Map hack is one of the big reasons that SC2 is dying.
Blizzard isn't just spending the right amount of resources to improve their customer satisfaction and esports possibility of SC2

They are blind-sighted, spending millions dollars on WCS which is a huge failure compared to amount of money they put on

Instead, why don't they work on the FUNDAMENTALS? Like.. actually having a legitimate game that is fair for everyone?

This is why failure of SC2 is inevitable, blizzard is just DUMB. I don't want it to be dumb. But truth of the matter is, blizzard is ran by hopeless people that don't prioritize what's important and what's not.

if u guys wanna prove or achieve something u should be more objective (like posting reps + explanation or w/e)

i cannot jugde how obvious a hacker can be determined by playing him and thereby getting the feeling that it must be the only solution.

but if u dont want to let it look like a witch hunt u have to get more concrete myb?

If you dont hack, Imbatoss, why don't you just upload your last 50 games as replays - unfiltered. That way you could kind of proof, that you are not maphacking - not 100% of course, but it would show, that you are willing to proof yourself, instead of just promoting your twitch channel.

If you hack, pls get of SC2. If you do not, I whish all the best

I just had a look at your twitch channel which u can find a single VOD so far.DIdn't u say that you're playing the same builds every game ? Doesn't seem like it for me tbh. Ah,and what kind of build is it u played there? Seemed just kinda random,but it worked out in that game,what a surprise :O

Such noobs, need to maphack to win and feel better about themselves.
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

Hm. Can't people who've played vs him upload all the suspicious vods, post them here and then the community can go through them and see if the case is strengthened or weakened by them? Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, but if Blizzard isn't doing anything about it then certainly they'll get banned by leagues.

not quite sure what i should think about imbatoss... he was a low gm player in WoL, who only all-inned 1 base or 2 base. never thought he would maphack... now he is top 16 and has a 72% winrate in PvP although his mechanics didnt really improve.
so either he gained an INSANE gameknowledge or hes maphacking.

I also think that ImbaToss is hacking. He always wins PvP (very coinflippy matchup with luck involved). A lots of blind countering and I agree his micro is crap. I turned off replay saving but I will search for games vs him to upload here.

maphack is fog of war removal right?

i think in old BW custom map, a way to kick maphackers, was to put a cannon owned by players on the low ground, and then a hostile computer controlled building on the high ground

so if a player has a maphack, their cannon will automatically attack the hostile computer building (which normal players should not see)

then the custom map kicks that player for maphacking

Have maphacks become more advanced to bypass that?

I mean it was quite simple back in the day...to do that in that custom map

All Blizzard has to do is put something like that in every ladder map, and auto kicks if detects maphack from a player

Good night everyone,

someone asked if Imbatoss ever went to an offlinetournament. And I can say definetly no.

As it seems Imbatoss is from munich , because he played for Munich in the BCON-Clash. there were explicit rules , that only munich players or munich barcraft visitors are allowed to participate at the BCON-Clash. As I am from munich myself I really can't say that he has ever been to such an event.
And something I should mention ist the MST- Munich Starcraft Tournament. It's a pretty big LAN in Munich and players like AcRo regurlarly participate at it. Someone like Imbatoss should actually participate at such an event, because he is TOP 20 GM right?
So it's pretty suspicious non the less..
