Just to be clear, it was an attack ground, that lined up perfectly with the mine. He didn't actually target the mine.

I also thought Avilo was going to post the replay of the WCS game but.... this is enough evidence of a somewhat reasonable map hack. You would think people would be more careful and not click stuff under fog of war and for god sakes, burried, but sometimes when people get tilted all they want to do is win...

Seriously tho, hackers were gone for a week after the patch and that was the only time ever there was no hacks. I don't understand how people still belive Blizzard is doing their job after all these years.

I'm a low masters player and sometimes you just play those games where the opponent plays flawlessly and it's suspicious as hell.

Probably after getting banned a few times, most hackers just take care to not leave obvious proof of cheating.

Patch 3.0 in Oct2015 broke all the existing public maphacks beyond repair. Daed gam meant no one was interested in putting in the time to figure out how to decrypt and build another from scratch. There has been no evidence of maphack shown since then including TL's hacker thread.

i was very ready to say a lot of these moves would be circumstantial and part of chance but definitely some semi fishy stuff in this one - not necessarily enough to say 100% but super odd play.
hope this won't be a thing because it's been so good to play on the hack free scene since 3.0

I don't know how the evidence could be any stronger. Maybe you just skimmed the video? Try 3:19 in the video where he puts 2 lings exactly to 2 different widow mine locations. Or near the end, where he keeps looking at my army location in the fog of war.

Nah thats 100% map hack I say. The queen movement at the end is a give away for sure.

edit: plus the fact he kept looking at units through fog of war, he doesn't even try to hide it

So many suspicious and on point moves, especially all his queens to the extreme edge to try and catch the ravens that were in the fog of war.

I know you defend everything Zerg to the hilt against all logic, but come on a map hacker?

There is no doubt in this if you watch the whole video, this is %101 maphack. Since legacy came out i've never got suspicious of any of my opponents. Now the paranoia comes back... This is really unhealthy for the scene , even more than mass raven

Nice work OP. I think the video is pretty on point and seems like you may have caught a maphacker. Hopefully, there are a lot more replays that can be found so that it can be confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Ya, I found more of his replays here: http://sc2replaystats.com/player/1150950. Watched 2 and they were just as blatant as the maphack vs me (for example: https://i.imgur.com/sFhkF4c.gif)

yep, I saw the gif above. I just don't want to make a statement on it unless we have someone look through several replays and prove it for sure but the evidence doesn't look good for him

yeah we know. watch out for this retard, who will make 10 phoenix, not harass with them, because he is not GM level, make a b-line to ur medivacs whenver you load up and begin to drop, and has perfect composition/awareness from his all-seeing 1 observer per game play. NA masters 1. cant even believe people would hack in diamond but i appreciate you making this video ketroc, this is not just circumstantial, it is very blatant. thankfully this game u played was long enough to be very convincing

Yep, maphacks folks. For all the Avilo haters, he may be right; people hack. I've played a couple of games myself where it seemed my opponent did some odd/very coincidental things without having vision/scanning/overlords in place, such as moving their entire army right to an expo they don't know about and killing it literally right after it finishes morphing into planetary (so I cant get my money back/cancel). I've always put it off as just coincidence, not wanting to be like Avilo and saying everyone hacks, but after this post, it seems hacks are live and well, sadly. Good post Ketroc.

I'm guessing with a community as intelligent as the sc2 community that there are more than a few statistical experts out there, so.... anyone feel like to taking a crack at the odds of accidentally clicking EXACTLY on a widow mine and/or reaper through the fog of war?

Maphack never disapeared, i have been kind of close (real life) to some developpers for "forbidden tools" on wow, and got extremely mad at them back then on wol when they tried to expand on sc2 with maphack.
Shutting down the most used maphack, doesn't mean maphack doesn't exist anymore, as for wow, thoses tool can be done by private developper or underground chinese (or non mainly english speaking country ) and no one will talk about them.

On top of that since its common to think maphack doesn't exist anymore, you'll most likely end up being called an avilo like if you suspect someone of hacking. Especially because if they're not as dumb as that zerg on the video, it may be very hard to notice or have real evidences.

This shit is getting real tiring of people saying i accuse every single player of MHing when they are just being assholes and taking something out of context.

There have been stream sessions where i have been sniped repeatedly by the same 2-3 hackers (including that Nero guy) over the course of 10-20 games.

So i mean...there is not much i can do. If i'm playing the same hacker 4-6 games in a row on stream do you want me to say he doesn't hack? lol. I think this is why people think for some reason i accuse "so many people" of MHing they prob caught my stream during these time frames where the same hackers were sniping my stream.

Makes it even worse when they are on barcodes because then i have no fuckin clue if i'm playing a "legit" barcode or the same MHer from the last game. Those are the times you've seen me mistakingly call someone a hacker that wasn't...because they were on a goddamn barcode and that shit will put you on edge after 5+ games of being blind countered.

I do honestly think it's a huge problem in past months but everyone wants to disagree half the time without even lookin at replay evidence.

Data is always available for the client, so it can be intercepted by a hack either during transmission or in memory on the client. Transmission is less intrusive, but a lot easier to protect, so maphacks usually analyze memory content.

To be able to retrieve the data you need to understand how it is organized (structure) and where in memory it is located. First part is a difficult bit of reverse engineering, second part is easy enough once you know what to look for.

Most patches don't change the structure at all, so you just need to change the location (offsets in memory) which is close to a non issue.

With LOTV, Blizzard changed the structure itself and allegedly changed it with an objective to make it harder to reverse engineer. Means all maphack developers had to go back to the difficult part of rebuilding the structure and they simply didn't have the incentive to do so.

To be able to retrieve the data you need to understand how it is organized (structure) and where in memory it is located. First part is a difficult bit of reverse engineering, second part is easy enough once you know what to look for.

Most patches don't change the structure at all, so you just need to change the location (offsets in memory) which is close to a non issue.

With LOTV, Blizzard changed the structure itself and allegedly changed it with an objective to make it harder to reverse engineer. Means all maphack developers had to go back to the difficult part of rebuilding the structure and they simply didn't have the incentive to do so.

Alright, just wanted to make sure they did at least claim that they put in some measure to make hacking less likely as opposed to just releasing LotV (I said patch but that was a brain fart).

Nice work OP. I think the video is pretty on point and seems like you may have caught a maphacker. Hopefully, there are a lot more replays that can be found so that it can be confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt.


Ya, I found more of his replays here: http://sc2replaystats.com/player/1150950. Watched 2 and they were just as blatant as the maphack vs me (for example: https://i.imgur.com/sFhkF4c.gif)


You should check if he plays duo and see if his partner hacks too

I think they will put all the efforts to protect SCR. SC2 scene is too dead to overhaul hacking protection.

Patch 3.0 in Oct2015 broke all the existing public maphacks beyond repair. Daed gam meant no one was interested in putting in the time to figure out how to decrypt and build another from scratch. There has been no evidence of maphack shown since then including TL's hacker thread.

But...but avilo is playing hackers every week /s


This shit is getting real tiring of people saying i accuse every single player of MHing when they are just being assholes and taking something out of context.

There have been stream sessions where i have been sniped repeatedly by the same 2-3 hackers (including that Nero guy) over the course of 10-20 games.

So i mean...there is not much i can do. If i'm playing the same hacker 4-6 games in a row on stream do you want me to say he doesn't hack? lol. I think this is why people think for some reason i accuse "so many people" of MHing they prob caught my stream during these time frames where the same hackers were sniping my stream.

Makes it even worse when they are on barcodes because then i have no fuckin clue if i'm playing a "legit" barcode or the same MHer from the last game. Those are the times you've seen me mistakingly call someone a hacker that wasn't...because they were on a goddamn barcode and that shit will put you on edge after 5+ games of being blind countered.

I do honestly think it's a huge problem in past months but everyone wants to disagree half the time without even lookin at replay evidence.


I mean... I think people are more 'tired' of you just accusing anyone of map hacking as you have for... a long time... Can you honestly reply that you are manner when it comes to losing given the track record you have? My god, I have VoDs on my Twitch from 3 years ago probably of u BMing me/floating buildings/saying whatever comes to your mind in that moment etc.... -_-;;

The point that was clearly made by the OP is that hacks have not been around for a while. Snute also mentioned this and I am quite certain that just about everyone is in agreement with this.

I think everyone understands that you get stream sniped, and yeah, it sucks. But when you call people a hacker simply because you lose, and without any real evidence, you can surely expect to get rebuttals and criticisms about it, especially in this domain.

As I explain below, the chances you played a MHer earlier than a few weeks ago/monthish~+ are... rather... rather.. low, especially at your MMR.



To the person asking about the MH.. some general time frame info that should b okay:
+ Show Spoiler +

the ones previously 'sold' (prior to 3.0) were not very cheap; thusly, they were pretty exclusive from my understanding.

From a quick check, it appears the latest MHs have been in use since ~3/15/17 (or earlier~) and seems to be fully functional with the most up to date version of the game.

I probably can't say much more than that.

Well it's not beyond impossible for a dev to make a maphack for a very few person ( like let's say he's not selling it, but just made it because someone paid him to do it? or just he did it for "fun" or w/e reason. ) once it's done for lotv, all it takes is change the offset after each patch.

But the amount of hacker from private hack if there is any is probably so low it's very unlikely that someone "constantly" play against several maphacker in the same night or even in the same week.

I dont understand anything about coding and stuff, therefor excuse if my question seem to be stupid, but isnt there a way to monitor what programs are used on a computer that runs sc2?

If you launch for instance pokerstars, the gameutil1.exe is also launched. This exe seem to monitor data, pokerstars is very vague what it is doing. As I understand it, it is in place to ensure the rules and regulations are not broken, especially "maphacking"(see players cards etc).

Is it reallly that hard to check, if another program is using the gamedata while a match is running? Or is there s.th. like that already implemented?

That game made me sick to my stomach.

Honestly, if I queued up against that playstyle and had access to a maphack, I would turn it on too. Build one unit type and turtle... that isn't fun at all and violates the essence of a strategy game.

But then again, I don't play SC2 anymore. I hope Blizzard fixes this for those that do.

I think there is a privacy issue, they can't monitor all the program on your PC. Other issue is if the maphack is only doing memory reading and not actually injecting ( so modifying ) the game data.

The privacy thing could be dealt with by agreeing to monitoring in the terms and conditions, I think. Not sure though, I´m not a lawyer.

In my little world, I thought it could work like that:
The memory is a folder in the program folder, right? I would think if another program is using that data while a match is running, blizzard will be informed.
No need to get the info which programm is using that data or for what purpose. It could be enough to automatically be reason for permaban.

I know this is a little flawed and does not take into account every possible scenario, but just as a starter.

If there are programs people want to use, the producer of the program could contact blizzard to get permission.

Anti Hack had to look for the process which accesses sc2s memory. Other hacks rewrite the sc2 file it-self. This would require a file check.

The only way to make sc2 hack proof is if they change the code each day for each person. If everyone downloads a different code every day, only the hacker himself will be able to adapt.

Also don't take the privacy issue so lightly, the anti hack program would check all your files and send a report.

How is that funny? Claiming someone maphacks without the ability to back it up is nonsensical. But if you suddenly see evidence the situation changes. That's not 'flipping opinions'.

I thought it was quite funny.

Yeah that maphacker Juggernaut must have literally got his maphack in the mail, moments after ketroc posted those things... what a coincidence! /sarcasm

Maphacks probably got more exclusive most likely resulting in only "higher" level players (that spend enough time on the game to warrant a maphack) will use one. And since they're higher level players, they're also much better at hiding it under the disguise of good map sense, good awareness,.. Finally higher level players won't be as stupid to just click at shit in the fog of war. This juggernaut guy is probably a real exception and now he's revealed the fact that there are map hackers. To think that this is an isolated incident or that maphacks are literally only back for a few days, is naive at best.

Finally avilo accuses a lot of people of maphack when they're just streamcheating, which is just a misnomer and doesn't really invalidate the accusation. The person's still cheating.

Come up with a reason, without circumstantial evidence, that private map-hacks wouldn't exist under a year and a half since patch?

That's not how it works. I can also not prove that God doesn't exist. Doesn't make him any more real.

My point is that in order to claim something to be real you need to back it up somehow. That video in the OP does a good job at that. It was probably not the first LotV match with someone using a maphack - but it's hard not to come to the conclusion that a hack was used here.

Now would be your turn to post a video containing such evidence from an earlier match if you claim that hacks were around for much longer. I'll be waiting.

Took me less than thirty seconds to find evidence that someone has already hacked in LotV.

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/3z31c1/nero13_year_old_mexican_kid_confirmed_maphacker/


Side note: This is very much unlike the existence of God argument. As you should know, in WoL and HotS there were a sizable number of blatant map hackers. Additionally, there existed private hacks during this time period. If you put two and two together, it would be safer to assume that the hackers didn't just magical disappear for an entire year and a half.

On the other hand, there was never any tangible evidence for the existence of your "God." If God did exist then would it make sense for it to disappear for a year and a half despite being around beforehand?

No? It doesn't make sense?

Yes, it doesn't make sense either way because the parallel is terrible.

yeah it is funny when someone comes out so strongly against someone in a public forum, only to take the total opposite stance when something fishy happens to him. Regardless i'm glad an issue like this is finally being discussed in a rational manner, with the hopes that something can be done to fix it.

You guys think it's funny because you think it hinges on the fact that him being a victim is what made him change but I think it's commendable that he's still open to changing his mind even when he's taken such a firm stance the other way. It didn't occur to me that it's because he was a victim but rather because it was the first time he saw strong evidence. It's a problem that there are always people out there who'll criticize and laugh at anyone who changes their mind. Being open to new evidence and processing it and making the best decision you currently can is always commendable.

He not only takes the time to watch the replay but then he makes posts the video and the posts himself.

This all just came up because hacks have been so uncommon that a guy was asking whether there's any really strong evidence like this at all. It's pretty naive to think no one had (or could have) made new hacks but it does seem like virtually no one is hacking. It's good to know if there's any strong evidence of people hacking right now. Some people crying wolf only made it harder to believe that there were a lot of hackers out there.

Until this video I've seen very little evidence of anyone hacking in LoTV, so I don't think it's been a widespread problem. Only avilo has been saying it is, but his accusations are based on paranoia and confirmation bias with very weak evidence.

There's no doubt about this guy though, he was obviously hacking. So it only makes sense to accept hacks are definitely around and could become more of a problem. But they might only be available to a very small number of people. This video doesn't make it legitimate for people to start claiming hacks any time they get unlucky. It's only proof this one guy hacks.

For those who want to belive that blizzard fixed maphacks from 2015 until now, here's a video from feb 2016 showing evidence of maphacking, uploaded by protech, skip to 22:50.



There are a bunch more in his page if you're still skeptical.

Wondering how much stronger anti-hack protection will be for SCR. I remember when LOTV was released it was lagged a lot because of super antihack, later it was nerfed to normalize game's performance.
As for SCR the game doesn't demand for high end system, so i guess Blizzard can implement something stronger than LOTV anti-hack.

Maybe it´s because you DO accuse almost everybody of hacking? Replay evidence? Maybe you should listen to your own advice more often:


"I've accused this guy of hacking before... I don't know if he actually does." speaks volumes about you.

I think this is why people think for some reason i accuse "so many people" of MHing they prob caught my stream during these time frames where the same hackers were sniping my stream.

Makes it even worse when they are on barcodes because then i have no fuckin clue if i'm playing a "legit" barcode or the same MHer from the last game. Those are the times you've seen me mistakingly call someone a hacker that wasn't...because they were on a goddamn barcode and that shit will put you on edge after 5+ games of being blind countered.

I do honestly think it's a huge problem in past months but everyone wants to disagree half the time without even lookin at replay evidence.

Maybe it´s because you DO accuse almost everybody of hacking? Replay evidence? Maybe you should listen to your own advice more often:

Wait, is it just pure coincidence that the person in the video (Jason vs Avilo) is named Juggernaut, and so is the person in OP?

Am I missing something or??

Yes, just like the video where Ketroc analyses a replay sent by Avilo of a hacker. There is not a single suspicious incident in the game, Avilo just got outplayed.

I think the likely reason for Avilo's behaviour is an inflated opinion of his skill and a lack of understanding of the game. Thus everything looks suspicious to him. Either that or he has a certain image to keep up to retain his loyal viewers, and also those who like to watch the trainwreck that is Avilo.

But MHs are back, I don't think that people will come across them often, but even just 5% of the time is too much. Blizzard, please step up here.

Still good find from Ketroc. Thanks for posting this, people should know something like this.

It's pure coincidence. Jason (or Juggernautjason) is a GM Terran streamer (https://www.twitch.tv/juggernautjason)

Lol mass raven building float is so cancerous that my eyes were pretty much blinded the first watch. Took a lot of effort to strip that bias away, rofl.

That Jason vs Avilo video sums up avilo pretty damn well!

Wondering how much stronger anti-hack protection will be for SCR. I remember when LOTV was released it was lagged a lot because of super antihack, later it was nerfed to normalize game's performance.
As for SCR the game doesn't demand for high end system, so i guess Blizzard can implement something stronger than LOTV anti-hack.

Eh, I think itd ultimately be easier/simpler to hack older games.

Ultimately its always going to possible to hack these type of games since all the information is sent to the client. Cant be helped.

On the positive side of things, I now have something to blame my losses on. Not just protoss imba

I think that if Blizzard expend a little effort, every now and then, to defeat the current map hacks then we would be OK. There is not as much incentive anymore to hack the game due to the general decline of SC2, so hackers would eventually give up, or switch to BW remastered.

Every time i catch their drop, have a defense or if i am prepared for an all in, I am called a maphacker. They don't even watch the replay and try to understand my decisions. It is hard work, not maphack! I don't just scout constantly, my zerglings patrouille between the bases, my overlords are well positioned, i am running with 2-3 army groups up and down the map, harass and cover my bases. And sometimes it is just coincides!

^ this so much. there is literally not a single game online that isnt flooded with hackers and cheaters. is sc2 an exception? ofc not. there is quite a few hacks available atm. but id like to think that sc2 is still one of the safer games in that regard. the overall number of hackers compared to the total playerbase is not crazy high by any means. so just deal with it. i have no idea why so many here think only they are entitled to a hacker free game. what is blizzard supposed to do? hire a full team of internet cops that hunt and track down every hacker there is? get real. they ban those who get caught and that is all you can expect really. changing the game infrastructure wont change anything either except make the game hack free for a few months until new hacks emerge.

funny thing is blizzard has actually made international news multiple times recently for suing hack publishers so they're doing more than other companies, not less

So at what point did you become a troll? Was it an overnight thing or was it gradual? Because you definitely are one now from the looks of your posts here and everytime avilo's name or mech gets mentioned.

I am sorry but that must be dummest reason ever. Even at the worst times of hots, you would match a hacker once in every 20 games probably. I didn't even match a single hacker in lotv yet. Comparing to other online games , starcraft is the one of the least problematic in that regard.

Your experiences in the past are not the same as mine. For me, fair competition is #1 otherwise I don't see a point in spending my time playing. Down playing the issue at hand, hacks, does not fix the issue nor address it. Unless blizzard fixes their game, i'll be on the sidelines watching every once in a while.

You have right to complain like all we do here but saying that this was the reason you quit playing is not very credible and looks silly.

What people like you call "hacks" are in fact missing features in the game in the first place. If the hacks wouldn't make the game better for the player, noone would use them. Get over that stubborn elitism and put a "maphack" in the game. Or even better, create an api so one can code his own modifications to the client.

Just because you say it doesn't mean it is.
You quit the game because you THINK there are a lot of hackers, that's something different.
If you're below gm I'm pretty sure at most 1% of your opponents are hackers, even in HotS.
Probably the real reason why you quit is because you can't deal with your losses (and thus blame it on hacks).

I am sorry but that must be dummest reason ever. Even at the worst times of hots, you would match a hacker once in every 20 games probably. I didn't even match a single hacker in lotv yet. Comparing to other online games , starcraft is the one of the least problematic in that regard.


Your experiences in the past are not the same as mine. For me, fair competition is #1 otherwise I don't see a point in spending my time playing. Down playing the issue at hand, hacks, does not fix the issue nor address it. Unless blizzard fixes their game, i'll be on the sidelines watching every once in a while.

You have right to complain like all we do here but saying that this was the reason you quit playing is not very credible and looks silly.
Fair competition is already #1 as always been , maybe you were thinking that anyone who beats you is a maphacker just like the avilo character.



Actually, IT IS THE REASON. This information coming from the source(myself) is as credible as it can get. I'm sorry you refuse to believe it and get over it.

Just because you say it doesn't mean it is.
You quit the game because you THINK there are a lot of hackers, that's something different.
If you're below gm I'm pretty sure at most 1% of your opponents are hackers, even in HotS.
Probably the real reason why you quit is because you can't deal with your losses (and thus blame it on hacks).


Ah yes because i'm not aware of why i choose not to do things LOL. talking about trolling holy moly

I think what everyone is trying to say that quitting over the fact that maybe 1% of the playing population hacks (and less now) is kind of a bitch move.

While they are not necessarily incorrect, their problem here is that they are trying to convince you of this opinion, which I would say is generally not very palatable to the target of such an opinion.

HotS was probably at least 5% maphackers. Maphacks were public and Blizz wasnt banning. I'd face an obvious one every session. Since patch 1.8 this is the first maphacker I faced in 3000games. I also found no evidence of it anywhere... So 0.1% at most in the last 18months.

could you support your claim with facts/replays please? I would be interested to see a GM replay pack with 80% map hackers.

So basicly you got upset because you could not get remotely good at the game and you are now blaming it on a player in 100.

that statement has nothing to with reality, most pros got at least two or more GM accounts, and saying that 160 out of 200 are hacking is a bullshit

I can't even imagine that some players like Snute, TLO or Harstem hacking, simply no point
