I was sceptical at first but after watching MaNa story video [0] - not anymore. Starcraft2 is a very complex game, but I’ve been able to crush best blizzard AI after a week playing - yes its that weak. Seeing AlphaStar strategy, from simple correct building placement to micro decision making is so much more inspiring. And it was achieved by deep reinforcement learning - never seen a more unstable and unpredictable algorithms in my machine learning career - even in fully observable environments. What DeepMind did - achieving THAT level of play, even if AlphaStar can see the whole map and micro 3 groups of units at once - is incredible.

- scj 8y agoYou may want to try playing against some of the AIs developed by the Student Starcraft AI Tournament such as SAIDA, Locutus, CherryPi, krasi0, Iron Bot, and tscmoo. If I could make a single recommendation to future AlphaStar opponents, it would be to prep against these AIs. AlphaStar has style overlap with the AIs mentioned above, and I'd like to see a match with human better prepared for that. The SSCAIT has a weekly broadcast which demonstrates the strengths and weaknesses of AI players quite well.
