[?] Spades hacking? - Page 76

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)

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.

..................

Isn't this much more serious than this Spades scandal? o_O

Only because Leenock is much more relevant lol. But I agree.

What's your defense for sending an SCV and not look at it when scouting?

How did you know he expanded? You don't lead with your tanks not knowing he doesn't have any of his own. You can't defend this. This isn't even Diamond level of play. This is blatant map-hacking.

exactly this really puts all lan competitions results into question. why aren't ppl more focused on this


In the fashion of the Mod Note on top, you need overwhelming evidence to damn someone. No player or organization is going to question the legitimacy of the players who bring in viewers and numbers for the industry if they aren't absolutely certain, other wise those ever so important korean players will be offended and not participate outside Korea, and those players and organizations will be ridiculed.


that wouldn't happen because the western scene is basically keeping sc2 alive. In korean there is only the gsl

Before, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. However, now it's obvious that he was hacking. The scan thing coupled with the fact that his camera stays out of the fog of war at all times. That's hacking.

Anyway, that scv saw everything it needed ( the gas ). Catz is on a witch hunt

Illusion, I never thought I would see this out of you


So your defense for Spades not hacking in this situation is because, as a GM player, he has the multitasking of a silver player?


A high level player will always just micro their scout just to make sure nothing kills it and to see any hidden buildings.
How does it feel knowing you wasted another 3 seconds of your life reading this again?

lol, it's pretty blatant if you're actually competent at the game -_-


YES! This fucking this, THIS X10000000000.

Yeah minimap does exist. But imagine NEVER going through a fog of war in a game and 100% using the Minimap for EVERY little detail click, etc etc...

If you play the game you understand that this is Hacks.

LOL. As a Korean American let me tell you something right now: Koreans are EASILY offended. ESPECIALLY by Westerners.

Yeah, this sounds like a crock of bullshit. If you go looking for maphacking obviously you'll find it, especially with the way the fp camera is setup. All the "evidence" of him hacking is inconclusive and fails to explain:
1) Why would he hack here, for nothing? When he is a pro player with everything on the line, why would he risk that with for no reward?
2) If he was map hacking, how the fuck does he lose? It doesn't make any sense, he should have easily been able to win but he doesn't. He'd have to be the worse map hacker in the history of the game; he has experience at it he should at least be decent. You people are spending too much time focusing on things he accidently gets right and not enough time on all the shit he misses that actually costs him the match.
3) Who is the op? Why should I lend any credence whatsoever to the accusations of a 1 post random? He hasn't posted since this thread went up, whats he doing?

Exactly right, one of the few clearly thought out points in the thread.

How does he know he was giving hints in korean? Does this dude even speak korean?

This pitch-fork shit is already enough don't get koreans involved because some guy said he saw leenock talking to some dude in korean "giving him hints" lol

Now for people believe that spades isnt cheating, watch the same replays from lucifrons point of view and find "fishy" spots and it wont even be 1/5 of the amount spades has in 1 game

It's pretty impossible to keep your camera out of the fog of war at all times.
It's cool to love to win, but it's better to hate to lose.

Are you serious? Even when you let your scout leave their base without looking, you never look afterwards to see what you saw? Really?

Oh, so a guy that was once top 1 GM on NA is at the same level as you. Good to know that he sucks.

They've literally said, people in silver league won't understand, but if you're GM you will. Now, I'm not GM, but I do know they have much faster APM than either of us usually, so they should be able to keep up with the "simple stuff". Why would a pro not be able to keep up with the simple stuff...
