KingSurf banned for maphacking

Sennheiser Communications

Please note: This issue has been resolved, and KS has been unbanned and whitelisted again. For further information see the news : http://www.mymym.com/en/news/12321.html 

Sad and disturbing at the same time, we are faced with the difficult mission to announce such an ugly thing to the dota community.

After days of analyzing and debates, we came to the shocking conclusion that Malaysia Kingsurf used map hack in their game against Greece 1P in the Playoff preliminaries of the 9th MYM Prime Defending. First the Greek players discovered two moments when their enemies clicked on heroes while being in fog. We took the replay and analysed it on all sides, we came across another map hack prove.

We will now state the facts:

In minute 33:23 Malaysia Ks-papaxiong (Atropos) clicks the enemy warlock while he's hidden in the fog after a 5 vs 4 battle lost by Ks.

Warlock enters fog (he wasnt clicked before)


Warlock is in fog


Ks-papaxiong clicks on Warlock while he is in fog


In minute 40:11 Malaysia Ks-MiKeBz (Mirana) clicks enemy spectre at the secret shop to see what item he buys.

Spectre enteres fog (not clicked)


Spectre is in fog


Ks-MiKeBz clicks on Spectre while he is in fog

Min 44:35 Malaysia Ks-MiKeBz (Mirana) clicks enemy hero Venomancer while in fog.

Venomancer entered fog (not clicked)


Ks-MiKeBz clicks on Venomancer while he is in fog


We came across many suspicious actions of Malaysia Ks in this game, which were to us enough proof that they have indeed used a map hack. An example is Mirana´s action around minute 54, arrowing Spectre in the forest (hero hidden there, and after almost a minute out of enemy vision).

hero clicks in fog happen as a result of a replay bug also
so the screenshots aren't saying anything

but maybe you're right ;)

Why do people at that level use hacks? I mean come on, it's most likely that you get caught at some point + playing with mh doesn't show people the real skill of the player. I thought KS was a cool clan, not anymore. Shame on those guys.

Will they investigate did they map hack before ? like in last MYM pride, cause having hackers listed as the third clan there is not cool...it's like taking medals in athletics cause of doping.,..

AFAIK Ks is playing on a internet cafee... how are they maphacking from there? Imo the evidence doesn't seem very conclusive. There is usually a ward present, or they are just exiting fog. I really doubt they are maphacking...

Quite sad, but a good job by Sirro and Co, If DotA wants to become a serious part of the gaming community it is neccessary to show, that we are not a bunch of cheating funmap players!!!

Any comments from Ks? Have they admitted that they used maphack or do they refuse it? It's really sad when top teams need to cheat :(.. And is this really the only way to prove maphack? Maybe other teams are using it, but don't click the other heroes in fog because they know it will bust them? How can we know? :(

Can someone test if this is the thing, cause in fact you are right that the screenshots shown are all when they are just leaving the fog.. I have tried several times to right click heroes just before they blink and i could then see the red circle in the fog AFTER they had blinked.. Please guys, i hope you have checked this thing through before you accused them

Hopefully Ks explain themselves. I have went to a internet cafe before, and there were a pile of 3rd party programs. Then again such a big known cafe like Kingsurf, i really doubt they used maphack.

you guys should really test it first before coming to such a conclusion.
