This is not the place to argue whether or not spades hacked, do that in the relevant thread please.

(this is in effect page 10 onward)

Its hard to go against Catz and all the pro players who decided to chime in (most of them believe he maphacked or stream cheated). I didn't watch the replays but based on trusted sources, it is very likely that he did indeed hack. If so, he should never be allowed to play this game professionally again. Especially because these accusations are made over replays from a show match.

Well, with the sportsman example, you needed to be tested for doping. Not have a bunch of nerds throw wild accusations at someone on a internet forum.

Regardless of the conclusion on his "maphacking", it's so fucking pathetic that his career ended because of ONE person with some unproven theories. Bad on TL's part as well, as they should have closed the thread right away.
Staying away from this site for a long time, this is getting too stupid and childish, really.


One way of not letting one thread ruin your career is to not quit your team within 24 hours of said thread being posted.

He didn't have a choice. It doesn't matter anymore if he's guilty or innocent; his reputation is stained, and it would be PR suicide for any team to associate with him at this point, especially with it being impossible to come up with a definitive conclusion. If he didn't step down, WW would have fired him.

True, very true.
But his reputation was already fucked, as everyone has said...because of a single thread from someone unknown.


I think if he wouldve came in that thread and said "ahahahahhahaha good thread bro, im going to ladder" and never said anything else that he wouldve been better.

From now on, since e-Sports is a much bigger thing, we can't tolerate hackers at all, and we can't forgive players. We have to make it clear that in each action lies consequences.

I completely agree, if he has any respect for the game, he will admit his wrong doings.

Want to know one reason why some people dont admit things? Because they didnt do them. Spades hasn't been given a fair chance to prove he is innocent and likely wont unless another pro player really goes out of his way to analyse games and find guilt or innocence.

Being innocent or not is irrelevant: I'm quite disappointed in the way things went and the people contributing nothing but hatred for suspects; being civilised is apparently of no value to those people..

So you want him to react like some 13 year old kid? I hope he is guilty or this community just destroyed someones life.

Catz, drewbie, illusion, and TTI went way out of their way to analyse the games, and they all decided that he did hack. I dont know what else you're looking for

Did you watch Catz's stream? The Root player watched the replays to determine for themselves, they were so confidnet that he map hacked that they would risk their names to prove that to 6k others. Imagine if he is proven not guilty how bad that would be for Drewbie, Catz, TT1, Illusion. They wouldnt have done that broadcast had they not been certain.He did it.

Disappointing outcome, I always hate to see people's reputation's crushed without 100% solid proof. I feel sorry for Spades, as a person and esports guy.

Elbow bump to spades, hope you get things on track soon.

As a fellow MVP fan, I feel i am required to tell you that he hacked and we cant let him be around the scene anymore, it had to be done. MVP Fighting!

I guess when you lose your hard worked for job because of one internet thread you will have the same opinion as this?


Also to the other person; I noticed various pros like Nericho? who questioned the legitmacy of the claims. I also saw TT1 who you quoted say that there needs to be a much bigger sample size to analyze or it isn't fair.

Yes except leagues do the testing in sports. We do not have a body of people who decide who hacks or uses substances like Adderall. The community has been the voice on this subject.
