When multiple people already think someone hacks based off their online experiences with someone (not too common in my circle) as well as his lack of LAN qualifications based off references from
Xavi: “ loses to nobodies at perth LANs”
Yang: “[2:26:57 AM] yang: he barely plays and when he shows up to lan he loses, then plays in the masters cup after weeks of not playing and has perfect decision making? seems suss”
A discussion between us followed by the analysis of some his replays we all came to the same agreement. Here is our evidence. He is damned in our eyes already but we will present our evidence for you to make your own judgements. If you’re going to respond to this please do so objectively and having actually watched all the games in order to make an educated decision. This level of analysis is necessary as this is extremely serious in our eyes.
I’ll be analysing his tvps vs Yang and tvts vs myself from the previous masters cup ( a series in which a TA member notified me he was listed as a spectator in the streams observers)
Mafia is analysing his tvz’s vs Enderr and Targa is analysing his tvz’s vs Mafia. These are the only reps we have looked at so far.
Targa's Analysis
Hacker analysis by TargA, Mafia vs asgchobo series.
5:05 stares a long time at the overlord that spots the proxy raxes
knows that he has to commit, if not it will look too obvious.
6:12 sees 2 spines and 2 queens, pulls back everything
we had a discussion with terrans and zergs, if you see 2 spines and 2 queens you still commit cause this usually means the zerg has no units, and 20 scvs 14 marines kills queens without energy and spines really fast. At this point Mafia was pumping out lings and had speed almost finished. Chobo did not see the lings.
7:05 kinda suspect that he keeps calm and and doesnt raise his supply depots when the ling counter attack is coming. Imo, he knows exactly how many lings are coming. He even keeps one of his raxes lifted, when in reality a ton of lings and banelings could be coming and that would mean game over.
11:50 takes the 6o clock expand, cause he knows that mafia is making infestors, chobo has 2 engineering bays but no turrets, still havent scanned or scouted mafias base.
12:50 lifts up his wall, makes reactors, and takes the 4th. He has no idea what Mafia is doing ( this is also the timing where a ling bling muta attack would happen) , chobo has no tanks and is sitting calm with his marines.
He also moves his marines down, still no map control/ vision.
14:00 Was gonna send 2 drop ships to mafias main,but knows that mafia has that covered with overlords, he sends them to mafias 5th that was about to be made, he sends the drop so mafias overlord doesnt see it.
15:10 mafias great spire is building, chobo ( still has no map vision or knows what mafia is doing) scans mafias main, and then his natural. Right after he drops 3 starports. Imo he does this so it doesnt look suspect.
16:45 stims a bunch of units to avoid mafia burrowing his ling at the 5th base. Makes a turret too to avoid burrowed infestors.
18:20 hits the money scan right on top of all of mafias unit and spines(3rd time he scanned this game)
19:10 chobo has a sensor tower, mafia backs, chobo follows the units in the fog, moves the vikings to kill the broods and then scans. (thats not how its supposed to be done)
from 19:30 – 20:30 he has no map control even though he could easily claim it with marines (in theory) then he drops two scans sees everything.
21:20 repositions his units when mafia is moving out, doesnt spread his units at all even though there are red dots on the mini map from the sensor towers ( I would be ******* afraid of the infestors)
after the big fight, keeps making vikings ( normally a zerg would tech switch to ultras, mafia had a large bank and making more broods/ corruptors is not normal)
25:00 hits money scan
rest of the game: lots of money scans, hes always controlling his units when mafia attacks. (When I watch the best terrans in the world play they are almost never controlling their units when zerg attacks, always a delay in reaction, this guys reacts before mafia attacks)
proxy 2 rax, mafia sees the 2nd scv, all though mafia doesnt react to it, most terrans at this point would abort the proxy 2 rax and instead do a proxy 1 rax pressure.
3:50 he pulls his units back before he sees the drones coming
His army positioning is constantly weird, most likely knows exactly when the lings come out.
he was gonna do some crazy bad all in, but mafia sends in the overlord and scouts it. He aborts the all in, builds 2 !!! command centers without knowing what mafia is doing, he has no map control even tho he has hellions ( he has them idle at the defensive watch tower) He knows that mafia took gas, so in theory, 30 lings could be in coming.
7:11 stops making hellions, only has 3. floats factory away from reactor.
8:25 after barely watching over his hellions, mafia sends out 2 lings, he doesnt hunt down the lings with his hellions right away, instead he sends 5 marines to block it at the rocks of the 4th base. He keeps a few marines at his natural ramp to kill the other ling. He also moves back his hellions and at this point mafia has 33 lings.
At the same time he rallies the viking directly to the overlord hiding behind mafias natural.
9:40 scans mafias base, sees the spire. (remember how he didnt do this game 1? ) He also started his engineering bays right after mafia started his spire.
During all this time he sends his viking around the map, always finding a overlord.
13:20 moves his marines to kill mutas before he could see them
At the same time, he clumps up all his units, he has no unit spread and his only map vision is the defensive tower, which does not give u enough time to spread out ur tanks (which are unsieged) and marines if mafia decided to do a 3 base baneling ling muta push. Instead hes calm as ice.
~14 min mark he loads up 2 medivacs full of marines, he first rallies them to mafias 3rd, after mafia runs past all of chobos units, he decides to chase ( mark of a terrible player that knows exactly what ur doing) and send his 2 medivacs to mafias 4th which he did not know of.
~15 min mark he pushes the 4th, sieges his tanks up at a weird postionings ( because mafia is about to attack)
He continues to rally units, at a point where most terrans would pick up their units and back off, but during the game mafia has been sloppy with injects and therefor have no larva to remax even though hes banking quite a bit.
After killing the 4th and backing up, clearing up the counter attack, he moves around a bit, and mafia has all his units in the middle. He loads up 2 medivacs send them to mafias main, he hits a money scan again, moves up to mafias old 4th. Unloads medivacs in main, and moves his camera back to his main force when mafia decides to attack. He also sent a small force of marines and a tank to kill mafias new 4th.
Targa: In summary I am 100% sure that chobo maphacks and production tab hacks, it is evident in his scans, his army positioning and how he plays
Mafia's Analysis
ZvT Replay Enderr vs Chobo [Ohana LE]
7:03 - 7:04 : Looks at Bunker ready to salvage and leaves before queens even get there to attack.
7:40 - 7:42 : Looks at Enderr's base through fog of war, see's the gas, but moves his camera up more to make sure he saw everything.
9:55 - 9:56 : Sends rally point from Starport(Viking in production) straight to the overlord on the right hand side of his base,
9:57 - 9:58 : Realises that theres another overlord at the bottom left of his base which is closer and would scout his 3rd command centre plus tech so changes his rally to kill that one instead.
10:42 - 10:47 : Rally point of Viking goes directly aimed through 4 overlords on the map.
11:28 - 11:29 : Is planning on taking his 3rd, looks at his third realises there's a ling there and kills it with his hellions before lifting his cc.
11:47 - 11:50 : Notices how he sends his hellions straight but immediately realises theres 1 ling coming to the 4th base so changes the direction of his hellions to kill it.
12:26 - 12:29 : Selects Viking and redoes his attack rally straight through 2 overlords on the map.
12:45 - 12:50 : Notices 1 ling attacking his 3rd, immediately realises my opponent knows I have a 3rd, what's he gonna do is he gonna attack me? So moves his camera to the watchtower where Enderr's units are to see if hes in threat.
13:00 - 13:07 : Notice how Enderr has some lings on the map moving to his 3rd and he puts down 3 supply depots conveniently to prevent runbys from happening.
13:22 - 13:30 : Controls his hellions and positions them perfectly way before he even sees any lings on the minimap.
14:40 - 15:00 : Moves out of his base with his army, but purposely leaves some marines behind and rallys to his natural because he knows that there are units positioned at the 4th.
16:00 : This far into the game hes had 3 Orbitals and a viking has not scouted his opponents base to see if hes going mutas at all, what kind of retarded terran doesn't afraid of mutas makes 0 turrets. At this point all he has seen on the minimap is 2 hatcheries 1 pool and 1 extractor.
16:46 - 16:48 : The 3rd time he selects his viking all game, his rally pathing goes straight through 2 overlords and 3 zerglings(which are the only things on the whole right hand side of the map) pretty godly starsense.
16:54 - 16:59 : Notice how he selects his SCV because there are 40 zerglings at his 4th he looks there before knowing theres anything there.
17:18 - 17:24 : Notice how his 2 medivacs are already rallied but because he realises he's flying past either an overlord or a zergling he is planning to change the direction of his medivacs but then once they get closer he realises it's only a zergling so he's just ignoring it and going back on course.
19:39 - 19:40 : He directly pinpoints his army movement to where the zergs army is just infront of.
Rossi's Analysis
G1 yang vs asgchobo bel’shir beach
This game is relatively clean. I can’t really critique this game too much as its too short and he simply hits a strong timing. He plays extremely confidently this game and his build wins it for him.
G2 yang vs asgchobo cloud kingdom
At 4:30 after staring at his scv for a few seconds he beautifully times his scv to go to the side and attempt to enter yangs base completely bypassing the stalker that proceeds to exit through the front to the tower. Could certainly be a coincidence.
7:50ish
Finishes his wall perfectly in time for yangs offensive 3 gate pressure, Suss but still perfectly ok.
9:50ish Accuracy of rallies for finding both pylons is extremely suspect. He even neglects to scout the entire area fully. Raises my eyebrows
12:04 very suspect glance through fog of war, then proceeds directly to the 3rd of yangs
Note: (This guy really doesn’t like to keep watch towers)
Other than that, relative low key and normal game progresses and he proceeds to win comfortably.
Tvt game 1 vs myself korhal compound
Neither of us scout, quite normal. He does not attempt
He does not scan… quite abnormal.
6:40 + He sends his banshee towards the main. From my view I am positioning marines in attempt to be prepared for any drop or banshee shenanigans. He immediately however changes decision and decides to go for a runaround attacking from a rather obscure angle. I’d say this attack was quite brave.
The way he attacks my base is quite pre-determined… he could simply be assuming I have a expansion however. He is playing incredibly blind nonetheless.
10:15 that is some sick turret timing, well positioned too!
Still no towers and very little scouting by 13 minutes.
The rest of the game proceeds fairly normally. Only other evidence is his rather suspect and confident unit movements as well as complete lack of tower grabbing which are prevalent throughout all his games.
Tvt game 2 vs myself on antiga shipyard
Chobo’s choice of build certainly confuses me this game. It is incredibly safe and definitely hard counters what I am attempting to do. (Raven vs first gas first cloak banshee) and is otherwise quite an uncommon build.
12 minutes very surprised at how he is confident to sit unsieged.
13:25 amazing scan directly on top of my army at the xel’naga tower. (EYEBROWS RAISED)
The game from here ends quite abruptly.
Rossi: I may appear to be nit-picking, but after looking at other games I feel these are the points where he has slipped up in his attempts to hide his rather concealed map hacks.
