    Heads up if anyone's interested: a world-class AI system called OpenAI will be competing for the first time against top-level Dota 2 players in a Best Of 3 series. The main event starts an hour from now on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/openai. Before hand, there will be a warm-up match of audience members vs the AI (which I expect will show off the AI by pulverizing the audience players).

    The Dota semi-pros are ranked roughly in the 99.95th percentile, putting them just below full-fledged professional players (who would be in the 99.99th percentile). Some of them are former pros, one is an active pro in a lesser team, and many of them are current or former paid commentators of Dota. So they're quite good at the game and know it inside and out. But the new AI is rapidly evolving and improving, making it a huge wildcard, so who knows which side will triumph.

    To be clear, there are restrictions at play

    Should be interesting. Probably more chance for the humans compared to them going up against a 1v1 Shadow Fiend on their first try. That said, i think the AI will win. Especially in this meta where the laning stage is super important. Expect them to gain a lead in the laningphase and just take advantage of their gold & level advantage to finish it off. Bet if this version gets released to some pro's they'll find some glaring weaknesses to exploit after playing against them 5 times.
