So just to clarify, you're saying this is normal behaviour, meaning that in the earlier game it is an increase chance of him hacking because he does something different?

But then in the same line you're saying that earlier he is doing different things that indicate him hacking this game? (i.e. scouting for SCV's which I don't think is unreasonable).

Just seems a bit conflicting where at least it appears your saying "This is what behaviour looks like without hacks so the other games are more suspicious because he didn't do the same", then saying in the same breath that he's not acting normally with other aspects of the game, so it's evidence for hacking.

For finding the SCV, I think that was just a coincidence. He knew the SCV had either returned home, or was hiding around for secondary scouting. So it was a good idea to check around his base for the SCV, and he did that as soon as possible (he built the nexus, and straight away sent the stalker to scout around).

I agree with the other things, though (I think, it's really hard to understand with the video stutter). I just find it really suspicious that he's playing blind in all of these games, no secondary scouts, no watchtowers, etc.

Exactly.

Yes, The only time he scouts in this game is when there is something useful to find. In the game N°3 (when he did not map hacked), he was scouting permanently and often without finding anything.

Humm, maybe my English betrayed me, I don't have the impression that I wanted to say that.

I think :

• When he Map hack => doesn't scout at all or is being super lucky with his only scout (stalker)
• When he doesn't Map Hack => He scout permanently and just have standard luck.
• Normal attitude when sending forward drone = Put Pylon and go forward with the drone.
  • Game 2 (MH): His drone is about to be attacked by timber army (but he doesn't see it in his vision) : He backs it instead of going forward.
  • Game 4 (MH): His drone is not going to be attacked this time and go forward (as normal).
  • So in game 2 he knew for sure he was going to be attacked without having the "normal" vision of it => Stronger evidence of Map hack

Edit : My posted didn't make sense, I edited it. Did it yesterday just before going to bed.

Replay Analysis

It's the same game as the VoD a few posts ahead. As the sound quality is not good, I will make some screenshot to explain the points that are interesting considering the Map Hacking inquiry:

• 4:49 : He has not seen the SCV comingin the viciny of his base and still send the Stalker behind at the exact time the SCV is sent behind the base. As it is the only time in the game where he actually scout. I find this very suspect that he has the "luck" to fall on the SCV.

• 5:29: He prepares his units as to receive a attack by the left, the normal route of a attack on that map (direct). Legit. Let's forget it's again at the right time of Timber push with 2 Marauders on the normal route ... But don't forget the Chrono of the sentry too at the exact right time.

• 5:51 : He then leaves his units and suddenly reorganizes them to receive a attack by the right without seing anything. When we see everyone's view, we see that Timber hve rerouted his Marauders to push by the right in the same time. For me that's a evidence of Map Hack. At this point of the inquiry, I don't believe anymore at so many insane luck or coincidence anymore ...

• 8:32 : Timber is on the point of arriving at Ghost base. Units of Ghost are not selected. He is attending to his base. He selected his army 2 times in the last 30 sec less than 1 sec.

• 8:35 : Still seing nothing and Timber army just on the verge of engaging, Ghost select all his army and do nothing with them until Timber engages.

• 10:49 : This time the forward probe go ahead after making his pylon and don't retreat to his army. It's the normal behaviour. That enlighten the fact that in game 2, he did retreated it because it was threatened by Timber army without having any vision on this ennemy army.

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

Se 2 posts ahead. For me the 4 games show that he map hacked in 3 of them and didn't in the game number 3.
