I don't know how this post was overlooked.

I believe the most incriminating replay shows the protoss going nexus first on TDA with 0 scouting, then pulling back all his probes and units to his main base at the sight of just 2 marines (if you use his camera vision). Timber went for an all in and denied all scouting, so the logical explanation of his actions is he saw a trail of dots on the minimap that alerted him, which was not have been possible as he had no vision at all. Before this game timber played like 5 games with him all very suspicious.

Replay Analysis

• 7:03 : Ghost see a bunch of marines coming before backing his Stalkers and his probes. That last move is only explicable if he has seen the SCV coming too behind. He had not.

• He didn't knew from Timber base that All-in was coming. He didn't poked with 1 or 2 stalkers are good often do. Not conclusive in itself but makes things even more suspect in this case.

My own conclusion (and it's only an opinion)

• For me this Replay is suspision of Map Hacking. It can be explained if Timber was known by Ghost to do that 50% of the time in this situation. That I can't say, that's our top tier players that can and Ghost himself.
• No Poke: I guess you can be afraid of Concusive Shell in that timing and that might have prevented him for poking. But not at least puting one stalker on the Xel'Naga ? Weird.

I will distinguish "suspicion" as something suspect, and the definition Apth gave me:

Apth: @Nemo - evidence isn't necessarily conclusive, whereas proof is usually considered to be

I will go on on other replay when I can. Tonight or tomorrow.

Edit : Lowered to "Suspicion" following Erasmus remark. I think I have never witnessed such think myself though.
