How To catch a MASTERS Maphacker

[@LddStyx]

This guy has been hacking long enough that his MMR has stabilized on his "enhanced" level. That's why his fundamentals are bad and his responses are off - he isn't reacting like a Masters player with hacks, because he is a Diamond player with hacks.

[@kennyawho6444]

not even diamond. he doesn’t know how to wall properly against a ling rush and forgets to hold position. i would argue that he is plat at best

[@zerieth6620]

​@kennyawho6444 definitely. His wins come from macro games or cheeses most likely. The moment someone cheeses him his responses go out the window.

[@stevenhorstgeorg5728]

I mean i also fail to get a proper wall in every game and even Hero just forgets to set units on hold position in it. Also he atleast go for something like a build, plat players dont do that that often. I would argue for low diamond or at max high plat@@kennyawho6444

[@momchilandonov]

@@kennyawho6444 grandmasters also sometimes mess up walls tho. I watched tons of Mana challenges and his opponents sometimes blunder big time. I mean they fail defending cannon rushes in like 40-50% of the time it's hilarious :D.

[@nick1752]

Lancer also looked right at the medivac in the fog of war twice before he caught your tank push

[@mEtil5656]

I said that in the chat but harstem didn't notice it ._. Looked at the oracle before he killed it too when it was at the middle right of the map Edit: the oracle one happened at 4:15

[@noneyabusiness8786]

lol.. I need to read more before I post, I saw that too.

[@Ley-line]

This is honestly really interesting to watch for several reasons, and gives a deeper insight into how you analyze games from a new perspective (not necessarily aiming at the win). Also love the IODIS series, but this is refreshing. I see a lot of constructive comments, but I think it's good that you gave them a benefit of the doubt several times, and it's always easier to judge in hindsight. Still very entertaining to watch. Would love to see more, even if people aren't actually hacking! "Are they hacking, or do I suck?" when?

[@quineloe]

There's not much analysis going on here. It's literally just catching them looking at fog of war the moment an enemy unit moves towards him at that spot.

[@Arkir24]

Great series idea!

[@dustincintron1682]

This was fun as hell. I can imagine Harstem creating a new series called: "Is He Hacking?" or something, where you and the chat investigate replays together to determine if a guy is hacking or not. (There's probably not enough actual maphackers on the ladder for this to be viable but this was still fun)

[@VirtuelleWeltenMitKhan]

witch-hunt? Please don't

[@NanoLT]

@@VirtuelleWeltenMitKhan You can investigate hacking without it turning into a witchhunt. This is the internet, so it won't, but he didn't say anything about harassing the guy.

[@pablovirus]

Cheating in a videogame you're playing for fun is one of the lamest things imaginable lmao

[@mEtil5656]

Especially in sc2. Like what maphack really only helps you with not having to scout Edit: i dont think maphack makes you that much better. The main parts of sc2 are micro, macro and strategt. Sure, with a maphack you will have an advantage with strategy (you know their build, their rotations etc) and it probably helps a lot vs cheeses. But in a straight up macro game i dont think you could beat players that are that much better than you. Even if you see a push coming, you still need to micro. Even if you see what your opponent is doing, you still need to macro/react accordingly. I doubt a 5k player could beat a 6k player consistently if he had maphack. Or a diamond player a master player. Sure, you would have better odds vs people that are your skill but i really don't think it wouod change THAT much. It just doesn't help you with multitasking, decision making or micro

​@@dustincintron1682 that makes two of us

[@mazhiwezakizo3513]

Harstem initially denying the Maphack Claims, based entirely around Lancer making dumb decisions, forgetting that maphackers are typically going to be less skilled than their MMR would insinuate they would be. If anything, for me, a player making really bad plays and decisions, especially being as high as Lancer appears to be, would only be more sus than if he was also making smart decisions.

[@benjamindeh873]

Its wise of Harstem. Its better to assume innocence. As he said it himself, in a replay you can always see suspicious things which can be explained in a lot of ways. Random dumb luck is one of them.

[@SharienGaming]

@@benjamindeh873 agreed - once is random happenstance, twice might be dumb luck... three times is starting to establish a pattern and lets be real - we have seen harstem catch cheeses or other stuff through sheer dumb luck or actual mistakes where he went "what are these units doing over here - oh what is THAT?!" XD

[@thobrik]

​@@benjamindeh873of course you should assume innocence, but you also need to weigh evidence correctly even if it's weak evidence. Someone playing worse than their MMR suggests is, if anything, weak evidence in favour of it being a cheater. This is of course only circumstancial evidence, but it is evidence in the direction of guilt rather than a neutral or opposite direction.

[@Thund3rstorm]

It's an easy out to blame your loss on something outside your control like "the opponent was hacking" or "the race the opponent played is overpowered" and ignore the mistakes you made. And more often than not you'll lose because you made a mistake, not because the opponent was actually hacking or the game was imbalanced. That's the mindset you need if you want to improve yourself.

[@genesises]

@@Thund3rstormyes but not if you want to find out if people are cheating

[@miramosa7768]

For people having clocked Lancer at game 1, I think there are a few things going on that makes Harstem very reluctant to declare it immediately: A) Reputation. Pro player/content creator going around accusing people of maphacking is a bad look. I'm sure Harstem very much wants to avoid that. B) Tilting reasons. Sometimes people just get lucky. If you get it in your brain that 'maybe they're hacking', losses might get a lot more frustrating. I'm sure Harstem also wants to avoid that. I agree the first game is super sus. But I'm also not surprised that someone like Harstem needs firm proof to declare anything.

[@adamlouis3725]

then he shouldnt do videos where he tries to find hackers

[@Inbal_Feuchtwanger]

On the very last game he also pulled the probes before the drone was even in vision.

[@ledrash6079]

8.27 --> Is your medivac there? I would think so. This guy is definately a hacker. The reason why he is making strange moves is because he is probably a low master or diamond player that gets higher with his hacking. So a pro player like Harstem sees that as "strange moves", but he is just playing WAY above his paygrade :D

[@sakesaurus]

he has 3k mmr ahh mechanics

[@mEtil5656]

It is. Same with the oracle in game 1 before it got killed

[@meme40s]

100% this. Harstem thinks he reacts slow, and therefore isn't hacking, but the reason he responds slow is just because his APM and mechanics are poor.

[@mEtil5656]

4:15 is when it happened. Harstem missed it but you can see the oracle being very near to where looked

[@hanrockabrand95]

💯 He never had to learn the skills, so why should we be surprised he doesn't have them?

[@Entrophius]

I think it's very strange to expect people to actually make good decisions with full information if they make terrible decisions with partial information.

[@filipbitala2624]

Usually people who are hacking do so because they are trash, and them hacking doesnt unkake them being trash, you can still tell they are trash

[@Sontraid]

I love this! Please make this a series. Its so fun to watch you analyze this :)

[@vexienroe]

it's not everyday you catch a cheater with multiple replays to analyze

[@srmbbarocks]

Decided to take a break from my coding assignment , and played this guy felt extremely suspicious as he perfectly matched my army movements and dealt with runby's , still ended up winning but what are the odds that a few hours after playing vs him the captain does a video lo and behold! Quite the coincidence my captain!

[@mEtil5656]

I was screaming in the chat because he actually looked at the oracle AND the mine drop as well but harstem missed it

[@robert.valencia]

11:15 "He did a good job hiding it." Nope, he's just bad even with maphacks. You're assuming he would make good plays with free information but you're forgetting he wants free information because he can't make good plays. Edit: Harstem didn't mention some maphacking evidence. raf74hawk12 mentioned that at 0:25 the hacker clicks right in front of the stalkers after losing vision. Small thing but suspicious. defeqel6537 noticed at 4:00 the stalkers are moved into position right before the oracle shows up. mEtil5656 pointed out an oracle peek at 4:15. WillyMosesP mentioned the medivac peek at 8:25 and (same one) 8:30. Anyone notice any more examples?

[@lerby5512]

His point is - you can't blame someone for one random click especially as media person lol, that's why he found more replays. I actually played a while ago and scouted terans drop with xelnagas tower after which he said that i'm cheater and then predicted every single move that i did and just destroyed me. And i bet he was thinking like "everyone is cheating so i will too" about himself, don't be that man.

yep.. that's the only positive thing about cheaters... they cheat because they're objectively terrible at the games they play. They'll give you a crutch, but they'll never replace skill. Sadly, that incompetence sometimes gives them the appearance of luck in the moment, which means they get to stay in circulation for way longer than they'd otherwise be. If he was afk for some reason, I might buy the whole "my cat jumped on my desk" excuse if provided, and ONLY if the mouse didn't drag the camera all the way to the middle of the map where a proxy just happens to be. At most it might have gotten bumped to your third or fourth base or one of the extreme corners, maybe a camera location you hotkeyed. May lancer get their ban quickly, they've certainly earned it.

the guy has 1 play style, make basic units and hold. he can just defend and maphack your attacks, due to travel time and successful defense being compounding, that results in wins over time. he doesnt need to know advanced strategies, or try to figure out how to counter every build or play, he just relies on having knowledge of your movements/positions and tries to be ready. hes caught off gaurd in rush games probably because he doesnt look at his mini map that often, to react to a rush properly. even if hes maphacking. anyone whos a casual player understands mini map blindness. his hacks have made him not improve that aspect of looking at the minimap constantly, he just needs to notice when big blips are coming his way. but in mid to long games, just knowing where every attack comes from, should be more than enough to translate to wins, with most basic unit comps. hes probably been relying on hacks for so long that the process of learning the game mechanics probably are asking too much of him.
