AAAAAANNNND there we go. Once you remove superhuman perception, its decision making is the only deciding factor. AlphaStar does not have superhuman decision making.... yet.

So why is alphastar suddenly so bad now that it has only one screen vision?

You think it looked bad?

Walking back whole army for warp prism was a bad move, alphastar would win basetrade easily

It wouldn't be a base trade, it would be Mana defending and AlphaStar losing his main

it really doesnt deal well with harass, seems like you can beat it with dropship shenanigans all day

It was really entertaining game overall
Alphastar was impressive, it look liked have some limitations but will soon be much better
Hope it will be good affect for sc2

Agree with this, AlphaStar is not so stupid. Remember that in the other blink game it relied on poking and skirmishing instead of committing against a bunch of Immortals. Not sure going for the basetrade would have been optimal.

I think this game seriously showed the limitations of the AI in that it will never deviate from its' specific agent build - as artosis said in the game, it could've just built a single phoenix but it didn't.

as such it's a micro bot and not really intelligent in terms of builds or improvisation.

Alpha looks unfamiliar with how active defense really works, it probably has just determined that aggression is the best tool for achieving victory. It loves to make these aggressive micro-able units, but when its faced with an army composition it can't fight it is unsure how to deviate it's strategy while also defending against harassment.

because Mana has adjusted and tricked it.

Yeah going back and forth to defend the prism, not making a phoenix and stuff was really bad.

So if you give it an inhuman advantage it wins, but if you make it more human it's just mana tricking it?

Alphastar leaving the base with his army repeatedly and Mana's warp prism just going back in immediately doesn't speak too highly of its decision making ability. But I'm sure it'll get better.
