That sucks man! I really hoped that SC2 would somehow big a hack-free game... guess that was too naive.

But I really, really don't get these people. They will get banned for sure doing it THIS obviously. And where's the fun in just disc hacking right from the start of every game - you never get to play this way?

They must be some truly sad individuals to care about their scores and rankings in a game they cannot play and will be banned from anyway

Personally I think the account should simply be closed.

yeah but blizzard cant close a battle.net account, because the user has other games on that account too.
it wouldnt be okay anyway, i mea you hack in sc2 and you get your sc1 and wc3 and wow accounts removed/locked? that cant be right.
blizzard should just remove his sc2 license on his b.net iD and GG NO RE!

Definitely sucks to lose this way. Anyone encountering this please report to Blizzard so they can fix this quick.

They should delete everything. He is breaking the rules, and will have to pay for it.

Thing is, it's profitable to have hackers in games for blizzard. Look at d2 and sc1. Both are plagued with hackers, ranging from bots to map hack to control hacks, and bliz doesn't ban them. Why don't they ban them? Because they can make more money off the game if they ban everybody in one big wave and force them to re-buy the game because probably all the people they knew who played the game also got banned. I don't know if this will happed with SC2 immediately, but over time it's likely to happen because it's a bigger profit margin for bliz.

don't worry, they will probably fix this as soon as the hack is available to the public and they can exam what exactly is going on

How does this even work? Isn't everything connected to the server? Can someone with more technical expertise explain?

I haven't actually tried this, but can you enter their username and add as a friend?

Also, it seems like Blizzard hasn't updated their hack reporting page:

Starcraft II isn't listed

i can sort of half understanding map hacks because the person is a noob trying to get an edge. But what could possibly compel someone to just want to freeze the game and not play at all?

Google ads prove useful again

I don't really know the ToS for Google Ads, but I assume the staff can't really do much about this?

Did you see the screenshots? It was the same guy.
So I'm sure this must be a hack or a bug in the game that this guy is using
And dont worry guys, Blizzard is very serious about hackers, they will ban them, alot of them!!!
