Hacker or Pro? You decide!

So today I get two new friend requests from people's who's name I don't recognize and I accept. One comes online. Now since I use the SC2 broadcast system like a Twitter for top players I don't want just anyone to be on my /f l.

So I kindly ask the gentleman who he is:
You: whos this?

ZergSwarm: WC3 pro, now SC2
just looking for some practice

Now I get these all the time and 99.99% of the time i delete them and kindly explain I am not the right person for practice. But this one caught my eye. While I know the general scene in WC3 I will be the first to admit I know the mainstream WC3 guys like Moon for the most part and that's it. So being a tournament organizer I would love to grab a former WC3 pro and help get him started.

You: ahh im not a good practice partner. tt. i spend all my time organizing my events not actually playing. what was ur name in WC3?

ZergSwarm: TeRRoR.KhAoZ

So I google his name and it was at that moment I realized I had a TL blog that didn't suck in the making.

Time to blog bitches!

What I saw on the very second entry under this on google was headlined with "[Outdated] WUtil drophack [1.24c]"

I decide to venture into this thread and use CTRL+F (best feature ever) to find his name. The following was the post:

I just got banned from this stupid fake hack. My account leavinhere @ lordaeron / us west was 500 wins 80% on west wtf man . PROFILE IT IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME

WHY WOULD YOU GUYS POST FAKE HACKS. I HATE THIS

Hmmmm. I'm no police detective but I am beginning to think this fine professional gamer was nothing more than a professional hacker (actually not even pro as quoted above).

So I whisper him back and he gives me a quick reply as detailed below:

You: o ok
right on
well u were a pro or hacker in wc3 inm confused?

ZergSwarm: pro
hacker?
wtf?

I post http://www.d3scene.com/forum/warcraft-3-hacks/35186-outdated-wutil-drophack-1-24c.html］the following link[/url].

The convo as follows goes:

ZergSwarm: no thats not me

You: [thycus voice]the internet never forgets brother[/thycus voice]

ZergSwarm: lol....
yaeh and im sure you can find people named grubby on that same forum sir

You: o ic

ZergSwarm: you see what?

You: so if ur popular enough to have people tryign to be you how come i can't seem to find anything about you besides ur pages on various forums?

ZergSwarm: i didnt play enough
but i was easily one of the top undeads in the US

You: what team did you play for?

ZergSwarm: i didnt play for a team
like i said i didnt play enough
didnt have enough time
when i did play, i got round 5 in ZOTAC

So by now my bs meter is off the charts. At this point he is basically a pro ladder player that is on no team. But he is popular enough for people to try and imitate his name (exact same way too) and post as him.

So I look through his google history a bit deeper (didn't take long). By page 2 there is his posts on a pron forum but it's already starting to pick up random sites that have nothing to do with him. So looking further into his posts I see he was getting extra SC2 beta keys and selling them for $100. Real pro

Because this post needs more pictures

SO this is the point where I'm deciding if I want to push it or just leave it here and he chimes in with this:

ZergSwarm: practiced with all the top players, such as Moon, Grubby, Yaws, ThomasG
i was famous on battle.net....
home of the hackers

Now yet again I'm no WC3 expert but I know this is a lie. Turns out a have a few people on my staff that know more than me about WC3 and it's playerbase so I grab my phone and inform him of the following:

You: Ok lemme text Joseki real quick and get his 2 cents

ZergSwarm: joseki?
who's that?

You: a very experienced wc3 caster
member of my staff
see i run iCCup TV

QUICK! To the Batphone!

Now due to the current tornado warning going on and the immanent loss of power it's time to make this post a little shorter than I had hope. Seriously the siren is going off right now! SHIT!

ZergSwarm: i was never casted on
he wont know me

You: than there is no way and hell that is not you in that post....

ZergSwarm: look you dont have to believe me

You: im just saying

ZergSwarm: ive never seen that forum in my life
the assumption i came to

You: raelcun dosent get ppl tkaing his name and he has tons of loyal fans

So at this point the guy is trying to mis-strew (is that a word?) what I'm saying...

ZergSwarm: you are not making any sense
anyway i added you because i thought you were someone else
good bye

You: lol peace hacker.

ZergSwarm: i dont hack
faggot

You: lol it's always good to beat someone so bad in a debate they have to go to insults. congrats sir

ZergSwarm: you beat me so bad
you are so right
by claiming i have thousands of fans
good job
repeat what i say more, sir
fuck off
regards,

You: I never said you have fans
I said Raelcun does
ur not Raelcun

ZergSwarm: im never heard of raelcun
after playing wc3 for 7 years
gg?

You: thats a shame son. u should know the lay of the land b4 u come claming to be a pro (i meant the SC2 lay of the land). and there is no ladder "pros".

ZergSwarm: i didnt say i was a ladder pro
wow you will be blocked and reported soon
stop contacting me

You: Alright. L8r d00d.

You spent way more time on him than I would have. Great inter-tective work, though.

I like how he says "Stop contacting me" when he contacted you first.

Though i like the intention of getting hackers, i don't think you are right. Maybe he is a hacker, maybe he's not.

In my opinion you were just being a douchebag.
