I'm going through this replay and analysing for chobo's benefit, because if he tried to explain himself it would be shut down immediately by everyone. I'm personally undecided if he's hacking or not.
The way that a game appears depends on the viewer's mindset. As many of you believe he is hacking, you will see these moves as evidence. As I'm doing this to defend him, I don't. If anyone else is truely looking for the truth, watch this replay and the others yourself.
ok delete, first of all ur a protoss u wont understand TvZ and you could have done a better job defending him, for example
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.
yep just checking it nothing sus here
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.
yeah alot of terrans double check to see real quick what they missed
9:55 - 9:56 : Sends rally point from Starport(Viking in production) straight to the overlord on the right hand side of his base,
just a random movement decides to go right first, then left cause he felt like it
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.
the smart thing to do, obviously. i wouldn't go for the right one straight away though because its a little too sus if u kill 2 straight away just like that. (it wasnt gonna scout anything anyway)
10:42 - 10:47 : Rally point of Viking goes directly aimed through 4 overlords on the map.
luck / coincidence again or whatever you wanna call it.
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.
obviously you would do this, but doesnt explain why he never moves his hellions unless he needs to and everytime he does it does something. same as his vikings moves them 3 times whole game and they do wonders
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.
starsense/luck/coincidence of course again.
12:26 - 12:29 : Selects Viking and redoes his attack rally straight through 2 overlords on the map.
nothing weird here, just good pathing top tier viking control in world for sure
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.
yep his vikings fly past it, so now i have even more reason to check it out, even though i cant see anything and its 3 seconds late, same as earlier in the game its always reasonable to check through fog of war at times. (its also unreasonable to constantly be using the screen lock)
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.
they call this the gin timing i guess. but yeah nothing but well preparation from a terran player nothing ordinary
13:22 - 13:30 : Controls his hellions and positions them perfectly way before he even sees any lings on the minimap.
he is good at using his hellions all game
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.
standard terran play. definitely nothing wrong here. just good overall decision making
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.
good game sense, he cant afford to make mutas anyway so even if he does have it i'll just gamble and lose a few scvs ive ruined his economy anyway. ( tthis is more of a tendency thing, as he only scans when he needs to and doesn't if you watch his other replays )
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.
again, what can i say best viking control in world
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.
starsense. nothing else to do at that point in the game than clicking on a scv
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.
gotta do a little dance everytime i rally my medivacs half way cause i can its awesome, or maybe im just avoiding the creep or something like that, makes sense to me
19:39 - 19:40 : He directly pinpoints his army movement to where the zergs army is just infront of.
anyway my point here is, you can have any reasoning you want for why he did such things etc, maybe he just had a good run and a great game and never did anything wrong.
but you have to add all the pieces together, first he never does well at lans, he only does well in online tournaments
2nd he was gold in season 1 then became gm in season 2 (sign of something too perhaps )
3rd he has terrible mechanics but the best decision making and tactics ive seen (sign of something)
4th he plays perfectly without ever needing any information like for examples,
almost never taking watchtowers for vision
never scanning and when he does he sees spires or greater spires so he can put down 3 starports at the exact timing he needs to
has perfect viking usage
positions his units perfectly
like someone this good and doesnt even play much do u think thats right?
ppl get good because of the dedication and the amount of hard work they put into playing the game
yet he claims to never do that, nothing makes sense to me, too many signs leaning towards something suspicious
