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) | ||

It seemed like the center of spades' scan was even further away, it most definitely lookedlike it was a minimap scan. and wouldn't be possible when he was simultaneously moving his mouse up to scroll the screen upward and then somehow down to the minimap perfectly and simultaneously not move the camera | ||

Yes I agree, it isn't definate anything, unless we compare them directly. I just tried to recreate it based on what i saw on CatZ' stream. So if anyone has the replay please check and see if it's so far off it can't be a standard scan. | ||

It just seems so silly to broadcast online tournaments live with no delay when there's money involved. Diamond: This is probably the single largest accusation ever in SC2 history, I hope it has no basis (Korean stream cheating in pro houses) because if true stands to shake the entire foundation of Starcraft. I asked people I know in Korea and some confirmed it but not people I would trust enough to say it's a 100% thing, but the person I trust the most in Korea told me they has not seen it but believes it. The general consensus is that if you build a system that allows it than it's your fault. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not take this as confirming it, it is far from it, but now would be a good time for someone to look into this, both from the journalism side and that ever useless SC2CON or w/e it's called now. Again I really hope this is not true about the Korean houses, as well as Leenock. Spades is really the smallest revelation in that I feel..... tgun: I've just asked a few people and they've also confirmed that stream cheating is pretty common. | ||

If so then please apply what ever measures you need to stop hacking in your tournament. If not then you have no business determining who is a cheater or not. | ||

I think the camera lock and these "magic scans" are rather conclusive though. I would tend to agree, but I don't know anything about the replay being not perfectly in sync. That's also why I think "Innocent until proven guilty" is being misused, and should not be taken literally. Even in court, DNA evidence is taken, because it's 99.9999% good. What about the .0001%? Nobody cares- "proven" just means beyond a reasonable doubt. Same thing here. Nobody can literally prove he cheated, but to demand that is ridiculous. | ||

Why don't we watch his streamed games and see if he plays the same then compare results to the accused hacked matches. I also, and I'm sure the pro's feel the same way, encourage anyone that might have a suspicious replay to come forward. Livelihood's are at stake here and we must reach a conclusion quickly, we don't want a smear/bullying campaign on our hands. Wouldn't be hard to turn it "off" and play normally. | ||

Consensus says that it's impossible, but we all know how reliable consensus is -- so howabout we try to empirically verify the truth of it? So: let's load up a game vs. AI and try to recreate a "Magic Scan." If we can reproduce it without hacks, we can throw this evidence out. If not, it's still on the table. I didn't read every page of the thread, but this seems to be in the vein of what Nerchio tried to do. Let's follow his example -- the abundance of induction-based and lack of logic-based ethics in this debate is disturbing. I'm thinking about doing it myself, but the question is also why? I play terran, over 2500 games and never in my life have I scanned without a reason for scanning. Following that, I have to think about scanning before I scan. And following that, and perhaps this is a stretch, but I have never scrolled my screen in a direction away from the minimap if I plan to use a minimap scan. His defense (or at least one of them)was that he was suffering mouse problems, in which case, if we were to believe that, there wouldn't be a reason to test it. Even if no one can produce a magic scan, surely someone with a malfunctioning mouse can. Someone people are also claiming the possibility of a 4:3 resolution. Possible, but 1) i'd like to see him confirm if he is using such a resolution, and then 2) someone with a similar resolution can try to produce it (although this has the same faults as the malfunction mouse argument). | ||

If Blizzard wishes to protect the integrity of its ladder it can do so with bans or demotions based on whatever evidence it wants (see the ToS if you like) but we don't have the right or even the responsibility to help them find and accuse these violations. If a tournament wishes to eliminate misconduct in its games it can and may set the conditions under which a player may be disqualified. Again we don't have any right or responsibility to participate in deciding these issues. There is a reason why courts do not conduct hearings on public internet forums. This and all threads like these should be IMMEDIATELY CLOSED due to the damage they do to the player regardless of whether they were in the wrong or not. Spades does not deserve his name dragged through the mud EVEN IF HE IS GUILTY!!!! Maphacking is at best a "crime" of an insecure person whose insecurities are already sufficient punishment. GL HF Spades. I strongly disagree. We, the community, have a responsibility to police ourselves and weed out the bad apples. We do not and should not delegate this responsibility to anyone. If anything, Blizzard should be helping us. | ||

I see what you're saying, but as with real sports, these things usually eventually come out and often with catastrophic consequences. Keeping this stuff beneath the surface may not do the community any favors in the future, because if not revealed these things fester, grow, and get worse. (Again, this is not on you to reveal) | ||

i saw the game against avilo live on stream... its just obvious that hes a hacker and just rediculous that hes still denying it... any experienced terran saves scans when he lost airsuperiority, thats nothing you can explain with cutting corners and gamesense, that is bullshit, if ur not doing it ur not a good player and therefore u dont play the level spades plays or ur a hacker | ||
