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)

He pretty much had to leave after the thread. Bit unfortunate he got destroyed like he did in the way he did but nothing much to be done about it now, regardless of guilt or innocence the damage has been done. I never really followed him or WW but regardless of who it is it sucks when stuff like this happens =(

Don't you think he had enough chances? He already cheated in BW, I don't even understand why all the BW cheaters got a second chance with SC2 at all.


Ok.. Well I haven't been following spades a total load, Ignore what I said then lul

His only achievements was in 2010. Explains it

lol You need to get your understanding beyond the high school level. He WOULD leave even if he was innocent. In fact it salvages his reputation slightly with other teams if he can prove innocence because he put the team before his own self.

Never understood why any known cheater in online games is given another competetive chance. And no I don't care which big time name from any game imaginable you out "shouldn't he be allowed to play?!", if he cheated before, then my stance would be, no he should not.

There are after all, still people who never cheated.

i disagree with both of you: you can go case-by-case and find those that have really reformed themselves.

TT1 and Haypro to name the best examples.

Even before this i wouldnt say spades was reformed; it was obvious from his stream cheating ~6mo ago hes the same scum. So he didnt deserve a 2nd chance.

I believe case-by-case is the best way.

But no other team is going to want him with the situation left as is. Would be huge risk with very, very little chance for reward.

I can't judge him on the accusations, from all accounts it is true. I can judge him by his character...

And so far he's shown nothing but passive-aggressive cowardice. Making it appear like he was the one betrayed or something..

I feel betrayed. WE should feel betrayed.

However, I think it's best if we leave this to go away, and we move on. He's gone, let this act as a deterrence to any potential professional players who hack or anyone that thinks of hacking.

We gonna find you.

If Spades is actually innocent, his attitude doesn't make much sense. He basically keeps saying "Guilty or not, this severely damages my image and my career". I fail to see how it's so damaging if he's proven innocent in the end. That sort of attitude only serves to contribute toward suspicions that he's guilty.

I wish we had a council of reputable players to look at the replays and come to a conclusion, because right now, its not confirmed. If Morrow, Nony, and say, Artosis took the time to look at it together, I would believe in their consensus.

Every time a guy leaves his team on his own, and the team declares publicly that he did left on his own, people need to understand that there is actually a good chance that the team just fired the guy and they agreed to a decent PR statement beforehand for both to not lose face. It was probably the case for Destiny, and it's even more likely the case here. No, poor Spade didn't decide to bear the "burden" alone, and didn't honorably protect his team's reputation from the aftermaths...His team found out that he was hacking, and fired him with a PR statement kind enough to not destroy him completely. That's what most likely happened, don't be so naive as to think there remains an ounce of honor in Spades. I think we at least know by now that he's not the most honorable guy out there...

He already lost his spot on his team.. how is this not damaging if he is innocent? Let alone the fact that plenty of people will never believe him even with proof of innocence.

Keep in mind guys we have definitive evidence of Spades stream cheating within the last few months, so really even if he is proven innocent of hacking, we still know he HAS been stream cheating. But I agree, his reputation will still be severely damaged. There are some people who still want Casey Anthony dead, but she has long since been proven innocent. Regardless this will leave many haters of Spades.

I still do not believe Haypro hacked. Did he actually admit it? I haven't seen a single suspicious action made by him. I find his explanation more likely then hacking.

If he could counter these good pieces of evidence against him and prove his innocence I'm sure the team would gladly let him back in. But of course for now he has to leave either way, or at least just say he's left. If he was innocent the team could still be paying him and then be ready to let him back in when everything's settled.

Catz, Illusion and TT1 did this on stream.
Well, I guess you are talking about more reputable than that?

Well he's already handled it badly to begin with. And the way I see it, the onus is upon his team/anyone else who took punitive action to set things right if he's proven innocent, so there's nothing permanently damaging.

Spade haters? Is there anything to love?

Let's say he is proven innocent on this hacking issue. It has been proven that he have hacked in BW, and stream cheated in SC2.

Honestly, I cannot understand this guy gets so much support. Obviously he is just a bad player and a bad sport. It's only good that he gets removed from the scene.

Love all the talk about "Man up" or taking the "coward's way out." - It's a video game, not a murder trial or a fight to the death. Holy shit.

Very sad. The evidence was not concrete enough to condemn him as far as I'm concerned.

I just hope that he really was guilty for the sake of everyone posting "serves him right" in this thread. If he's not, it's a hell of a thing to completely ruin someone's career because you made a snap judgement.
