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)

I feel like he's just trying to be a martyr. Whether he's innocent or guilty he probably feels like his lackluster career is best ended in a way where he stands to gain some potential sympathy, rather than just being entirely forgotten as he otherwise would be.

Spades, no1 wants you quit, worst case scenario is you made a mistake and hopefully admit to it and grow some balls your still going to do well.


I want him out. I'm tired of all this hacking. It's not even a question of a second chance. He already got that. At this point it's ridiculous, and he should get away from this scene and stay away.


I fully agree, no more chances for him.

At first you deny any cheating. If this isn't possible anymore you jump onto the pity train to get enough supporters, that your case is reconsidered. And sooner or later, we will have a 100% evidence and everyone who kept defending him feels like a fool (or might just be one).
I have no Idea how people can try to blandish maphacking and defend it beyong every reason. The evidences are there (in the other thread), and they are very clear. So just accept it. A growing proportion of cheaters is a real threat to the growth and stability of esports. So we have to fight Hacks and Cheats as hard as we can!


Bullshit.

I got called a cheater a bunch in CounterStrike. None whatsoever.

My first word? Deny I cheated. Why? Because I didn't. But all the evidence against me showed I was hacking. Well no shit, who keeps records of players not hacking? But there it was, plain as day, replays of me hacking.

Oh look, how he knew exactly where you were.

Oh look, how he died on purpose because he knew he was being suspicious.

Oh look, how he can do a stupidly bold move and get away with it.

There's a technique called priming. If I say, go look for this right here, chances are you'll find this right there. But would you have otherwise? That's why you have unbiased, unopinionated juries. No rape victim in a rape case. That's why there's a judge to moderate the prosecution. So you don't have biased crap thrown around like it's the truth. Know the victim? Then it's your testimony on your life. Not scared of perjury? You should be. Evidence, not hearsay. And innocent until proven guilty. And if even one juror disagrees with a conviction, you start all fucking over again until it's unanimous.

This is ridiculous and you should be ashamed of yourselves.
There is no one like you in the universe.

Good riddance i still cant imagine why this guy has anyone defending him since hes been caught map hacking before in BW and now with the latest episode... he should be blacklisted from everything related to the pro scene imo...

People defending him do you actually play the game? When was the last time you watched your own replay? sure everybody's play is different but no everyone's play is as blatantly dodgy as Spade's + Him cheating in the past does not help him defend his case.
I hope the what you people call "mob justice" ruins this guy, seeing theres nothing else that actually deals with hackers at the moment.

Guys you gotta understand there's different types of hackers out there, there's people (newbs) that hack somewhere in their lower leagues or team games or whatever they don't actually realize how much the game means to some people or of the size of the community nor they care about esports in general.

Then every once in awhile you get an avg players who is obviously lacking in some aspects of their play yet their ambition for fame far surpasses what they are willing to put in, since they ok players already its alot easier for them to hide their hacks (Spades not doing a good job at it too LOL)

Dude chose the perfect Nickname, seems he loves to dig his own graves...

Ashamed of what? Did you watch the replays? If something is suspicious it needs to be brought up. Something common with a lot of map hackers is the camera locks when he's looking into the fog of war. Compare it to that specific game to a random ladder map and you can see huge differences in game play.

I'm not gonna say if he's guilty or not, but a lot of the evidence provided against him is pretty huge.

Why because people have a difference of opinion to you? Some people believed he was hacking others did not.

Back on topic of this thread. Good luck to all of those involved shame that this partnership had to end this way.

I'm sick of these posts, because they're always some sort of "I'm tired of this community" posts. It's good to have different opinions, but at least give reasons why instead of just saying this community sucks.

"It's unlikely that I'll receive invites to major tournaments or showmatches as long as this matter is unresolved and I don't see any way for this to be resolved."

I read that as: "There's no way I'll ever admit i'm guilty and there's no way anyone will ever prove me innocent because I'm guilty.. therefore this will never get resolved."

I'm just going to repost this from the other page:

I really find Spades posts incredibly self-defeatist. Instead of trying to be positive and forgive and forget as to be the bigger man if he did not hack, he keeps making it seem as if this has done irreversible damage because of these simple accusations. Come on, people don't lose their entire careers by mudslinging without any decent proof. That is what makes Spades seem incredibly suspicious to me, especially because he has been caught maphacking before. Instead of trying to be as upfront about it as possible, and explain every single accusation thrown at him right back in the accuser's face, he is trying to hide and be as isolated as possible from the situation. After all, if he did not hack and is not a hacker, then wouldn't someone such as a PROGAMER have the balls to cement a defense stronger than what any no namer - especially one with just one post- has to say? After all, he has all the resources(his replays). Wouldn't it give him good publicity to do so? Wouldn't it show his sponsors that he is able to stand up for himself and control situations regarding him? Wouldn't it gain some admiration and fans? The fact that he is trying to garner empathy in such a way that tries to completely ignore the accusations made at him raises some eyebrows.The camera locks still have not been answered directly by him with clarity. His claims are all extremely vague and dodge the subject, claiming "chance", "luck", and "randomness" as his only solid defenses.

I've yet to see the nay sayers provide a plausible explanation for the fog of war discrepancies between the showmatch games and random ladder games. Even the scouting worker. Blisse and others, please explain how its plausible that Spades would move his scouting worker around by the minimap only in the showmatch games but not in his ladder games.

You should stick to the evidence in the replays rather than what Spades says. You have no reason to interpret his words that way rather than "I know I'm innocent but the community will never be convinced otherwise."

Yeah pretty much agree with this.

If you didn't hack stop victimizing yourself and taking these allegations so seriously.
If you decided to hack man the fuck up and just say it.

Frankly the fact that he hasn't really made the right move for either scenario makes me believe he's doing the latter (and should say it).

Considering how huge the TL community is and the amount of people that defend Spades, makes me wonder how many hackers have TL accounts and are regular posters, it would be a lie to say theres none.

Just to be a devil's advocate, this might actually be the rection of someone

1. who's been through this shitstorm before
2. wants to avoid it.

I mean, if he's still scarred from before, I'd think he'd want to avoid the public eye. Makes sense no?

Of course, we could also believe that he was being non self-preserving, kind, thoughtful and decided to leave the team to protect their image rather than run to them for protection unlike the rest of us peons would have been in a similar situation.

Agree with 100% I'd like to know what are people's explanations for this.
