To go deeper, the challenge of balance begin from the most basic decision in Starcraft.
Starcraft has three races and random. At top pro levels, picking random is unheard of and actually extremely difficult to play against because it complicates your very early decisions.
Im also interested in who would be picked to play against DeepCraft. Flash would be incredible but he's retired. I'm curious which top level talent will be left by the time the bot is ready to play
- oneweekwonder 11y agoA wild idea would be to get a couple of top level talent together and let them play against DeepCraft for the first time, at the same time.
- peferron 11y agoTaekBangLeeSsang vs DeepCraft. I'd watch the hell out of that. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/TaekBangLeeSsang http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/TaekBangLeeSsang
- Merem 11y agoFlash is playing Broodwar and this is about Broodwar, not Starcraft 2. I still agree that the level of competition will be even lower by the time a proper bot will be ready (which will take a lot of years).
- Malician 11y agoI could have sworn I saw an earlier source where Hassabis said it would be SC2, not SC1. As an aside, the "best player in the world" referred to in the article is the SC2 player SoS. I think Zest is pretty commonly viewed as best in the world right now, even if he loses the current GSL. They mentioned SoS because... he won blizzcon?!
- kochthesecond 11y agoThen again, a bot that could play SoS would be truly marvelous
- Merem 11y agoThe article is a mess anyway since they are mixing both games up. They start talking about the franchise, then go on to Starcraft 2 and afterwards to Broodwar.
