Well he did hack in the past; so it is a good lesson in the sense that you should never hack, as people are more likely to accuse you of doing it in the future even if you aren't or there isn't conclusive evidence against you. If I remember correctly, Incontrol was saying on the latest state of the game that the community needs to take a much harder stance on hacking. Even if in this case it wasn't true, it may be justified in that light. | ||

This guy is completely clueless, EVERYTHING he does makes him seem more guilty Regardless of if he was innocent or guilty, leaving his team was the right decision. Why bite the hand that fed you by sticking it out on a year long contract and making the team "That Team with the fucking cheater on it" and himself "The guy who's so shameless that he's milking that poor fuck of a cheater's team"? It's noble if he's innocent, and a shrewd move if he's guilty and pretending to be innocent. It shows he's willing to keep whatever goodwill he's garnered with a team rather than piss it away when he's realized he's at the end of his rope. I can't say I feel for him, I think his replays were just about irrefutable, but leaving his team in the most amicable way possible should never be considered a bad thing. | ||

Sorry, but the magic scans were explained as a glitch in how replays record actions by Axeltoss. And not looking at the fog of war during the showmatch isn't conclusive. It's weird as hell, but enough to ruin a guy? I don't know ... | ||

Like money earned, days of vacation, time spent playing other games, time spent with girlfriends, CO2 footprint, excesive traveling, among others. Hasn't happened yet. Instead of activating the slippery slope argument to defend the murderers, shouldn't we cross those punative measures when they start becoming too intrusive, instead of becoming future infraction cops ala Minority Report? | ||

You don't leave *just* because of an accusation. You leave because the accusation leads to a trial which will uncover something. I would kind of like to see some closure on the case though. | ||

Regardless of whether I'm found “innocent” or “guilty” in the public eye, my reputation as a pro gamer is damaged severely. Can anyone explain to me what that thread did besides create 130 pages of non-sense in under 24 hours. What exactly did anyone do to damage his career? If it's just haters, then he needs to get over it. If he's innocent his career shouldn't be damaged at all. If the evidence is inconclusive his career shouldn't be damaged at all. If people jumped the gun again and complained to sponsors then those people need to get the fuck out. | ||

This is exactly what I'm thinking. WW is casting themselves in a negative light by continuing to back Spades on this. Now I'm not saying they have to throw him under the bus but they are clearly being blind to so pretty conclusive evidence of cheating. That comes off as a very questionable practice as a team. I hope this doesn't follow the team because of it. | ||

Why did Sangho quit BW when he didn't map-hack? Why are professionals fired from their careers based on hearsay and false accusations? No longer do we live in societies where people are innocent until proven guilty in the eyes of the public. As soon as that first accusation is brought out the crowd opinion instantly latches on to that and brands the accused guilty, without deciding before all information is brought onto the table. With instant media and many outlets for others to express opinions, people are easily caught up and believe incomplete, sometimes completely false, information and it spirals out of control. Spades being guilty or innocent won't ever clear his name in the public and that automatically makes him a risky investment for sponsors and teams. Whatever the outcome, Spade's professional career is most certainly ruined because of crusading and mob-mentality. People need to stop being so emotional over dumb shit, sit back, and wait for actual facts to come out. | ||
