Hi all, first post. Played some fairly strong opponents today, one 4 times GM and one masters (seemingly bugged masters, but past dia 1). We beat them, so I’m not here complaining after a loss. Just some weirdness I wanted to get the community’s take on.
Around 7 minutes in, alarm bells start going off, as things start getting suspicious. I’m seeing what looks like perfect scans to justify movement/reactions, and slightly weaker mechanics than they should have at that rank.
I watched the replay after the match with Rentine’s camera, and it’s pretty ridiculous. I can’t do justice to how perfect every scan was. Laser precision. Haven’t seen something quite like this in 1,000+ games. I understand scanning a bunch and getting lucky sometimes, but perfect scans were their *only* scans, as far as I can tell.
I come with a replay and time stamps of scans. Replay: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Pyrj_AyiLwUEmip1rXfZ2c5hIX51hz4z/view
6:20 non-suspicious scan on tech by the GM player Sight, sees phoenixes move out
7:46 masters player Rentine lands perfect scan on army in an odd spot as we move to attack. this is his army. note scan on our armies to the top right. fine. good game sense, or just nervous about getting collapsed on.
9:40 triple bunkers started, then a perfect scan on the army mid map
13:30 another perfect scan as carriers move to attack
16:00 - 16:15 huge terran army in a perfect position to kill my nat and workers at my third, leaves early, without killing the base, with no vision of any impending threat. would you leave in this scenario with Rentine’s vision? depending on the game, maybe, right… well, i’d argue leaving without killing the base makes zero sense here.
here it is barely alive as he leaves (with no other attacks in progress, or any reason to leave visible…)
another mineral line apparently not worth killing
Super curious to see what you all think.
