Suddenly, in the middle of the game, while quite busy at front, kitty starts to think: ' hmm, what if they are making or made 2 singu already ? Ill make a plane factory and 2 odins to be sure, scouting is for the weak '.
What a surprise, 2 singu exactly where expected...
Thats what it takes to be purple maybe, some super powers

Geez man. If teams were ever to build singus, I wonder where they would put them on this map. In the lake at the center?

these accusations should be treated with the benifit of the doubt as it will prevent spec-cheating if players get caught.. if cheaters see negative feedback as a diterant to checks they may become emboldened or brazen.. smurfing cant be eaisily fought and vpn makes finding a spec-cheat difficult. but i did some digging incase you were right.. i looked for same flag possible spec-cheat smurfs... unless TWrankKitty116065 was using a vpn if you watch the game ill link you will have your answer.. if both players mentioned bellow move around at the same time then it should clear them as suspects and that should clear kitty..

here is the game with TWrankfriend930209 + TWrankgounson8989 .. https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/2252725

with all this in mind.. i am not saying that anything happened here or that kitty was cheating.. or even that it would prove he does.. im just saying if you suspect things then lets look into it and make sure. even if we are wrong or can prove nothing it will turn up the heat for anyone who is currently spec-cheating just by reading this.

as i suspect there are always a few active cheaters in any online community

note: i did not watch either replay.. the rest is up to you if you strongly suspect anything then its in your hands to prove it

If anything, the fact that the singu wasn't finished is proofsuggesting (strongly) that there was no cheating.

If you're going to odin a singu and are confident that it's going to succeed because you have spec vision, then you'd let it finish or at least get to 80% so it explodes.

TWrankKitty116065 is an experienced matchmaker. When you MM you develop an acute sense of how a game progresses and when a team is likely to have something.
Also this is TAW, which is populated by players who #1 like to rush singus #2 do it every game.

That was the most safe bet of all time. If anything, they were probably disappointed singus weren't done.

If I had sent those odins and they found nothing, I'd be somewhere between shocked and laughing at my bad luck.

Also the success of their lobster throws are very in line with their vision. Mostly failure while going in the dark, and success when hovercrafts are isolated and visible.

it's called escalating, making singu is an escalation, killing singu also is one.
and the unit is called odin, not singu slayer, i can just kill random fusions if there is no singu

The accusation by FRrankArjack is grave but laughably weak. An Odin in a TAW game will nearly always find something worth it or kill at least a fac while returning safely. This makes Odin a relatively safe bet to go for blindly. Additionally, this map is known to lead to Singus relatively early, so going for an Odin is good play, as expected from high ranking players.

I don't need to see the game. As a blanket rule, if you can send an odin around the outside and through the back of their base at 15 minutes into a 6v6, you will find good impactful target. Worst case scenario they've got big AA and you turn around then start supporting with the odin shields. Best case (common) scenario is you hit singus and probably win the game.

He may well be cheating, but what you've described does not support this conclusion at all.
