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

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?


I think they said 200 years in total since development over the past 2 years so it might be another 100 years training if it came again at blizzcon.

This is cool to see but It's a novelty as long as the AI can see and control things over the whole map with inhuman awareness. It's not playing the same game as the human players really.

Well it is impressive
But I think the alphastar has far more advantage in micro than even top pro player from what I see

now I'm opening myself up to flame here but I do think that BW micro is much less about the sheer APM and more tactical so I don't think it would be as good as it is in SC2.

Blink stalkers seem to be one of the easiest things to abuse from an AI. I wish they'd chosen any other race than P honestly.

Personnally I'm kind of surprise/relief that "our" build seems pretty good. I half expected the CPU to show us that actually building 2 proxy gate and pull all your probe is actually unbeatable.

Wait... they're hyping up its ability to generate new strats and win through multiple means, but didn't they say that each match involved a different agent? How do we know that it could actually learn and react to a human player over the course of a series?

it would beat flash 101-0 with vulture micro alone
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

It wouldn't, I don't think it gives more importance to the last game than the 10 000 previous one.

You can clearly see what starcraft is about. If you have significantly better mechanics, you don't need sophisticated strategy, you just make more stuff and go kill em.
