Guys, this is the closest you'll ever get to proving someone hacks. I sure hope a lot of you "innocent until guilty" people wise up and learn how hackers are usually dealt with. You can almost never 100% prove somebody is hacking, but when bullshit happens like has happened in all 7 showmatches, you can determine that he hacks based on that alone. This is how hackers are caught, and this is how hackers will be caught in the future. And anyone saying there wasn't any compelling proof has probably not watched any of the replays or stream analyses or has a really poor grasp of the game. | ||

Why even bother to give him the benefit of the doubt or question que fabulous and effective biased methods of Catz & co? Internet justice is the future and clearly the only way to go. What a fucking lovely community. sigh, i'm really fucking tired of hearing about the biased methods of catz. They all stated Spades is a nice guy, he's their friend. The reason they seemed biased on stream is because they had ALL watched the replays multiple times AND had their own time stamps that weren't in the OP. Jesus, they didn't start out biased, their conclusions were that he hacked. They then presented this on stream. It's not like they were out to get him from the start, unless this is conspiracy. | ||

GL EG felt it was bad and so did most of the community. | ||

Bias would be analyzing the replays and saying hes obviously hacking before they look at the evidence. Wake up please. Mob mentality and information cascade. Look them up. How do you think riots work? | ||

That's not something EG can discredit. WW backed Spades saying that he didn't do it, completely different. Anyways, as the mod note says this isn't the place to discuss whether or not he did it, I'll leave out my opinion and just say this: cya | ||

Hope Spades can do well in the WCS to show he is a skilled player and somewhat redeems himself in the eyes of the people doubting him | ||

The ones who doubt him, did so before this incident and will definitely ever do after it. | ||

To sum it up for you, all the replays he posted he is playing legit and no one was trying to say other wise. The train of thought is he maphacked for this in particular show match, and there is heavy heavy evidence to support that. To me the most compelling is the following: In his show match games[7 of them] he regularly: 1. Sends his scv to scout and goes in the base then out of the base with out ever looking at the scv[or scouting the second gas] or buildings. [Who would EVER send a scv in and out of a base and not look at any buildings...] 2. Never once, EVER no matter what looks into the fog of war and has frequent 5-10 second screen pauces. 3. Does very odd scans where the only way you can do them is the mini-map. This is all with out including the very very odd moves.. such as stimming and running back all his marines 1 inch away from siege with out ever seeing the tanks. There is dozens of very odd stuff like this in a small Bo7 when he very rarely does that kinda stuff in a 100 game sample. Compare this to his normal ladder games where: 1. He ALWAYS checks his SCV and scouts both gas.. 2. He ALWAYS looks into the fog of war like 10+ times a game.. 3. Scans 100% different [looking into fog of war] every single game... I find it rather odd you made that huge post[lots of effort] with out even realizing no one thought he hacked in the replays he posted him self. This should be a must-read... for all those who haven't watch CatZ & Co's analysis and haven't followed this whole story from the start. This is hardly a witch hunt, but a careful dissection of his replays which showed beyond a reasonable doubt that he was map hacking. | ||

GL so naive. its standard PR practice to announce that a player, or any employee for that matter, has left an organization on his/her own volition when in fact they were simply let go/fired. this is more than likely what happened here, and more than likely what happened with Destiny when "he decided to leave Quantic to not tarnish their reputation" | ||

I've noticed a odd amount of the users totally shitting on Spades consisted of users who bitch all the time in balance discussions. Hopefully, next time another player is thrown under the bus blizzard can announce another patch so the idiots who are posting can be slimmed down to the regular squabbling over who's races dick is bigger than the others. Spades, you'll likely not read this, but you were a damn good terran and a good up and coming player, my personal advice would be to simply forget the haters, and take the next 6months to just play and improve, then come back to the scene... But I understand how difficult and betrayed you probably feel. Goodluck in your future, preferably pick a game without such an immature audience next time you want to go pro though... Speaking of which, I now find it mildly ironic Nony mentioned how mature (age wise) are community was on SOTG, it doesn't seem to correlate with how we act. How betrayed he probably feels? The guy was caught maphacking in brood war... was extremely adamant that he never did it and played victim for two years even though TeamLiquid had hard evidence on him cheating. Finally decided to apologize by PM'ing TL mods when he decided to go pro in SC2 because he most likely realized that he would've probably been continued to be blacklisted by the community otherwise. Here, his ex-manager and ex-teammate claim that he has streamcheated. He calls both of them liars and plays victim ("World is out to get me") once again. Just what motivation would those guys have completely fabricating something out of thin air? Just who should be feeling betrayed here? | ||

He will attempt to play exclusively through the mini map to disprove these theories saying "SEE I ALWAYS PLAY LIKE THIS, EVEN AT LANS!" and get smashed. | ||
