If anyone has more replays of him, please PM me. Thanks.

Good to hear you guys are aware of this issue. Is it possible you guys can just outright ban him from attending the event?

Blizzard needs to deal with this crap. This isn't Zack's fault, this is Blizzards fault. Hate the game, not the player.


Yeah, thing is that as long as there is a market for hacks they will exist no matter what the community and devs do(although I agree that Blizzard could be doing more about this.). Its moronic to blame the company and the game instead of the idiot that is commiting the crime itself....

Its definitively Zack's fault, he chose to hack, he chose to take up a spot from legit players, he chose to accept the spot. He is not someone trying to prove a point, he is a toolbad who decided to cheat in a videogame. Nothing more nothing else.


Guess you guys have never heard this quote:

The world is a dangerous place not because of people who do evil, but because of good people who look on and do nothing about it.
-- Albert Einstein


Evil people exist, pretending that their existence is the problem, is the problem! Instead the problem is not dealing with them correctly or not dealing with them at all. You even admit that as long as there is a market for hacks, people will use them. And thus, the problem isn't the hackers, the problem is when people don't deal with them.

Blizzard can't stop people from hacking, but Blizzard can punish them for doing it. And if Blizzard doesn't punish people for it, they are just as guilty as the hackers. We can't change what the hackers will do, but we can change how Blizzard will respond. That is why this isn't Zack's fault, the man is what he is, but Blizzard needs to step up to the plate and lay down the law. That is what Einstein was getting at and it is the only way to deal with the problems in the world.



Your interpretation seems very close minded and far from what Einstein most likely intended it to mean...
You are upset that people are trying to bring justice to this matter? Not Zacks fault? shame on you, prob one of the most foolish things i have ever read. It wasn't Bin Ladens fault either for the world trade centers cause the US should have come down on other convicted terrorists harder. Jesus man i honestly cant believe someone could say such a foolish thing

Seriously, I hope they kick him out. Maybe the MLG guys didn't know he was a maphacker? If that's the case, please kick out the hacker. Hackers are fucking scumbags.

for all those attending the event, how about you all mess/troll him so that he feels bad and/or see what his real life attitude is towards his hacking ^^ (so that you guys can have fun in a safe manner while also possibly making him even less reputable if his real life attitude is also terrible)

The saddest part is that I predicted this kind of thing happening in the Impa thread...


There is just nothing Blizzard can really do to stop it. I mean they can ban the people once they catch them but thats about it.

-APM Skyrocketing to 550~ish in battles. Please show me replays of all the high level pros in SC2 that get this high.


Is APM Skyrocketing a known indicator of hacking? Because a couple days ago I played this guy who's APM went up to over 1000 several times, and when I viewed his camera he wasn't really doing anything. It was a ZvZ and I won in the early game, so it's not like it would have helped him too much.

At the time I thought it was a glitch with the replay or something, I"ll have to look out for this in the future though.

Honestly , I hope he goes, brings his hacks and tears up the place. It would be so blatant that blizzard has to pay more attention to hack reports. I'm quite curious what would happen when one of his games is casted and he uses the blink-hack.

That's a very narrow minded interpretation....
but neither hackers nor criminals should simply be accepted as if they are doing something reasonable.


It isn't about accepting criminals as if they are doing something reasonable. It is about accepting the fact that people who do unreasonable things exist.

And when you accept the fact they exist, you can deal with them. EDIT: In the lines below you can see evidence that Blizzard isn't accepting the fact that Zack as a hacker exists.

You don't understand what I've written. I am not upset that people are trying to bring justice to the matter. Zack is who he is, you can't blame him for being himself and that goes back to what I said to MrCash. You have to accept the fact people like Zack exist, and they are who they are. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't act to stop Zack from being himself. And that is what Blizzard needs to do, stop the hackers.

Most obvious: blink micro with all units selected. Get out

I was talking to HRGZack earlier today about this.

From what he tells me, Blizzard has emailed him concerning his safety from attacks at the event haha

Meaning Blizzard knows about this thread, knows about the replays, but choosing to continue on.

Great. That's fantastic. What legitimacy does TL's opinion have now if Blizzard is focusing on the TL community threatening people with violence / force. This is exactly what I was saying about community integrity.

LOL that's actually good news. So they DO see these threads...? or what? well I'm guessing that there's so many blizz employees, some of them have got to be users of TL

Also, it may just mean that they don't think he hacked. But it's probably not that. Probably some other reason =/


Or Zack is lying, which I think is likely.

Blizzard is utmost concerned about the SECURITY of an event, if they don't even have that basis how can they monitor competitive play.

He says that Blizzard can't ban him until there is 100% evidence of him hacking, meaning if warden can't see it, blizzard won't ban it.

Stuff like godlike blink micro can be "passed off" as just being glitches in the coding of the replay etc etc.

He's not worried at all about getting himself banned, even after all this attention. In fact he's enjoying the attention lol, although disappointed he doesn't have 200 pages like Spade's thread.

This is why i hate online everything. Whether it's lag or stream cheating or hacking i have never been able to take an online result seriously. Yet here we have tournament organisers relying on online results leading to actual money being spent based on these results.

It's a farce.

That's also why i always loved the shit out of the MLG open bracket and the GSL code a qualifiers. Until you win something there, you've earned nothing. It's perfect. But it's 2012 and everyone wants to do everything online, and here we are. (y)

I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about they fact that they know what people think of think, meaning they have access to the information in this thread, but are still inviting him to this event.

Well it's possible to reach that APM, by binding left click to the scroll wheel and scrolling. It's only useful to spam infested terrans and ghost snipes or you could just use it to inflate your apm.

Wow really? That's interesting. I guess they are really going for the innocent until proven guilty thing. Not that that's a bad thing.

I mean, yeah I guess there could be glitches. I'm not a programmer though so I wouldn't know much.


Oh I see, the reason why Impa was banned was cus he was blatantly streaming his hacks.
