Time of Violation (in-game or replay): 06:46
He nukes through the fog of war into a lumbering camp. He has no vision of the camp through the Fog of war and shouldn't be aware of any lumber camp being there.
Any further thoughts:
Apart from not buying pearl at the start, which is just a bit shady, he proceeds to find two lumber camps back to back without scouting. This can be called 'luck'. But he also in the replay nukes the trees behind walls to get workers at 02:15 and at 05:00 and 08:30 he decides not to nuke because he 'knows' there is nothing to be gained from it. He goes straight to all the 'good' lumber camps without buying/doing any scouting. At 05:38 he kills draenei's RC, but doesn't check the rest of the base and just leaves it, knowing all to well that it is empty. All of these things can be seen as just a coincidence or luck.
At 11:30 he hides his minions in texas base to catch a builder walking in there. He makes his mini's move before the builder is in his line of sight. After that he moves all his mini's straight down to Bay base to siege Gnoll's base before he even got the info that the base was there. even the mini's across the map who he sent there. Normally just your main or one mini is enough to kill the lumber base, but he knows that there is a base there before he pearled (which he bought 8 mins into the game and only used once)
Final point to discuss. At around 14:20 mins he proceeds to surround Draenei with his minions (he has no vision of him but still nukes at the location he's standing) whilst camping Draenei's RC with his main.
All these things lead me to believe that Gothmog is cheating.
I hope to hear from one of the moderators soon about this issue.
Kind regards,

Re: [ID] Gothmog@europe.battle.net
I only really found just two times that were suspicious: at the ~11:30 mark where he tried to ambush demo, and the ~14:20 mark against draenei. Every other point of time, he had knowledge or prior vision via builder death.
The first two lumber bases he attacked are two of the most common lumber bases, as well as the other minor lumber bases that were scattered about.
The draenei RC was placed at an unpopular/uncommon corner of the map, nobody really builds a lumber base there, so checking it is generally high risk-low reward.
When he was hunting dryad, he had vision of the builder for the vast majority of the time while he was hunting it.
The so-called "texas base" mark is somewhat suspicious, as he didn't have vision of demo, but he had seen pirate walking up that direction a few seconds earlier. Coincidental and circumstantial that it was demo, he could've been waiting for pirate to run up into that lumber base, or simply running the minis behind the trees so Pirate wouldn't be given the possibility to see the minis hiding there and moved them back after a few seconds.
Gnoll base: Not suspicious; that is a VERY popular basing spot, especially when there's 6 fruits inside the base. Not many people build a lumber base there without basing there in the future.
Draenei hunt in top left corner: the only HIGHLY suspicious point. Seen draenei in top left corner, didn't have vision of builder when he nuked twice almost directly on him in that tree hiding spot/seed/exit node. As for the RC camp, Titan had vision of two, and thus had a 50% chance of drae teleporting to the one main was camping, or else he would've teleported to the one next to the minis.
Keep in mind that glac doesn't necessarily need neither pearl or vision to nuke or scout. There are a few players out there that can win without the use of either.
There's really not enough evidence to actually ban him on it, with only one replay. If somebody can supply more replays with suspicious activity, then a possible ban can be made.

With this one replay being played before the map update, there's just too many coincidences happening regarding him, especially so when new map has confirmed working anti-mh features now. Could still be heavy coincidences, however I doubt it that it's not maphack related, and when it's coupled with a highly suspicious timestamp.
Edit's TL;DR version - Played before map update, no disconnections. Played after map update, constant disconnects. Coupled with highly suspicious timestamps, chances of gothmog maphacking raised from 42% to 97%.

Re: [ID] Gothmog@europe.battle.net
thanks for solving my issue! And for all the extra research too, he was being such a dick when i saw him again yesterday afternoon I was really hoping for someone else to call him out on his bullshit as well.
