Going to save future replays as evidence as don't think I have any saved from the earlier times

This one at 4:30 he has probe position at his FFE wall waiting possibly to drop cyber core
My roach warren goes down and few seconds later he puts pylon where he'd want his cyber core and adds a second cannon. I denied his fake scouting (as he doesn't even click it into my base just clicks it below the ramp outside my natural)
You could argue that maybe he just wanted to be safe but he continues to add 2 additional cannons for a total of 4. Not to mention he made one zealot he sent to the tower that I killed with 4 lings. He had no vision no prompt to make 4 cannons and go straight for sentries and chronoing his warpgate while holding position a probe and sentry at gap in the wall.
His actions are while not 100% definitive, are absolutely indicative of reactionary play to an all in he knows is coming that he shouldn't have

my search of my ladder history brought up 3 replays. in none of them was he doing things like look at my base through fog or anything else i would consider obvious signs of hacking.

replay 1, 28/07/2011: a 4v4, deltaV left at the 2 minute mark. no evidence of hacking

replay 2, 14/02/2012: i 10 pool ling all in, he scouts the pool and gas as they go down then leaves a probe at my natural and goes double gas > DT. probe at my nat makes me think he's not prod tab hacking or map hacking, as he would know if i expanded without the probe there, and bringing probe home to mine would be reasonable to do (ie, not considerred a tell he's hacking)

replay 3, 16/02/2012: http://drop.sc/118896
shakuras - i do a 1 base marine medivac all in. his total scouting consists of his probe seeing my 13 rax/14 gas

(after doing this weird thing where he scouts my ramp then checks the other base. i can understand doing that vs terran (which he would know with prod tab hacks), but PvP or PvZ (or PvT against someone who doesn't bother walling vs toss) there would be nothing at the ramp for him to see and he'd be better off spending 3 seconds walking the probe in further)

then a zealot seeing 3 marines at my ramp (and no expo/bunker on the low ground) just before stim finishes. (ie, he knows i have a barracks that has been making marines) production tab would reveal i have a reactoron my 2nd rax and a factory about to finish. his response is to throw down a collosus den and a third gateway, making colossus and stalkers. production tab reveals i am getting a techlab, 3 marines at a time and a starport, he expands. at this point his obs finishes (was supply blocked for ages so very late) and goes directly to my base (not worried about cloak banshees?) no further analysis is possible as he can see everything i'm doing anyway.

how does a player with terrible macro get to high diamond doing shit like 1 base 3gate stalker+colossus, then expanding because he has 700 minerals, (almost totally) blindly?

if you assume he's not hacking, you can argue; he was planning to do a one base colossus all in (?) then decided not too (because he saw 3 marines and no expo on the low ground?) and expanded instead. OR he was doing a super safe expansion opening (?). both seem unlikely at high diamond level.

if you assume he has prod tab hack, you can argue; colossus are a response to seeing i'm going pure marine, no expansion is in response to seeing i haven't even started a CC on my high ground. he has the option of doing some sort of timing to punish my expansion, but decides against it when he realises i'm making tanks and a starport instead of a CC. instead he expands, knowing all he has to do to win is hold off my push and use his tech and income advantage to roll me in a macro game.

either way, his decision making in both games is so bad i don't want to use it as evidence against him.

tl;dr it wouldn't surprise me if he makes 4 cannons blindly every time he FFEs, need more replays if you want to accuse him of anything.
