This was so cool! Many thanks to everyone involved for making it possible.

Would love to see an all races all maps version in the GSL

That was the most exciting thing I’ve seen for a long while. It felt like watching history being made. Thank you to everyone involved - the Deepmind/AlphaStar team, Blizzard, Google, and our very own Starcraft players and casters <3

Wow that was really cool! Did not expect AlphaStar to be able to beat TLO and MaNa respectively, well done to the team!

Maybe the meta for 2019 PvP will be to go for 18 disruptors now

Huge props to Mana for doing things on the fly and showing that us humans can fight back. I had so much fun watching

Incredibly impressive. If it can beat one pro it can beat every pro with a bit more time.
The thing that interests me more how it will perform in the other matchups since those are I think more complex and harder to figure out (especially the non-mirrors).
I also think they should limit the max apm since it's not human-like to reach 800 peaks unless its rapidfire/holding down the drone key.
When it was microing stalkers in the 4th game against Mana it got 1000 apm peaks microing completely inhuman with them
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Honestly, even if other matchups are like 10-100 times more complex, that's pretty easy for a computer to scale up to. So I doubt it'll have any issues with that.

Maybe varieties are gonna be his weakness?
Dunno if it need to start up from scratch when you change the maps/races, they probably talk about it but I don't recall. A single engine may have a hard time learning to play all of the match up and maps.

in pvp it makes sense to oversaturate because then having an oracle kill 6 workers means you are still mining at near max

contrast to if you spent on a nexus, now you are underminining with 2 nexuses (sure you can produce probes two at a time, but your mining rate drops considerably for some time)

Probably since it's an old version of the game, my sc2 doesn't want to open up the replay of mana vs alphastar, which is weird considering in the past you could load old replays just fine (even tho it took more time than regular replays).

That was so awesome to watch. I think AlphaStar has its limits honestly no matter how many thousands of years it practices. Mana seemed to break the algorithm by just storming into the natural and it had no idea how to engage him. I also think in other matchups stuff like baneling busts and burrowed banes would be pretty overpowered vs the A.I.

Overall so cool to see the program use different play styles and organically react. I was worried it would simply blink stalker rush every game. I think Mana winning after preparing shows how fucking awesome StarCraft is.

EDIT: I also think to truly beat a human player it needs to be one Agent in a BO7 on multiple maps.

It would be interesting to see how a bo99 or something would play out. I mean, Mana, said he didnt understand how alphastar played and was confused etc. So it would be interesting to see how the pro players would adapt in a very long series.

I don't think it really matters if its mirror or not. The computer is evaluating relative strength of forces at that spot on the map based on the weights that itself developed over thousands if not millions of games and how the balance of forces will look like after. So be it stalkers vs immortals or ling bane vs bio it just comes down to if the AI believes that is a good trade or not. However fine tuning those weights might be much harder on the other matchups.

Yeah I sort of agree, especially in a longer series.

You need to download their custom CatalystLE map I believe. Instructions are at the bottom of their replays page.

Simply amazing.

People are talking about making the AI "human-like", and I'm just amazed that it is at a stage that it needs to have handicaps to make it fair.

Wow, feels rare for AI to not exceed expectations. On another note, Alpha Star reminds me of Ichigo learning Bankai in a few days.
