[?] Spades hacking? - Page 5

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)

honestly you don't know the background of that comment. There was a big bm fight between Hwangsin and Spades, and spades only said the comment after a lot of egging on by hwangsin. and Spades said sorry almost instantly.

This community loves to witch hunt so much that its seriously annoying. Lets first take a deep breath and approach this rationally.

Thank you for the research, will watch the replays.


Hacking may give a MASSIVE advantage. But if you generally can make more units and get more econ up you can win straight out games even against a hacker, especially if you are not relying on a trick.

I've seen plenty of games where idra minimizes in the middle to talk with stream chat or w/e. So there's plenty of reasons somebody could have to not be doing anything with the camera just sitting there. The key is to see if anything is actually happening while the camera is just sitting there with no APM... like if his units are being micro'd but there's no APM.


You don't think un-siegeing a fortified position to go defend a base that you did not know was soon to be attacked is suspicious?

Several instances of this in the same game is not gosu game sense, it's pretty strong evidence to some sort of cheating.

That's a big giveaway to map hack... because at grandmaster level, if you don't even have the apm to micro your scouting scv, you should not be in GM. Period.


This too.


I'm sure if you watched replays of flash in BW you'd think shit he did was suspicious too. So sure, I think some of this stuff is suspicious, but none of it is conclusive.



Ok I realize you might not play at the level to see why things he does is hack opposed to game sense and other things, but any average-skilled player will see what he did/does as maphack. He has hacked in the past yet you give him the benefit of the doubt? Pathetic imo...

Spades /= Flash.

Also, Spades has a history of shady things like hacking. I'm not good enough to call whether it is hacking or not, but I think it's at the very least suspicious.

This times 1000. There's going to be irrational people going nuts over this but people assuming stuff without conclusive evidence is not cool.

Did anyone else watch the replays? I agree that there is a lot of circumctances to believe that's it happend only by chance, but i have to say a lot of the things you wrote in the post are exaggarated and reading too much into maphack but on the other hand some are really suspicious.

Ok so unlike 9/10 of these posts I have actually started watching these replays (And have a level of game understanding to scrutinize them.) but I have stopped. Because to me it seems highly likely he is using a third party program of some kind, if you just totally ignore the OP and watch the replays in an analytical way you might be surprised at how strange some of the things he does in game - the marines at watchtowers and these screen locks are the 2 main things that just slap me in the face with a WTF?

Watch any high level player, not even terran and just see how they move around the map with their camera. Spades doesn't look anywhere he doesn't have vision, EVER. Not even to move his scout, move his marines to/from watch towers - nothing.

Not that I'm defending his racist comments, but it's his history of being a hacker in that past that seem relevant to this. It's not necessarily true that "once a hacker, always a hacker", but it's a relatively good rough rule, especially with someone with Spades' personality, so it's not at all surprising to see him hacking again.

Seems like you have done a pretty thorough job researching this. Though be careful with bringing up stuff like below as evidence:

10:45 He gets 2 marines to send them to the xel'naga, however, his camera doesn't move to the center of the map, it gets blocked on his army.


It's not uncommon to use the minimap to send units to a certain area, thus not moving your camera while doing so really doesn't proof anything.

alright let's stop saying "disgusting if it's true" or "spades is shit" that doesn't add anything to this post. we need to approach this rationally and let's avoid the name-calling and such until we are sure it is true.

I give him the benefit of the doubt over a 1 post account any day of the week. This has nothing to do with my skill level, nice try bringing that into the conversation though. The things he does in these games are suspicious, nothing more. Anytime you actually look for suspicious behavior in games, you will find it. From bronze league to GM to bonjwa you will always find something that seems suspicious, so this is not enough to convict somebody of hacking.
