Given the way neural nets learn, I fully expect AlphaStar to be completely invincible in the very near future.

You have to consider that if it is capped to 180-200 apm, if it allocates ALL 200 actions to blinking stalkers in a few second window you will get a ridiculous APM spike, it's for sure the most difficult hurdle to overcome in terms of creating a machine that can play the game versus humans in a "fair" way.

this is a place where that zoomhack also comes into play which I see, of course, none of them are mentioning.

But Serral does not have a zoomhack and he has hands.

So AlphaStar is like AlphaGo, it wants to win and does not care how given how game 5 went.

I mean, decisionmaking on blink stalker micro at an individual stalker, constantly, all over the map, is obviously superhuman level microing. That said, it's an AI, we don't expect it to play like a human.

Another superhuman play you saw was the timing on making the observer: a human almost certainly wouldn't see the blurred dark templar crossing the map until they are very near his base. Whereas alphastar has 100% map awareness.

The micro is incredibly interesting, the overdroning to immediately saturate/handle any workers killed from harassment was intriguing, and the army movement was brilliant. But overall, it seems like it's just exploiting its inherent ability to control units better/have persistent awareness of its FOV, and leveraging that to get into micro intensive situations and win.

Fun thing is that Lambo had the same ePM in his games against Maru.
Shows how much they hyped Serral on even silly things :D.

Honestly though, if AlphaStar can beat Mana 5-0 in 2 weeks of training, Serral doesn't stand a chance.


It hasnt had 2 weeks it has had 200 years

I feel like Artosis and Rotterdam are kind of over-hyping it to the point where they're overlooking the ridiculous inhuman micro.

Yea, but 2 weeks of real life time. If we do a showmatch at Blizzcon, thats like another 40 or so weeks? So the equivalent of 4 millennia of training?

When you talk about years played, SC2 players are really in their infancy. You are never a year away from a patch. This is coupled with the fact that we don't have truly dominant players in SC2 yet. Winning for a year or two is as good as it has gotten. I would have found this more interesting had SC2 had 5 more years between its last patch or if this were trained in Brood War. In Brood War their is at least a definitive player with the most well rounded skill set in Macro, Micro, and Strategy. *Note: I'm not comparing the games at all in terms of content.

they are saying like letting AI figuring out strats and humans learning from it is a good thing. No its not. Mistakes and new meta is what makes it super exciting.

"it's got an average human/pro apm"

Can't recall the last time I saw Serral's APM peak above 700 even in intense fights.
