Very interesting that they got Artosis and Rotterdam. Seems like we might actually get to see a full game with commentary!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I would be very, very surprised if they had something that could compete with a decent human being. It may be a bot vs bot match?

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?

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.

Probably Deepmind vs Serral showmatch
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

I don't expect its ability to be more than a high diamond player, or at best a high masters player.

And I'd bet it will use Terran, because its skill with the other 2 races is bad.

Deepmind usually don't go out on matches they think they can lose. 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

I hope the deepmind team is more open about what they produce. 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.

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.

Has it now learned all the rules and cloned itself and played a hundred million matches? Otherwise, probably just a technical demo?

Intriguing. I'm hoping it's a full game. Half of Starcraft is mechanics, and it's a given that an AI would be superior at this. I'm hoping instead the AI can show creative strategies as well.

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.
