Simpson is innocent at this point. So you don't know but you believe there's conclusive evidence? "Yeah guys, we don't know if he hacked, but we sure got rid of him anyway!" | ||

I have no opinion on if he hacks or not. Most of the information seems to be inconsistent so far so I am waiting until after MLG and WCS to full make my opinion on it. | ||

For people that wants him to keep him in the community, he hacked, you should accept it, and keeping him in the community is like accepting map hackers play at high level. | ||

Everyone assumed MJ was guilty because of prior suspicions that he was a pedophile, which were settled out of court. The second case turned out to be an elaborate con. | ||

I would like to see him become like the sickest LoL coach or something, where his numerous gifts won't be wasted. Regardless, I will continue cheering for him, I hope he will be at MLG to compete with many many fans from all around the world, bathed in happiness and love. | ||

There's much more to a murder case than to a guy hacking in videogames. | ||

Ultimately, the decision on whether or not he was a hacker should've been left to Blizzard. When hackers are reported they review the case, and most (if not all) confirmed hackers are banned/demoted to perma-bronze. There was no conclusive evidence (I myself did not think he hacked personally) and now the guy's career is, at this point, in question. Frankly I think we should be ashamed. Good luck in your future endeavors Spades, I loved your play and you have a fan in me. | ||

If innocent, is the career of Spades worth the possible abandonment of hacks by others or those that planned to use them? I can't make that call, but it seems like the only positive out of this whole situation. | ||

No longer do we live in societies where people are innocent until proven guilty in the eyes of the public. As soon as that first accusation is brought out the crowd opinion instantly latches on to that and brands the accused guilty, without deciding before all information is brought onto the table. With instant media and many outlets for others to express opinions, people are easily caught up and believe incomplete, sometimes completely false, information and it spirals out of control. You say that like we ever actually did outside of the legal system. Mob witch hunts certainly didn't magically begin with the digital age. | ||

Do you have any idea how circumstantial evidence works? There's a limit as for how much circumstantial evidence proves something is conclusive and you obviously think that threshold is much lower than him. No one will EVER know for sure (it's the same for a certain percentage of previous hackers who get banned). | ||

Actually, there's a lot of people who would permanently blackball him if he admitted to hacking, and they'd be right to do so. There should be zero tolerance for hacking, especially if SC2 is to be considered a real sport worthy of financial support and investment. | ||
