Because of the potential consequences, we should be careful about accepting unproven accusations. The principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' should be applied here. That does not mean that there has been a conclusion about this case, however, which is why this thread remains tentatively open. Please discuss with caution and use evidence to back up your claims.

The 1 post count the OP has probably means that he is a regular here who created a new account just to post this. I think that damages his credibility moreso than the actual quantity of posts. He is accusing someone of cheating, he should put his name behind it. He is attacking someone else's reputation, yet he hides his identity so HIS reputation cant be taken into account (or damaged if he's wrong)? This shows a lack of character. Should the case be found innocent, I think the TL Mods should bring out into the open the TRUE identity of the individual attempting to destroy a Pro's career and oust him from the community. Wether or not Spades is hacking, the facts that the OP pointed are really suspicious. A 50+ pages thread and still noone can say exactly if it's hack or not. The OP sure did his research and had the right to bring this matter to the public view because Spades actions ARE suspicious... CatZ and illusion streaming this atm, multiple solid proofs already shown, camera constantly freezes on the edge of fog of war to not show you are looking into their base etc. 100% hack OP is obviously his teammate or a friend so totally understandable to use fake account. If theres anything I've learned from observing people, the moment they state a statistic, they're generally totally full of shit. Does it offend you, that you're most likely completely full of shit? Well, to counter your evidence, I AM 10000% certain it wasn't a hack. See my % is bigger than yours, I have more proof... I am watching illusion/catz, both biased and both have some disliking for spades it would seem... Maybe before you place all your certainty behind these two guys, you should read the thread with pros/people of note's opinions.. They drastically side with spades. The problem is that Illusion and CatZ already decided hours ago that Spades is guilty, and they're analyzing the replays from that angle. | ||

I'm more concerned with the smurf op and his accusations. If a person wants to post accusations like this, they better put their name to it. The fact that a person can sit behind a smurf like a pussy and spout shit is ridiculous. TL I implore you to out this op by checking his ip. This person probably just ruined Spade's career. If a person whats to make unproven accusations, they should be forced to not smurf. This sets a terrible precedent and could lead to people posting false hacking accusations just to tarnish reputations and ruin careers with no risk or punishment. There is something to be said about the accused being able to face the accuser/witnesses, which is why it makes sense that the accuser should be identified. But given the recent witch hunt nature of this community, I think there is good reason why someone might want to hide their identity while bringing up a hacking accusation. As for Spade's career, we don't know. You cannot ignore his past indiscretions. Yet if the community agrees that he did not cheat, we're going to forget about this thread in due time and that'll be that. On the bright side, no one has contacted sponsors yet (I think). | ||

EDIT: This thread is absolutely revolting, I'm going to go to sleep... TL forever trying to be a respectful news source for the community, and reddit at the same time. Seems rather impossible with so many idiots/bigots/posers/experts and pro players profiting from stream views while analyzing a game they predetermined was hacking beforehand... One day, we'll cast aside the idiots and this forum will have stronger moderation on ludicrous thread postings. | ||

he also used so much 'random, luck and bad play' etc to back up his claim. I mean all these lucky scan etc in different games, that's really suspicious | ||

After all even just changing scouting direction in 2 games would make the data seem perfectly incognito. So, a larger sample size on 4 player maps would be needed to come to make any inferences in this regard. However it is not blatantly skewed towards always getting it right, so I do not think this data is indicative of Spades hacking. At the same time, since it's clear that he doesn't scout in the same direction every game, I think if I were able to get a much larger sample size of Spades' 4 player games, and if the data there were about as expected from more or less random scouting, it could be a useful point in Spades' defense. Not to sound rude, but why on earth do you think this qualifies as definitive data either way? You should be watching army movements, build decisions and keep an eye out for camera lock / minimap scan habits. Do you even know what you're looking for? In theory, you would be under 50% likelihood of finding the opponent on the first scout, right? So if you are finding the opponent on first scout in the majority of games, it might suggest that you know where he is. But yeah, the sample size is way too small and this evidence is certainly very far from conclusive. But the idea of using actual data rather than speculation to determine if someone is hacking is certainly appealing. We run a pretty tight-knit community in the SEA scene and we've outed a LOT of maphackers throughout BW/WC3/SC2 and more often than not, they'll always use the same mindless adjacent scouting patterns because there's absolutely no value in "always scouting the right place first" to them. I mean really. Think about it. Yea but Spades is clearly not scouting the same way in every game. I thought I made that clear, actually watched his scouting in each of those games. Or maybe I'm misinterpreting what you mean by how hackers scout. | ||

Well now that Spades has released his ladder reps this might be useless, but when I read the thread I was inspired to check a recent game against Spades (HSC qualifier). When I played the game I noticed nothing suspicious, though it was a short game. I looked at the replay and found some stuff that seemed similar to what the op described (but I was looking for them). I'm not claiming he hacks or that he doesn't, I'm just sharing my observations of this game. 3:04 his scout enters my main, and he doesn't control it at all. He doesn't look at my base a single time until I attack his scout with an SCV. This seems odd to me since he scouted late (15 supply) on a huge map. I would expect him to expect a Marine to be ready to shoot the SCV given its arrival time. There isn't one because I went gas first, but unless he checked my matchlist before the game (waste of time since I'm a nobody) he couldn't know I typically open that way tvt. Not bothering to scout with the SCV after he remembers he has it seems weird too, he's apparently not at all concerned with my 2nd gas (which is important information). He also doesn't scan my main a single time to figure out my tech. However if he did check my matchlist he may identify the signals of my most common opening, so none of this is evidence, just odd. 7:33 he doesn't move his screen at all to see whether he killed the Banshee or not; seems odd to me. He wasn't doing anything else at the time either. If he had followed my Banshee with his camera it would have lead into the fog. This sounds similar to the camera locking. However he does similar things (not following stuff with his camera) when the thing I'd expect him to chase is moving through his vision (not into fog), so this may be some idiosyncratic camera movement. However at 8:34 seemingly out of character he does follow a Banshee through his own vision. 8:45 he's apparently unconcerned with my Banshee; he chased it off to the left and then moves back into his nat; I'd expect him to continue tracking it with his army or at least camera. His tower vision shows nothing else on the way, so I wouldn't expect him to be expecting something else coming to his nat as an explanation. It's odd, but again not real evidence. 8:50 his camera is still in a fairly useless spot. 9:59 he for the first time allows fog into his vision (partially). 11:22 I finally kill his Marine on the tower, and he doesn't look at it once despite my units being in his vision for a while, and doesn't click into the fog once the Marine dies to check residual vision (of my units there). Could be a mistake, he may have been distracted by my single Viking in his main that he was about to overkill, but seems like an odd lapse of minimap awareness when for the rest of the game he seemed alert of his vision. 12:17 he for the first time puts his camera into the fog (mini-map click) and issues a command into it. Does this disprove camera locking, or is that feature easily toggleable? 12:36 he's very bold moving to the tower which he lacks vision of. This could definitely viably be confidence that he's ahead after having beaten my force at his nat previously, but personally it seems pretty careless. 13:10 he charges into my nat after scouting 2 tanks in position and knowing I have several vikings (for tank vision). He doesn't scout past the tanks so I feel like he can't know for certain that I have nothing else there (result of making a fast 3rd base which he didn't scout). Seems careless to me, but I guess he was just very confident in his victory. Nothing I found strikes me as being evidence of hacking, but a lot of it seems like evidence of incompetence and very slow play. That seems like a weird combination of traits for a player of any renown. I think it's that weirdness that makes the people who believe he hacks find his actions suspicious. | ||
