I am a Master League-er and I was completely dumbfounded when I encountered this. At first I thought this guy was a Starcraft God, but upon second look, this guy must have been using a bot.

The game starts pretty regular, I go for an initial baneling opening into expand, while he goes for a roach -> Expand.

I saturate 2 bases and start a timing attack with roaches as +1/+1 finishes. At the moment I hit his base I have an excess of 6 roaches with better upgrades and a ridiculously good concave. At the time, he had 0/0 while I had 1/1. I bring an overseer just in case.

The first thing that doesn't make sense is that he made Corrupters when I made no air-units and had no spire. He made these corrupters to specifically kill my overseer. And then, the micro begins. The opponent zerg burrows all of his roaches that are in the red and rearranges them. If you look throughout the replay his apm was constantly in the 60-100 range. And at the start of the fight, his APM spikes to 500, stays constant around 400, and peaks as high as 696.

Note: When viewing the battle through his viewpoint, he never even highlighted the specific roaches to burrow, in many cases he was controlling his corrupters as his roaches were burrowing, or he was controlling all of his roaches at once as individual roaches burrowed and unburrowed.


ZvZ Perfect Roach Burrow Micro Bot

Upon chatting with him after wards he claims that he is Korean and micro's with two keyboards. He also talks about how his power comes from rice.

Anyways, has anybody else bumped into people on ladder blatantly using hacks? I thought SC2 was relatively free of hackers.

EDIT: There is another post of this that I must have overlooked. Sorry.

That's pretty legit. Maybe it's not a hack.

You should probably just post in the hack section no reason for a post on this. If you are looking for a discussion about the hack/bot there is one around here already from a day or two ago.

blizz needs to know about the specifics about the hacks to be able to kill the hacks
also they take awhile before they ban people (collect lots of evidence, and then mass ban)

just report them to blizzard.
