New series: was this a hacker or does he suck?

[@QuasarGamers]

would have been nice to go back and watch the replay at 4-8x speed with full vision so we could look for army mirroring

[@zey2bme]

There was some suspicious tracking outside of what Harstem pointed out, but this video was 100% inconclusive. I really wouldn't be confident calling this guy a hacker unless I saw 5+ other games where the tracking and "coincidental unit pick offs" were just as frequent. You just can't make a hacker claim on so little evidence.

[@cobble3231]

something you didnt mention is the complete lack of scouting. Past the first probe and adept, there is absolutely ZERO scouting done by the protoss. Not even a single observer built or stalkers across the map or anything. Doesnt know if its 3rax, doesnt know if its 3cc, doesnt know if its mech or bio, 2 base all in or whatever, and still does the (somewhat) correct macro choice every single time. Colossus vs bio, 4th base vs not 2 base all in. The craziest thing to me is still ZERO observer the whole game. He's not just blind, hes 10 meters under the ground trying to spot an eagle, and yet somehow everything works out in his fashion and he easily crushes djorjx

That message doesnt look like quenya, or sindarin. Not sure though, as i do not speak the many elvish languages.

Harstem, love the content, but for the love of all that is, please just watch the replay from the hackers perspective with FULL VISION. By watching their perspective without full vision, you are limiting yourself to only seeing things that are so weird that they grab your attention.

I don't have commentary about alleged hacking in this episode, but I like the evolution and vibe of this series. I was a little worried in the first episode when both player's account names got used, but from then on the accused has always been anonymized as needed. You try to give the benefit of the doubt when you can and episodes like this show it's not a witchhunt - some people just play weird. Only the most handsome Protoss StarCraft2 KZbinr could be so incredible as to make a series like this.

I found the total lack army movement that outside of the slight tracking ones very suspicious. I could buy him getting lucky and mirroring Terran correctly if there were times when he did it incorrectly, especially as some of the movements down to the fourth were never completed, to match Terran not committing to the attack. That and the precog stalker warp in would have me bet hacker.

[@htomerif]

How hard is it to just find more replays from this person? It feels sus enough to to pull another replay and check it.

[@irathil]

Not having solid proof if he is or isn't a hacker is completely different than calling him NOT being a hacker. That was very very bold call after this game. Again, you overlook a lot of stuff.

[@cleanerwhite9470]

Its been 5 years and I still cant figure out if Hamster is a real person or just Harstem being schizophrenic.

Hot take on the emperors invisible clothes: There was no salesman. He didn't feel like getting dressed because it was a really hot day and knew his court was too stupid to contradict him.

[@azhidahaki3082]

These are just all the things that I, personally, found to be a bit odd, for whatever my opinion is worth :P (including the things that Harstem points out himself)

[@howlingwolf5213]

I hate to say it but I think you overlooked how often he was tracking the army. He has the knowledge and skill of a high level but without the vision he shouldn't be able to track the army as cleanly as he did. For example at

I enjoyed the explanation of the thought process behind the actions of the players. Solid and insightful presentation of the ‘why’ behind the ‘what’.

[@Dupingmaster]

For that lib.. What are chances hes gonna warp the stalker in the main where the lib was going? He has never left extra stalkers at his main/expos to prevent air unit harass before or after that situation.. That was the ONLY case. He F2 and ball his whole army, didn't even split for vision.

[@a4bcaboose]

Him killing the single marine and the cyclone is extremly weird. And the single warp in stalker before the lib is even more weird
