So basically Mana managed to beat it by using it's propensity to bring back large chunks of army to defend against harassment. People are also arguing if the kind of "zoomed out" mode the computer uses to interact with the map is a "map hack" or not, even though the devs kind of suggested that it focuses on areas similar to a human using the mini map. Will be interesting to let it have another few weeks to tune up.

Also I am not entirely sure TLO and Mana are 'top pros' in the scene anymore. I watched part of it and didnt see any Korean's or Serral at least.

Well the AI won in ways you would expect it to, inhuman micro and battle outcome predictions.

The most interesting strategic thing it came up with is that it seems to think in PvP overproduction of probes and maynarding is more effective than an earlier expansion.

TLO offraced protoss as a zerg main. Alpha went 1500 APM bursts over five seconds as well, with every action being meaningful to boot. This is superhuman speed by a factor of ten at least.

We all know Starcraft is all about controlling your units better. Remember this video?


There's a genius move in this whole thing, and it's exactly downtuning Alpha's APM to the point where most players don't realize how much faster he is than the humans. Any less APM and he'd have lost over and over, too much APM and people would just dismiss it for the same reason we'd dismiss an AI that pulled the siege tank move up there constantly.

You know what Alphapeople? call me when you can make a Civilization AI that can defeat me on King difficulty, i.e. the one where the AI and the player are playing the same game. No god mode speed will help you there.

Besides, SC2 is dead to me because it doesn't support 2560x1080.

Apparently he was having issues with infection last month or so it goes. Not sure if it was related or not.

Haven't really thought about him until now and now I"m remembering the good old SC2 days. RIP.

Some tweets by people close to him mentioned something about a staph infection. Wouldn't surprise me if he developed sepsis.

Pulmonary embolism sounds more likely, he was struggling with clotting problems in the past and infection surely didn't help.

RIP.

Very sad loss for esports :(
