Looks like he was aiming them for where the CC was, supported by his camera angle... was changing the angle he was going in. I don't see a problem with sending them to the back of base (I do that with mutas for some reason, hey they can fly fast) but the timing was suspicious. I would bet no, but it's possible (if he saw them on the minimap he didn't look at the attackers so he didn't know the mutas were screwed because the attackers were ravens)

[Ketroc21]

@TheOJDrinker A lot of zergs I face will mass up mutas in response to scouting my ravens. Raven knowledge is low with zerg players :). All 3 raven abilities work very well vs mutas.

What level was he on ladder Ket?

[Ketroc21]

@hawkeye019 It was a public custom game vs a player who was platinum on 1v1 ladder.

[Preevailer]

how are you not a betting man? aren't you a professional poker player?

[TheZoonib]

He was map hacking. A zerg always wants to be one base up on Terran. He didn't scout your second and double expanded. No good zerg would do that on Terran without knowing he was safe. He moved exactly to where your attack was coming. He moved to where your orbital was moving twice. No one is that lucky.

[Bobbles8714]

Everything else was kinda... meh in terms of proof. For one thing, it's not uncommon for lower level zerg players to get roaches to defend and go straight into mutas. That I understand.

However, as you noticed, that muta move from attack to defense was the biggest give away. There was no way he knew you even had a starport (of course, he can assume at that timing), but the straight bee line motion and lack of OL scouts is pretty much sure thing that he's maphacking.

[Globulerougeetblanc]

Maphack is the only way to scout for zerg :)

[hitmanjake]

BTW it can be hard to detect a good Terran map hacker....

A good Terran map hacker will check out your base/units with cam lock enabled, if he sees things interesting, he'll drop a scan, then start building hard counter units, just so you won't get suspicious in the replay.

[hitmanjake]

Map Hacker~~ So obvious~~

Did you know that latest maphacks come with cam lock function?

Before you take a peek at your enemy's base, leave your camera on your own base, enable camera lock, then go examine the enemy's base/units, disable camera lock when you are done....

Go through the replay again, look for moments in the game where his camera focuses in an area for 10~20 game seconds without doing anything, 100% he's checking out your base...

[hobowithagrenade]

Lol he was obv hacking. And you still dominated him!! Nice bro

[Lbolting005]
