[?] Spades hacking? - Page 213

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)

Reading through this thread I have several questions:

1. Who is the Judge in this matter. People keep saying he is innocent until proven guilty. Who is going to pronounce him innocent or guilty if not the community as a whole?
2. Secondly, its been mentioned that Spades hacked in BW. How was he caught/proven guilty back then and can the same methods be applied?

1. The community (as well as event organizers) are the judge in this case, since there is no major governing body.

2. Actually he was suspected of hacking, but kept denying it/martyring in the same way as he is behaving right now for 2 years. Eventually there was undeniable proof that he was a hacker (others caught using the same method include TT1).

"Ya it's suspicious he's moving out with his army for no reason."

Lucifrons entire army is within Spade's sensor tower. Spade's was safe to move to the northern tower, though leading with tanks is stupid on his part.

Nice try wanna-be hacker.


LOL I dont even play SC2 that much. Just customs now and again. I do enjoy watching it though. Id be even happier if a known community techie like RICH could verify.

An exhaustive list of features of a paid maphack :

+ Show Spoiler +
Features:

Warden Protection
Version checker
Configurable hotkeys
3-state Maphack
-> Show units on mainmap & minimap
-> Show invisible/burrowed units
-> Show hallucinated units
-> Show Zerg creep
-> Hear sounds under fog of war

-> Graphical bugs fixed
Camera Lock

Also, here's a description of the interesting features :

Camera lock
Lock your current camera position and save selected so you can freely look around the map so that your camera movement and selections are not recorded into replay. Use this when necassary to help avoid suspicious camera movement in your replays. If you happen to leave this feature on and try to command any units it will automatically turn off, this is a safety feature so that you don't leave it on by accident.

Watch player camera
Watch the camera movement of any player in real time, it also works like camera lock so everything is client-sided and not saved into the replay.

Nothing definitive can be determined. I know TL is getting some good ad impression value from the thread at Spades expense but really just close the thread already. Also, it's fine that Spades is dragged through the mud, but what about the OP creating a new account just to post this. If you have an idea of who it is then share it.

Character witnesses is all what the accusers have for evidence. Nothing conclusive has come out of all the replays so far.

I don't get the whole resiege thing, if he saw those marines at the top he would probably have just moved his tanks to the side a little bit no need to resiege. Probably just wanted a little bit more position to hit everything coming down the ramp.

When is the last time you moved your entire army from one defensive position to another before scanning? Spades had seen an army somewhere off to the right, and sees one unit on the minimap so he pulls all of them back without knowing what it was? Come on.

Look at the position no longer being defended when he makes the move - a mined out 3rd. You tell us why it is better to have your army remain split to defend a base that is only giving you more gas that you can't use because you are out of minerals.

This is reminding me of the Rodney King incident where all that was ever shown was a few seconds of police beating him without any of the context of what occurred before.

Why doesn't someone download the maphacks and see how they work so we can just get this whole thing cleared up.

Way more pros have outed him based on the replays, and the ones who sided him were basically character witnesses.

Do you have replays of that match? It would be interesting to compare the fog of war use during this important match to the lucifron game.
