DeepMind's AlphaStar reached Grandmaster level on the European ladder, beating professional players in long, real-time strategy games.
AI systems have made significant progress in playing complex real-time strategy games like StarCraft II. In 2019, a major milestone was achieved when the AlphaStar AI system, developed by DeepMind, defeated a top professional player in a best-of-five series. AlphaStar's performance demonstrated a high level of strategic and tactical understanding, as well as the ability to execute complex maneuvers at a pace comparable to that of human grandmasters. The system's capabilities have since been further refined, allowing it to compete effectively against top players in full-game scenarios.
