I agree that this makes Lee Sedol's one win against AlphaGo even more impressive. But deepmind also felt ready to host this event and it chose European pros to compete with not Asian pros, who arguably have better micro and innovate a lot of the new meta.
- dllu 8y agoTLO is to Starcraft* as Fan Hui is to Go. They are strong players but not the best. I am guessing that Deepmind knows that the strength of their bot isn't ready to take on the very top players, and wanted to show off against a well-known personality in the Starcraft II scene. Incidentally, though, the strongest Starcraft II player currently is arguably Serral [1], who is Finnish. He beat the strongest Korean players to win the WCS World Championship last year.

His main race, Zerg, is very strong, ranked around 70-80th in the world.
