Open AI tried to create a Dota 2 AI with reinforcement learning. Some of its best people worked on that.
They had to dumb down the game and keep the bot playing on the same patch, even then it could not win against a proffesional team.

I do agree that the game was terribly dumbed down to make it tractable. I keep hoping they'll revisit Dota 2 to see if they can find meaningful improvements and tackle the full game.
Unless you know of another time the bots were deployed formally against a pro team more recently, which I'd love to hear about.
