Anyone else hear

"Bite my ass, my nigga" in the intro?

On a side note, that dude is a punk. I would knocked some heads off for touching my computer. You just DON'T touch a man's computer. Ever.

My prediction is a lot of protoss players will get reported because the opponent doesn't understand that the observer is not a map hack but part of the game.

I've been accused of that quite a few times. What's worse is that when the flood of CE pre-order beta participants came rushing in, there were quite a few people who thought I was map hacking because I controlled a Xel'Naga watch tower near them.

people accused me of that a lot ''before'' they started banning hackers...
the observer so damn powerful...
as are the watchtowers but i'm starting to dislike how much range they actually cover as it's ridiculous in the smaller match when i can spot everything with 1 unit in the middle

Blazur laying on the burn. XD

I despise cheaters with a burning passion.

That was pretty funny, but I feel sorry for the guy. A few hundred dollars down the hole.

i dont he just got what was coming for him and no one else that was at that lan will ever dear to cheat again works very well id say.

blizzard should ban the copy of the game for first time cheaters and ip ban and account ban them after they get busted the second time.

considering how serious many people take this game and all the money and fame involved on the top of the rankings. id say its very important to make it hurt

In some games with higher levels of play, you'll be fighting over that watch tower as if it was an expansion.

Aww my stamp was unique for awhile...

lol, in games with LOWER levels of play, it allows you to CRUSH anyone who ignores the watch towers.

they should require that people WATCH THE REPLAY before reporting

yes but i'm not inclining that it isn't powerful...
i'm saying that it feels too powerful and not very fun to me in every map...

but i digress... this is off topic...

the hackers are gone, we can live in peace!
