Ok, sorry if this comes off across as rude but....
You guys must not play the game at the same level as I do. I've played this game since it came out and have some very high accomplishments. I play in leagues (clans vs clans at a high level), was ranked 1st in 2v2 arranged team, etc. I will try to reply to most of you...
1) Why not posted in the Warcraft forums? Because absolutely NO moderators respond, nobody listens, nobody cares... it is full of flames, profanity, random stuff both rude and annoying and most of the time not even Warcraft related... check it out for yourself
2) Blizzard is no longer excellent at keeping their online play fair and hack free. No updates, no bannings, no patch, no nothing has taken place in over a year. They do not care about you as a Warcraft 3 player any longer, they want your money on WoW or SC2. I never thought Blizzard would be like that. It is unfortunate that I keep getting matched up vs cheaters... it happens in 50% of the games on US East.
3) I realize he's not obligated to reply, just wondering if he has any insight as to why
4) I am 100% sure they maphacked. It's not about luck man. Incase you weren't aware, since Blizzard hasn't done anything about hacks for atleast a year now... (no bannings or updates to Warden - the 'hack' detector)... there are now tie-hacks (which can be used in ladder games so no change on record occurs but game ends), disc-hacks (which drop a player) and maphack (self-explanatory). Anyways, after playing somebody, I can tell whether or not they map hack 75% of the time based on the way they play. For definite proof (and in the case of the game I lost in the tournament finals) one way you can check is by watching the replay. You watch from their point of view... and you can clearly see that they click your units and buildings even though they are out of sight range... as in fog of war should NOT allow them to be able to see them.. but since there is a red circle around your unit or building it means they hack since they're able to click them. There are so many other ways... not scouting and going directly to base.... In this specific match they fast teched tier 3 for knights/bear/mountain giants and my partner got master banshees for possession.. and instead (without scouting) they switched to dryads and spell breakers making the banshees absolutely useless. There's no way that is "chance" or them getting "lucky". Most of the time if you think they hack these days, they do. Blizzard hasn't changed anything and hacks are undetectable since they haven't done anything. They just don't care at all... it's pretty pathetic and sad. If you would like to see what I mean, here is the replay file. Just load it, watch from their point of view.. take off fog of war and notice that no scouting takes place by them at all and yet early on in the game they click our buildings and units... = hacks! The replay can be found here:

The worst part about it is if you download the tiehack and keep it turned on... but don't use it... you can't be tie hacked yourself. There is no mac version of this tie hack (just like there is no mac version of any of the others) and so I have no defense for it. What's really messed is this... If I'm playing a 2v2 game and my partner has the anti-tiehack on, I will get disc'd but he won't. The other team who hacked is then able to CONTROL both of our armies, build units and use Town Portalss etc. It's so messed. B.Net is a mess....
Sorry for posting the rant on MR
