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.

So what I'm gathering is that, while at first this method seemed to allow us to determine if he clicked with minimap, now it is being shown to be inconclusive?


No. I think it means that that particular click location was possible via the mini-map and not incriminating. I think the principle still stands that Spades may have made a click that is impossible via the mini-map. The trick is finding such an incriminating click.


I'm lost - what did he do that is impossible via the mini-map, again?


The idea was that some of his clicks made "via minimap" or "during camera lock" were too close together to have been made by clicking on the minimap. As if he were actually clicking on the terrain. It has been debunked so far, but there might be another way to analyze it.


But you cannot do anything during Camera Lock, it prevents the user from doing anything apart from moving around with his or her screen.

+ Show Spoiler +
If that's your point, then I'm still missing something, haha.


Wait, are we talking about the Camera Lock included in the hack, or in the Replay Menu?

The only way to prove he wasn't using Camera Lock would be him using the minimap. If they prove the clicks aren't valid via the minimap, it proves he is using Camera Lock.

Quite frankly its pointless imo. Why would Spades play via the minimap in his showmatch vs Lucifron but in practice and on stream, he always goes through the Fog of War? Doesn't make sense, unless he was using Camera Lock to hide him looking into Fog of War because he is maphacking.


He cannot issue commands on the minimap during Camera Lock. And I don't know why he would, a lot of the shit he does, doesn't make sense.


People aren't trying to figure out whether he actually issues minimap commands, they are trying to figure out if minimap command can or can not be an explanation for the behavior in the current replay. If they can not then he is certainly map hacking. If this technique did work it could also be automated which would be nice, as you can could scan a huge library of replays to find offenders.

One thing for the community could do is to save replays for ALL online tournaments and tons of random ladder games in a giant database. If at any point in a future a reliable way to detect map hackers is discovered then players can be caught with past games.

That's how it happened in BW and tons of players got busted. It means even if your hack is undetectable at the moment you risk being caught in the future.

How do you know this good sir? Unless you are very familiar with every possible hack and how it works then you can't make definitive statements like this.


I'm familiar with this particular hack.


Is there a possibility that he isn't using the particular hack that you are familiar with? One that can do something that the one you're familiar with doesn't do?


Not unless it's a private hack that I don't know of + Show Spoiler +
I don't actually use hacks for games, lol


I know one of the contributors who were in the development of this particular hack, it's been undetected for 3 seasons straight, it used to be a private hack but it was released to the public. It's very sophisticated and it's the only "Warden-proof" hack on the internet that is not a private hack, for StarCraft 2, that is.


Basically what he's saying is that Spades must be using (not named). How he came to this conclusion I do not know.

Although, even a 30 second search tells me (not named) is not the only publicly available hack.. Although it has been undetected for many months now, so it fits his description of the hack.


Well, there are other public hacks available, but they're not safe since season 7/8.

The only reason I know of this is because I've had first hand experience with the hack+ Show Spoiler +
on a Starter Edition, never used on other players
, for educational purposes. I code A.I. in Flash for school/sparetime(homework)

I don't know any technical stuff about the part of the maphack that reveals Fog of War, because that's not really my area, but I know a bit of the automated actions.


Everything other than the camera lock can be done purely passively, i.e. externally. These hacks are in theory undetectable by Blizzard because there is a law preventing them from scanning your general memory for it, and they have no effect internally so Warden can't find it amongst SC2's ram.


Yeah, I know of that, but that's just a maphack and perhaps some U.I. showing production or army value as well as resources, but I only mentioned the automated commands as an example to what could be definitive proof. Send me p/m's as of now, please, I'll be more than happy to help but I want to play Battlefield now


I'm not actually looking for maphack signatures lol, I think you misunderstand. I'm just interested in trying to disprove any signatures people think they found, for the argument/defense.


We need more people like you; thanks for trying to help the community.

Not gonna do it publically because there are two other people in that convo whose identities I have no real reason to reveal to the general masses.


I understand. But please do it to the TL mods. They can deliberate then put a closing thought at the top of the thread.

This sounds like something taken out of context that is a joking stab at (hack not named), rather than something said seriously....

You can just black out anything that would give away their identity. Spades would already know from what you've posted already, so that wouldn't change anything.

Even if that conversation is real, it does not prove a thing. People often have conversations of indifferent nature with friends after being accused, whether guilty or not guilty.

GG no re, Spades.

His reaction to being found out was too suspicious anyways. If I were a progamer accused of maphacking I would be taking a lot more time to prove myself innocent, or at least more time to rage.

The thread is unwinding. It's only a matter of time before he comes back and admits to the hacking now... I promise he's monitoring this thread, waiting to see if anyone can prove him a hacker before he admits it.

The screenshot only supports this, despite the fact that on it's own I'm not sure how it's definitive proof.

Here is more of the log, I dont know who this is, but apparently hes in a skype chat with me and like 20 other people. He's taking something out of context and being stupid.

[4:27:01 PM] Brian Francis: you saw they posted some new way
[4:27:04 PM] Brian Francis: of saying its 100% proof
[4:27:09 PM] Brian Francis: then it got proved wrong l ike a page later
[4:27:17 PM] Brian Francis: how catz said my clicks were too precise
[4:27:18 PM] Brian Francis: or some shit
[4:27:27 PM] Michael Francis: catz is an idiot
[4:27:33 PM] Brian Francis: everything he used as solid evidence
[4:27:34 PM] Michael Francis: precisely
[4:27:35 PM] Daltan Beach: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/uoc3a/conclusive_proof_that_spades_was_hacking/
[4:27:36 PM] Brian Francis: has been proven wrong
[4:27:38 PM] Daltan Beach: funniest shit ever
[4:27:56 PM] Daltan Beach: Post a picture of yourself reading a map
[4:27:59 PM] Brian Francis: yeah he posted that on TL.net
[4:28:00 PM] Daltan Beach: or atleast find one that i can post
[4:28:02 PM] Brian Francis: and it was proven wrong
[4:28:15 PM] Daltan Beach: If you give me a picture of you reading a map
[4:28:16 PM] Daltan Beach: or using a globe
[4:28:23 PM] Daltan Beach: Ill cry
[4:28:40 PM] Daltan Beach: [–]NeoDestiny 148 points 51 minutes ago
This is 100% conclusive. Really smart of the OP.
Here's the laymen's version if you're having trouble understanding -
Say you have a "real map" that is 1000x1000, and a "minimap" that is 100x100. This means that all of your clicks on the minimap are essentially multiplied by 10 to determine where they would fall on the real map. ie: clicking on 25x50 on the minimap would correspond to 250x500 on the real map, 46x89 would correspond to 460x890 on the real map, etc...etc...
According to Spades, he was clicking on the minimap to perform a lot of actions instead of scrolling into the fog of war to perform those same actions. The problem is that, during the replay, Spades screen is locked so that he must be clicking the minimap, but the clicks he's making are too precise to come from the minimap. Using our previous example, Spades is essentially claiming to be clicking a point like 252x582 on the minimap, which is impossible, as the closest we could get to that point is 25x58 or 26x59 on our minimap. Given the dimensions of the minimap, he is clicking with a precision that is impossible on the real map.
Clicks with that precision on the real map while the screen is locked means that one can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that Spades is maphacking.
[4:29:21 PM] Michael Francis: just take a picture of a globe next to your computer screen
[4:29:31 PM] Daltan Beach: thats perfect
[4:29:39 PM] Daltan Beach: thx spades' brother
[4:29:40 PM] Brian Francis: yeah then people on tl proved u can easily click those spots
[4:29:43 PM] Brian Francis: using minimap
[4:29:46 PM] Michael Francis: lol
[4:29:50 PM] Tito Santiago: rofl
[4:30:04 PM] Brian Francis: i dont own a globe
[4:30:11 PM] Michael Francis: how do i post on reddit
[4:30:14 PM] Michael Francis: "myth busted"
[4:30:25 PM] Tito Santiago: go find one
[4:30:34 PM] Tito Santiago: or like
[4:30:36 PM] Tito Santiago: stream
[4:30:44 PM] Tito Santiago: and while streaming open a map of the world on google maps
[4:30:50 PM] Daltan Beach: Let's accuse some pro of hacking
[4:30:53 PM] Daltan Beach: with no evidence
[4:30:54 PM] Tito Santiago: Lol
[4:30:57 PM] Daltan Beach: it'll be great
[4:31:02 PM] Daltan Beach: who has a lot of replays out
[4:31:05 PM] Daltan Beach: and we dont like
[4:31:27 PM] Michael Francis: lets accuse idra
[4:31:29 PM] Tito Santiago: hey daltan
[4:31:30 PM] Michael Francis: or catz
[4:31:33 PM] Tito Santiago: take that picture of catz
[4:31:39 PM] Tito Santiago: the judge one
[4:31:40 PM] Tito Santiago: and put
[4:31:53 PM] Michael Francis: i like how catz somehow knew all this information about the 'hack' mechanics
[4:31:54 PM] Tito Santiago: "Can't find a single note while singing, thinks he can find a hacker"
[4:31:59 PM] Tito Santiago: and post it on something
[4:31:59 PM] Michael Francis: like, oh if you right click into fog
[4:32:03 PM] Michael Francis: it doesn't lock
[4:32:15 PM] Michael Francis: but when your scrolling into the fog, shouldn't it lock before u ahve a chance to right click
[4:32:20 PM] Michael Francis: gg
[4:32:26 PM] Brian Francis: people have small brains
[4:32:32 PM] Tito Santiago: ^
[4:32:45 PM] Brian Francis: basically everything the hack does
[4:32:50 PM] Brian Francis: they cant prove i did any of it
[4:32:54 PM] Brian Francis: nor can they prove its possible
[4:33:01 PM] Brian Francis: because i do actions in these "camera lock" times
[4:33:05 PM] Michael Francis: basically your the best hacker in the world
[4:33:08 PM] Michael Francis: kids need to respect
[4:33:08 PM] Brian Francis: so people say I must have made my own private supe rhack
[4:33:12 PM] Tito Santiago: LOL
[4:33:12 PM] Brian Francis: or something
[4:33:19 PM] Michael Francis: undetectable
[4:33:21 PM] Brian Francis: they think this is swordfish
[4:33:23 PM] Brian Francis: or some shit
[4:33:31 PM] Michael Francis: since your a computer programmer
[4:33:42 PM] Tito Santiago: hahahah
[4:34:09 PM] Daltan Beach: terran 3/15 or some shit in GSL
[4:34:16 PM] Daltan Beach: fucking IMBA
[4:35:44 PM] Tito Santiago: lol

Yeah. And after rereading it a couple times it sounds like he's talking about it as if rolling his eyes you know? Like he's being facetious when he says 'like your a computer programmer hahahah' and it sounds like Brian is incredulous that people would think he is capable of making his own private super hack that can do more than the one he is describing.

Of course, this can also just be the guilty party trying to make it seem like a big joke to a friend

Bottom line, this is irrelevant to this thread and shouldn't be given much thought.

Either im retarded or you all are illiterate because he doesn't admit to hacking in this convo. You need to post the full log cause right now it looks like he is commenting on what other people are speculating about him.

EDIT: It's from Skype not facebook.


This sounds like something taken out of context that is a joking stab at (hack not named), rather than something said seriously....

Entire log plz or no go.


Here is more of the log, I dont know who this is, but apparently hes in a skype chat with me and like 20 other people. He's taking something out of context and being stupid.

[4:27:01 PM] Brian Francis: you saw they posted some new way
[4:27:04 PM] Brian Francis: of saying its 100% proof
[4:27:09 PM] Brian Francis: then it got proved wrong l ike a page later
[4:27:17 PM] Brian Francis: how catz said my clicks were too precise
[4:27:18 PM] Brian Francis: or some shit
[4:27:27 PM] Michael Francis: catz is an idiot
[4:27:33 PM] Brian Francis: everything he used as solid evidence
[4:27:34 PM] Michael Francis: precisely
[4:27:35 PM] Daltan Beach: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/uoc3a/conclusive_proof_that_spades_was_hacking/
[4:27:36 PM] Brian Francis: has been proven wrong
[4:27:38 PM] Daltan Beach: funniest shit ever
[4:27:56 PM] Daltan Beach: Post a picture of yourself reading a map
[4:27:59 PM] Brian Francis: yeah he posted that on TL.net
[4:28:00 PM] Daltan Beach: or atleast find one that i can post
[4:28:02 PM] Brian Francis: and it was proven wrong
[4:28:15 PM] Daltan Beach: If you give me a picture of you reading a map
[4:28:16 PM] Daltan Beach: or using a globe
[4:28:23 PM] Daltan Beach: Ill cry
[4:28:40 PM] Daltan Beach: [–]NeoDestiny 148 points 51 minutes ago
This is 100% conclusive. Really smart of the OP.
Here's the laymen's version if you're having trouble understanding -
Say you have a "real map" that is 1000x1000, and a "minimap" that is 100x100. This means that all of your clicks on the minimap are essentially multiplied by 10 to determine where they would fall on the real map. ie: clicking on 25x50 on the minimap would correspond to 250x500 on the real map, 46x89 would correspond to 460x890 on the real map, etc...etc...
According to Spades, he was clicking on the minimap to perform a lot of actions instead of scrolling into the fog of war to perform those same actions. The problem is that, during the replay, Spades screen is locked so that he must be clicking the minimap, but the clicks he's making are too precise to come from the minimap. Using our previous example, Spades is essentially claiming to be clicking a point like 252x582 on the minimap, which is impossible, as the closest we could get to that point is 25x58 or 26x59 on our minimap. Given the dimensions of the minimap, he is clicking with a precision that is impossible on the real map.
Clicks with that precision on the real map while the screen is locked means that one can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that Spades is maphacking.
[4:29:21 PM] Michael Francis: just take a picture of a globe next to your computer screen
[4:29:31 PM] Daltan Beach: thats perfect
[4:29:39 PM] Daltan Beach: thx spades' brother
[4:29:40 PM] Brian Francis: yeah then people on tl proved u can easily click those spots
[4:29:43 PM] Brian Francis: using minimap
[4:29:46 PM] Michael Francis: lol
[4:29:50 PM] Tito Santiago: rofl
[4:30:04 PM] Brian Francis: i dont own a globe
[4:30:11 PM] Michael Francis: how do i post on reddit
[4:30:14 PM] Michael Francis: "myth busted"
[4:30:25 PM] Tito Santiago: go find one
[4:30:34 PM] Tito Santiago: or like
[4:30:36 PM] Tito Santiago: stream
[4:30:44 PM] Tito Santiago: and while streaming open a map of the world on google maps
[4:30:50 PM] Daltan Beach: Let's accuse some pro of hacking
[4:30:53 PM] Daltan Beach: with no evidence
[4:30:54 PM] Tito Santiago: Lol
[4:30:57 PM] Daltan Beach: it'll be great
[4:31:02 PM] Daltan Beach: who has a lot of replays out
[4:31:05 PM] Daltan Beach: and we dont like
[4:31:27 PM] Michael Francis: lets accuse idra
[4:31:29 PM] Tito Santiago: hey daltan
[4:31:30 PM] Michael Francis: or catz
[4:31:33 PM] Tito Santiago: take that picture of catz
[4:31:39 PM] Tito Santiago: the judge one
[4:31:40 PM] Tito Santiago: and put
[4:31:53 PM] Michael Francis: i like how catz somehow knew all this information about the 'hack' mechanics
[4:31:54 PM] Tito Santiago: "Can't find a single note while singing, thinks he can find a hacker"
[4:31:59 PM] Tito Santiago: and post it on something
[4:31:59 PM] Michael Francis: like, oh if you right click into fog
[4:32:03 PM] Michael Francis: it doesn't lock
[4:32:15 PM] Michael Francis: but when your scrolling into the fog, shouldn't it lock before u ahve a chance to right click
[4:32:20 PM] Michael Francis: gg
[4:32:26 PM] Brian Francis: people have small brains
[4:32:32 PM] Tito Santiago: ^
[4:32:45 PM] Brian Francis: basically everything the hack does
[4:32:50 PM] Brian Francis: they cant prove i did any of it
[4:32:54 PM] Brian Francis: nor can they prove its possible
[4:33:01 PM] Brian Francis: because i do actions in these "camera lock" times
[4:33:05 PM] Michael Francis: basically your the best hacker in the world
[4:33:08 PM] Michael Francis: kids need to respect
[4:33:08 PM] Brian Francis: so people say I must have made my own private supe rhack
[4:33:12 PM] Tito Santiago: LOL
[4:33:12 PM] Brian Francis: or something
[4:33:19 PM] Michael Francis: undetectable
[4:33:21 PM] Brian Francis: they think this is swordfish
[4:33:23 PM] Brian Francis: or some shit
[4:33:31 PM] Michael Francis: since your a computer programmer
[4:33:42 PM] Tito Santiago: hahahah
[4:34:09 PM] Daltan Beach: terran 3/15 or some shit in GSL
[4:34:16 PM] Daltan Beach: fucking IMBA
[4:35:44 PM] Tito Santiago: lol

Now THAT sounds even more suspicious than before.
