Tune in on AfreecaTV for some awesome coverage AlphaStar's most recent matches on the EU ladder. Brought to you live by the one, the only, RAPiDCasting! I had a blast bringing you the last series of games - always interesting to see how AlphaStar deals with real humans. I'm excited to see what RAPiD will bring to the cast - looking forward to the memez!

Part 2 of the VOD available at http://vod.afreecatv.com/PLAYER/STATION/46586160

Take a peek at some incredible stutter step micros, multi-prong attacks, bio drops and strong macro plays.

We'll go live in 3 hours. This time "AlphaStar Uncovered" features JohnConnor (!), MaxPax, Neeb, HellraiseR, an offracing Vanya and more.

Has anyone figured out, or at least had a theory as to why AlphaStar misplaced their 3rd hatchery really badly in one of their games? Was in the set of games Creighton casted

It does a lot of stuff that is wonky to what we’re accustomed to strategically, its Terran building placements are off but that’s at least explicable with what I understand about how it learns, but that hatch I can’t think of a rationale

it seemed to be placed to fit almost perfectly underneath where the hatch SHOULD have been, so maybe some kind of decision making misfire related to building a macro hatch? macro hatch at the 3rd used to be seen in pro ZvT a long time ago. it would be too early for a macro hatch, but alphastar may have somehow crossed up its information about game time vs hatchery placement.

it also happened near a ramp that's very popular for tank pushes, so maybe alphastar had a misguided idea that building the hatchery off position would make it "safer"? ofc i have no idea but it's fun to speculate. hard to say without having a high level understanding of the AI and access to the code

He isn't the KR pro. Towards end of last season, <YHWH> Trust has been a 5009 MMR Master 1 player on the EU ladder.

Indeed an epic conclusion! Thanks everyone who are joining in to watch these. One can hope we are gearing up for an anticipated showdown when the learning techniques gets more streamlined and AlphaStar Zero agents having decent chances at the pro-level. It's definitely not going to be sheer dominance by either side eventually.
