Actually i think you are severely mistaken if you think the ladder contest is gone be won by bot's. And maphack sure as **** wont make the diffrence. A dedicated team of players, playing 24/7 on the other hand will do the trick. 8 players with good skills will have absolutely no problems getting to baal runs hell in no time. After that 2 dedicated teleport sorcs and a baba with BO will make sure the time to get down to throne room is ekstremly fast. MH users will perhaps save 1 - 10 sekonds, but that wont matter in the end. The other 5 players for killing speed. One or two of those should be dedicted to mf'ing baal. This way you get uber items while the sorcs tele down to throne room in next game.
I have no idea how long lvl 99 will take using this method, but my guess is not many days. Perhaps even less than 36 hours.
No bot is gona beat human input when its this short a time span. (unless getting to lvl 99 will take more than a few days.)
