@Kibbles, so true. I remember back in the CS days everytime some one shot me, my gut reaction would be H4CKx0r!
Difference is, now we have replays. I had no idea this guy was hacking until I looked over the replay to see where I went wrong.
The scans, the camera lock, and the zooming, are all clear indicators of a Terran map hacking. If you know what to look for it's rather easy to tell. He's also magically gone from bronze to top diamond in a few seasons? His 4v4 has ALWAYS been bronze/silver, and now hes magically diamond? Suspicious.
See for yourself.
http://drop.sc/198999Scouting - His first scouting is done by way points while not looking into the FOW, assuming he uses the minimap to scout. At 4:28 he changes this pattern by actually moving into the FOW to give his units an order NOT from the minimap. This is big indication that screen lock has been activated/deactivated, but not evidence on it's own.
6:24 - Scan. He waited like 3 seconds after selecting his command center(staying over top of it) to scan. A clear indicator of maphacking, is when the scan goes off, then IMMEDIATELY, their camera goes there. This is because the fog of war won't show camera movements. When the area becomes revealed, the camera jumps there because he's looking there, and there is no more fog of war. You could also assume this is part of his plan to throw me off, by scanning my ebay, and claiming I'm hacking and knows he's going cloaked banshee. Which, any decent player beating a diamond would know that if hes opening FE he couldn't possibly have cloak by now, let alone banshees.
6:30-6:32 - Watch here, as you can see his camera zooms in a touch. This is a side effect of a bad hacker. One of the hot keys for a popular hack is the middle mouse button (don't know which one, but look it up if you want). Idiots will go to hit the middle mouse button and accidentally scroll. The hacker that was caught and was going to MLG but backed out, did this, but stayed zoomed in for a whole 3 minutes. Fail.
9:00 - Another mysterious scan. See point above. Was camera locked over time of his CC that wasn't even an orbital.
11:15 - Another mysterious scan to see my army is out. No Terran spends mules every 2 minutes to just check on my army location. I took the watch tower, OBVIOUSLY my army won't be there. I'll either be attacking or taking a third base.
11:47 (and various other times) - Every time he goes into the FOW, to check what I'm doing, his camera locks here, in between his main and nat. Why here? If he double taps his hot keys, they'd go to his CC's, his production, or his army. Not some random place over his depots. There is a barracks there, but if you double tap his hot keys in the replay, it focuses on a different barracks. Yes this has been tested.
12:57 - Here he magically is able to go into the fog of war again, to scan. Since he killed off my army, it's easy to assume the camera lock isn't enabled at this point.
13:20 - He magically knew I hadn't taken a third base in the normal third location? Almost every person would send a marine up there to make sure there wasn't some kind of flank. Unfortunately this is circumstantial and on its own wouldn't hold anything. With the earlier evidence it's peculiar.
