I only played a game against him but I felt a little weird after this game.. so I checked the replay just to see why I lost and found some very strange stuff by him!
1. No drone scout. Initial Overlord does not scout my spawn location until later(my depot revealed it). Still, how risky is that?
*Also, ONE ling is sent straight to my base
2. Lair, Evo chamber started as my cloak started. Take into account he hasn't scouted my 2nd gas or my base at all.
***3.*** 8:00 He sends an overlord in and DOES NOT LOOK AT IT(look at player cam) and instead is dealing with the hellions in his base. However instantly he plants down two spores. He only looks at my base at 8:30
4. It seems rather suspicious that he hasn't scouted what I was going for(Thor Hellion - not very popular on GM) and yet was making the correct unit composition right from the start(Roach Muta Bane - once again not popular at all).
5. His SEVERE lack of scouting, getting the watchtower as a top GM zerg is very suspicious.14:23 he morphs banes and seems to be getting ready for an attack(pure units in production) just as I move out WITH 0 SCOUTING.
6. Attacks just as my thors were out of position clearing rocks.
95% a hacker
He plays rather similiar to FadeEvets imo. if someone else has replays against him i'd loev to analyze them.

No, not at all. I see no indication of any kind of hacking or cheating.
All due respect to you so I'll go though my reasoning.
1) You have only played him once. Luck still plays a factor in all games and anything that may seem a bit lucky could just be that, lucky. You would need at least 4 more games before you could draw any conclusions.
2) The overlord thing did seem a bit suspect but vsing Terran you don't want to fly your first OL into his base for fear of losing it. He was keeping it there to scout later.
3) Failed bunker rush... what would you think would come after that? Cloaked Banishes Zerg deal with this all the time. It's a natural precaution. If he put down 3 at each base and got some hydras then it would be curious but not just 1 at each base. That's just standard practice.
4) He has seen many Hellions and many Banishes but very few Marine. With the OL scout at about 8 he doesn't see any attachment to the one barracks that you have. He is just going for the standard counter. He is directly countering what he has seen.
5) There was hardly that many banes. They have to morph sometime don't they? Just lucky. And why wouldn't he prepare the rest of his forces for a surround?
6) Only 2 of your Thors were out of position for a full 30 seconds. I'd say it's bad scouting on your part that you didn't know the attack was coming. If you scouted the front you would have heaps of time to get back.
All in all. You didn't play well enough that game... sorry. He beat you fair and square. I'm voting no hacker.
