I can't wait to see how far DeepMind can go in this area. I was initially skeptical that AlphaGo could defeat top human players, but then it happened. Who knows, perhaps one day AI can compete against progamers in GSL!

Competitive AI in broodwar already can destroy the best humans. AI can use strategies and tactics that human can't effectively do. Most notable is perfect splitting which changes the game quite a bit.

Do you have a reference on this? Last I looked into it broodwar AI bots were easily beaten by competent humans.

Who do you mean by "the best humans"? I've never heard of top-tier progamers such as Flash, Jaedong, Bisu, etc. losing to AI. In fact, I doubt any B-teamer or above would lose to an AI in a Bo3.
