of frustration on ladder matches, you can message sponsors and damage a team's income and ability to play in tournaments... This is Starcraft 2, and as a community we thrive at being fucking imbeciles, I've been curious as to why pro players shun us collectively, and now I know why. You're comparing two entirely different incidents with entirely different responses and entirely different attitudes by the community. Please don't pretend to speak for the community that you obviously hold such disdain and bile for if you can't even understand the difference between ignorant bandwagoneers and people who actually give a shit and are trying to make this place better by giving the evidence an honest examination then appropriately taking out the trash. | ||

If not, then maybe you need to apologize to the community Hey, let's pretend it's IdrA and iNcontroL who are accused of hacking. Top GMs who don't have very good MLG records the last year or so. No wait, let's pick on Destiny instead. We already have a good big group of people who want to ruin him. Look at where he was eliminated from tourneys by players Slurgi, Edge, and Titan. Anyone ever heard of them? tl;dr, even going 0-2, 0-2 in the open won't prove anything. Spades apparently was good enough to be a GM without cheating so wins and losses against other players we likely have never heard of isn't going to mean anything. | ||

For all we know, he was kicked off the team - They just gave him the chance to 'retire' and save face. Many companies do this as well. We just don't know. | ||

Your argument makes no point, other than admitting that circumstantial evidence fucks innocent people. My argument is that circumstantial evidence has been used in the justice system for quite a while, and to dismiss a set of accusations based on circumstantial evidence is idiotic at worst and misguided at best. The community did what it thought was right, and instead of rolling over on the ground and dying Spades had plenty of time to dismiss the claims. Instead he goes on a counter-attack against the people making the claims and never addressing the claims themselves. Either he has learned nothing in his past experience as a hacker that has been caught or cares so little about the ethical questions of maphacking (the reason behind why people are upset over the damn issue in the first place) that he has simply decided to try and hurt other human beings instead of dismissing the accusations against him. Either way, it's not something a presumably innocent person would have done right out the get go (see the most recent Leenock/MVP tweets where they respond to the accusations of cheating with something along the lines of "Lolwut?"). | ||

I would normally agree, but there's a lot more behind the scenes with teams that the public never sees to attribute it all solely to his own action to try to protect ww by leaving, and more importantly the deja vu from the last time he was caught hacking and denied it for 2 years is too powerful in its similarity to now for me not to have doubts about his credibility. | ||

Perhaps if he's guilty he can try to clean up his record by performing well on LAN but I doubt that will happen. I will never tolerate cheating in competitive online gaming, it's bullshit. | ||
