Been waiting for this moment like 10y now. Curious to know bot author thoughts. Is he mad the bot is used in ladder. Is he training new version. How much time and cost? Is he doing it only for cog/aidee or he has plans to introduce us all to new stronger version for ladder in November..?

if by that you mean that every single match in e.g. WC candidates is based on preparations by both sides in dozens of openings and past games, where they search up to 20 moves deep (with computers!!!) for new ideas and deviations from previous play to catch each other off-guard, then yes

I mean for the viewer. Ofc for analysis its invaluable tool. But if a game is solved and a human cant win dont see how that would be entertaining.

That auto English dub track is the funniest shit ever. Straight out of Kung Pow Enter the Fist. Ultimately had to turn it back to Korean though because dubs are for nubs.

Mini yelling at Larva in Korean sent shivers up my spine.

Ok so you don't have confidence in one the best foreigners to execute it, you are implying you need to be around pro level to execute it.. so do you have confidence that terran pros never thought of a strat like this and that's why they don't do it?

It hinges on holding off 5-6 mutas with 10 marines and a Wraith until you get turrets up. Possible but difficult as a human. Artosis tried it but he played it on Sylphid where you can't build Turrets so he got crushed.

If all current disc hackers were replaced with Pluto bots I would consider that a win, since Pluto plays a lot worse in lag and can actually be beaten. I faced Pluto three times on ranked so far and won every game. Nonetheless, it seems like there's far more Pluto bots being added than disc hackers being replaced, so it's probably a net negative. Also, some bot users seem to have turned on manual mode, where they can control units to some extent. OG Pluto just rams into Dark Swarm but the most recent Pluto bot I played on ladder actually pulled back (but still died to it).

If everyone stopped saying "hopefully shieldbattery gets more players" and just played on shieldbattery themselves, everyone would've moved by now.

Is tricky cuz to get a functional ladder in theory 50 players that are active is enough to get it going. But each time i go there to play games i just dont find anyone. :/

There are more players now that we added 3v3 and multi-queue, although it's still a tight community. It's useful to declare when you queue in chat so other people know to join. People have gotten used to doing that.

I think we've more or less exhausted what we can learn from the current iteration of the bot.

On the one hand it is abysmal at strategy and has no real understanding of even basic unit counters. And if it hasn't learned them by now from playing itself then it's not clear that it ever will. Things like building placement to limit damage from vultures etc. just aren't a part of its play.

On the other hand, it is clear that the advantage given by impossible micro is insurmountable in a standard game (people can cheese the bot but that doesn't teach anything). That makes it difficult to teach the bot because it'll win with inferior strategies and draw the wrong conclusions from them. Zealot/dragoon will beat a human hydra bust and what it'll learn is that those units beat hydras whereas what's actually going on is the human micro can't compete with the AI micro.

For it to get better at strategy it needs micro and multitask constraints. That's not knocking the project, I think it's really cool, but it's like a parrot trained to say a few words based on context cues. Once you know how the trick is done you don't need to see it done again. I want to see the next parrot that can hold a conversation.

It's perfectly viable to open dragoon zealot vs 973. Power dragoon- it's been an alternative PvZ branch for years. It was even trending for a bit vs 973 since you're more likely to save the forge before +1 completes with your range advantage.

there's a lot of diff styles you can do vs 973 if you see it coming, i remember Snow vs Jaedong on Gladiator (not 100% sure who the Z was) in 1 of the ASLs a few years ago, Snow scouted the 973 and went fast robo/reav and completely crushed it
