[?] Spades hacking? - Page 72

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)

I just love how people keep asking Catz to open the APM tab to check on what hes doing while "screen locked", and still that is the thing he does not checks.


APM is average over a few seconds, I doubt it could be used to notice a major difference during screen locks.

You're not understanding anything that they're talking about if thats what you think.

We have multiple brackets generated in advance. Relax . (Kennigit) I just simply do not understand how it can be the time to play can be 22nd at 9:30 pm PST / midnight the 23rd at the same time. (GGzerg)

No, he did something that is actually impossible mechanics wise.

The more the CatZ stream goes on, the more technical evidence there is to support that Spadez is hacking. There would have to be an extraordinary, unparalleled series of unfortunate and unexplainable coincidences that are conspiring to frame him.

So 7 games out of how many Spades has played? Thousands.

I've played far fewer games than that and I'm pretty sure I could dig up more than 7 replays where I make the perfect blind counters to stuff and make weird army positioning.

This thread is a disgrace.

You're missing the fucking point. He allegedly cheated in a SHOWMATCH. FOR MONEY. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE. Ladder games fine, go cheat your ass off. ladder pts don't mean shit (maybe they do blizz is weird) but when you are playing for money using a hack... ............


First of all you're already assuming he's guilty based on situational evidence. Also, the showmatch wasn't for money. You should read more into the thread before making these posts.

I got a serious headache watching people try to market this whole mess for viewers clearly looking to make Spades look bad.

So for the record, WW hosted the showmatch, Spades is on the WW team, WW is looking into these accusations, WW will consult experts and WW will release a statement after a conclusion has been drawn.


Your credibility is on the line

Do you even play SC2?

Why would you scroll up then scan the mini-map?

Why not just scan the mini-map?

Well, while it's bad form to throw someone under the bus, I'm just going to do it because all this came out and I have a fact that actually matters.

Spades stream cheated during showmatches that he played while he lived with me at what was the Reign house. It's a carry over from the stream cheating that many Koreans do in the Korean prohouses (Both Spades and Artist have confirmed with me that Koreans frequently stream cheat in team leagues and showmatches against foreigners out of pride).

If ever I saw it happen when I was in the house, I would immediately try to stop them, but I know on occasion it still occured, most notably in a match Spades played against Gatored last year.

About maphacking, I have no idea and have no opinion on the matter other than either option wouldn't surprise me.

I would want to say though, that cheating occurs way more than people realize, and I actually would not be so hard on him for this evidence, even if it is true. Players better than Spades actively cheat, particularly stream cheat or simply ghosting, because of how easy it is.

Example - Leenock was over a player's shoulder at MLG Providence helping them during a game, giving them hints in Korean.

It's pretty common.
Why do I not feel shocked at all by this?

I really hope TL does post who the "OP" actually is.


WHY aren't we focusing on the koreans?


Because we need EVIDENCE.
People treated that post as ev for spades, though


On top of the replay analysis.

I'd like a good terran player to review all this, because I don't see any actual proof.


What do you define as actual proof though? Short of physically watching somebody load the hack, I don't think you can have what I believe you are referring to as "actual proof".

That being said, since the OP only has 1 post, this evidence should be reviewed


I'm new to TL. There are other posts saying that the fact that this post is OP's 1st takes away credibility from the post. Why is that?

Actually looking in fog, making strategic decisions (i.e. build decisions) that are not possible to infer from what he's scouted. So far, none of this has happened. Spades took so, so much damage from drops and so on that it's difficult to believe he was actually hacking. Either that or he's the worst hacker ever, and I don't really believe that.

If you click in the fog of war quickly and click back, it doesn't show up in first person view in the replay. First person camera isnt perfect; it doesn't record every single camera action of the player 100%. The scan was similar. It just wasn't recorded.

Are you listening at all? The hack scan isn't about the location on the map, it's about how physically he could have instructed the game to perform that task without hacking.

Personally I consider the Leenock accusation a MUCH bigger deal but I can understand why people consider it the nail in coffin for one and not other. If that post were all this thread is than no one would condemn Spades on heresay but its just something being piled on which for better or worse happens when an accusation like this comes out.

DAMN.

Here comes the racism. While I think it's a shame that koreans and other pros do this, I also don't blame them, but the environment they exist in.

Edit: That said, they need to get the FUCK out of our community. Leave Spades.
