Has anyone done this? I'm not about to read through 200+ pages to check

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) | ||

Even if he was somehow able to prove that he's never hacked this whole thing would have followed him for the rest of his career. Great job. I completely disagree with your last statement. If he was somehow able to prove he's never hacked, the whole thing would die instantly because he has proved that he's never hacked. This is pretty simple. BUT he has hacked in the past, and that has been proven. So barring your impossible scenario of him being able to prove that he didn't hack this time, I don't blame anyone at all for jumping to conclusions about him this time based on the fact that he hacked in past, and has responded with the same victim mentality this time that he did last time, instead of proactively trying to clear his name. All that, and there is a huge amount of evidence in multiple replays that makes the objective investigator lean toward saying he is cheating in some form. How do you suppose he'd do that without being his opinion against yours? There is no reliable way to prove/disprove hacking so your post is rubbish. | ||

I'm not about to read through 200+ pages to check ![]() Somewhat. He posted replay packs where people could see him using his normal mechanics and then compare that to the series in question and see differences. Was it 50 games pre and 50 games post the bo7 that he released? I recall hearing in some older SotG the hosts discussing the drilling in of mechanics and from what day9 and idra talked it sure doesn't seem like you'll change your core mechanical skills for one set and then go back to what you were using before. | ||

A very few things that Catz and co. pointed out were refuted (actually, specifically I can only think of ONE thing, the "magic scan" which can be chalked up to a replay error), but the ONE consistent difference between the games provided in his replay pack and VODs, and the games provided that accuse him of cheating is a COMPLETE change in his playing mechanics. That is the most damning evidence out of everything. You can chalk army movements up to luck, you can blind guess an opponents build 7 times in a row (1 time out of thousands), you can blame the replay code for producing "magic scans" (which, by the way, aren't recreated in his legit games, either in VOD, or in replay). But, a high-level player who's put thousands of hours into becoming as good as Spades is can NOT simply overhaul their mechanics for a specific 7-game set when compared to games from the same time-period. You just don't do it. It takes weeks to completely overhaul the specific mechanical way you play a game. Even more damning is the specific mechanical differences, and how they correspond with how the maphack in question would actually work! In the first 5 minutes of a single game from ANY of the 50 games in his replay pack, he views the fog of war more times than his entire 7 game set with Lucifron. This is presumably because the maphack code is written to hide ANY view of the FOW unless you issue a command to your units while viewing. In multiple instances in his legit games, you can see that Spades has an ingrained habit of viewing the FOW to issue commands to his units, lay down scans, land buildings, etc. While in the games against Lucifron, his habits have COMPLETELY changed. He plays ENTIRELY through the minimap to access FOW that can't be seen. Well, actually, he's playing the exact same way, his habits haven't changed at all. The maphack he uses simply overwrites the replay data to make it appear as if he's never viewing the FOW. Again, you're taking Catz words as truth. There is, if anyone cared to look, not much difference in his mechanics between his ladder and tournament replays, but you think there is because Catz says so. In that one example where he is "not" hacking on ladder and he scans the colossus army, he does it very similar to how he does while he "hacks", ie. scan the edge of screen, not the center... Yet that was the prime example of how Catz concludes that his ladder style is "different." You guys are far too easily swayed No, I'm not taking Catz word as proof, I flew through a good 20 of his legit replays at high speed to spot ONLY how many times he views the FOW to issue commands, and I'm not exaggerating when I state the claim that he views the FOW more times in a SINGLE legit game than he does during the entire 7 game set against Lucifron. I don't know why you've mentioned the scan of the collosus army at all, since my post had very little to do with any specific instance of a scan, and more to do with his ingrained playing habits. But thank you for your input. A note about the map-hack games: I noticed that the replay will allow looks into the FOW so far as even the tiniest amount of actual sight is available on-screen, at which point the screen will stop scrolling until sight has extended. | ||

People have tried to write this off as a misreading of the way the replay viewer moves the screen around, but if you compare his showmatch games to his ladder games again, it is a very different way. | ||

Don't know if trolling me or.... I cannot believe what I just read. I really cannot fathom... my god. Oh my... haha, okay, so, you are telling me, mechanically speaking, he ladders and finds it normal to look into FOW and do clicks/scans/army movements, but then in the BO7 and goes HEY! you know what I'm going to not use the map but use the MINIMAP FOR ALL clicks as well as NOT check the FOW because it's STRATEGIC LOGIC? I can tell you anyone who plays decently will have looked into FOW completely to check buildings they missed, to move army, to do scans... why? Because it is more efficient than always moving to the minimap and increasing inaccuracy. Your blatent bias is irritating and you're "superiority complex" is unbelievable. I hope someone else quotes me and puts some more input into this guy's reply... I find it nonsensical. By the way, don't personally attack, if I was half the "douche" you are I'd ponder myself why you get an opinion. | ||

there are PROS here supporting that he was hacking there are OTHER PROS supporting he most likely wasn't even in high level players there is doubt and inconclusive opinions so why are you all saying HE WAS HACKING like it was a fact? it's not, he's innocent until proven guilty ALSO even on CATZ STREAM he looked into FOW (which they said he turned the hacks off while at it lol?) so why do you keep saying he NEVER did it? such a weird accusation | ||
