I find it interesting that AlphaGo seems to take a long-ish time to play the move every other pro would play instantly. These pauses probably help balance any time oddities. I think Sedol managed his time well, and even AlphaGo went into byoyomi near the end. Also the fact that it's on even time is more than fair, since the standard until now has been "go on, add more computing power, take more time to play a move, you'll still lose to a pro". As for AlphaGo, I kind of remember reading that doubling the computing resources at this point gave an increase in 60 ELO points. (So if they solidly win against all the Sedol matches they may need to double once or twice or find enough software optimizations to take down Ke Jie using standard time control, but it's not out of reach..)
