mierin Profile Joined August 2010 United States 4711 Posts #4 The last I saw of deepmind, it was randomly clicking on the minimap and unable to get back to its base to control its workers unless it got lucky. Surely it's gotten a lot better if they brought on Rotti and Tosis...right? JD, Stork, Calm, Hyuk Fighting!

travis Profile Blog Joined May 2003 United States 23811 Posts #5 What they have done is isolate "mini games" from within sc2 - tasks like mineral mining or base organization. So it may be the case that they are now performing well on such minigames and want to show that off and talk about how they've done it. Team Liquid

And I'd bet it will use Terran, because its skill with the other 2 races is bad. Twitter: @eigenscape. ""As I've said, balance isn't about strategies or counters, it's about probability and statistics." -paralleluniverse" -ahswtini

I'm guessing it's gonna be more of an exhibition demonstrating the mouse and keybord setup they will have and how it learned SC, maybe a couple of matches vs the game CPU or a low level opponent. When we will heard of them playing against the top pro it will mean it can beat them http://i.imgur.com/9p6ufcB.jpg

Show-matches are all very well, but giving players the opportunity to out-mindgame the AI afterwards would be interesting. AlphaZero was somewhat disappointing in the sense that no one really has a good sense of exactly how good it is at Shogi or Chess.

stardog Profile Joined August 2011 544 Posts #12 If Deepmind is ready to demonstrate, I'd expect them to have something good. When they approached Go, they started with beating other bots (which played on a pretty strong amateur level), then a weak pro and finally the very best players. I'm not aware of any half-decent bots to beat so I hope they'll at least show a master level of play.

Didn't they make it pretty clear that its the best chess engine there is atm? Beating the strongest engine at chess means that no human player could ever hope to beat it so at least when it comes to chess I would say its clear that AlphaZero is the best there is.
