My conclusion is he map hacked in the game against Muse but not the 2 others against Hithenbottom. Why he hacked in a game and not in the others, I don't know. It's not the first time we see this as Ghost for example was clearly switching from MH to no MH.
Game 1 Analysis summary
3:40 - Deflects OL before scouting base. Evidence of Map Hack. He's then sending another overlord between the base of Muse and his without knowing where is the base.
No drone scout in this game, drone scout in game 2 (was perhaps after game 3 in fact) and no drone scout game 3. Nothing conclusive.
Scouting 1 ramp only with zergling on a 4 player map ?
0 scouting, neither XelNaga at any point of the game, never took the Xelnaga. While he was permanently scouting with glings in game 2.
No precaution spores in game 2 while he puts 2 in game 1. So it's not a habit for him to do that.
A-clicking enemy base with Roaches without even scouting if there are some tanks in the natural
Attack the natural assuming there is no 3rd (no scouting) (and there was no 3rd)
And a lot of small things like that.
As I said, for me, it's Maphack and this game is enough evidence for that. It is now necessary to have other opinions on the subject. Please read and watch all the analysis done before and give your opinions.
Other replays should be interesting too. I will watch yours tomorrow Lyfe. If we have a lot of replays an no other shows MH, then might call it insane luck I guess.
