How Good are StarCraft A.I.'s ?

hey guys welcome back to artosis cast uh today we're going to be trying something different for today in the next couple of days uh what we're going to have is a little show match Series this is going to be between uh the best brood War AIS and some of the best North American players okay so basically there is an AI scene and now this isn't like Alpha star or something this isn't Google spending millions of dollars these are kind of hobbyists that like to make AIS and have put a lot of work into these Bots uh and they're over at schnail that's a Starcraft in human and AI League you can check that out I'll leave a link down below you can play against these Bots yourself uh but they're going to play one of each matchup so for team human we have Gman who we're going to be watching here today play his matches uh and then we'll have Jun for protos and nen for Taran uh so very very strong players all S rank uh top North Americans and yeah uh we're going to see we're going to see how these Bots fare against team human uh down here in the bottom left of lancha this is uh monster um yeah well we'll see how monster ends up doing it is a hatch a pool first here and over yeah it looks like an overpool against a nine pool from Gman so we'll just uh speed this up a little bit while we wait and see what these guys are going to end up doing it'll be interesting in a zvz it feels like one where like obviously the Superhuman APM of uh of of monster might might get them right that is one thing to mention this isn't like again like Alpha star Alpha star they put like limits on the average APM per minute here uh it is just like you can do like 10,000 APM whatever it is right it's more about like how smart are the Bots like how how well are they programmed they're not like learning in the game or anything uh just to throw that out there so right now both sides have made some Lings monster you know had a little bit more of an economic opener so does have that additional drone pulls the Lings back oh my god dude the APM shut up over 2,000 right there so this is I call it the Zergling Conga line but basically this makes better surface area so when you try to attack up like this like look at that okay so when Gman attacked up you could see like if two Lings are attacking over here four are attacking back so you're get them super close together and you just have better surface here and you can see how quickly monster reforms that that's quicker than any prog Gamer does it by far so very well done there chases the Lings out and there's an advantage here for Monster slight Advantage uh the layer is almost done J gon's layer is done so we should see spires coming up and monster continues to attack monster is actually doing a little bit better here Monster's up a a drone right now and up a couple Lings I believe very close overall you know not a super complicated matchup but definitely a lot of small ins and outs looks like right now uh monster might just be well trying to get little engages and like that's a that's a good one to try to take looks like a little bit of Mis micro there Gan pulls back and then monster goes back as well those spires still on the way and look at this look at how quickly this can get into position beautiful beautiful Arc of zerglings unbreakable not even close like more zerglings but also unbreakable it's like not a good attack to attack up there so the spires are almost done and this is what I'm kind of interested about will we have the Killer Instinct out of monster I love that we're seeing 2500 APM right now Gman poking that ramp a little bit and the spire's almost done all right the first mut is going to be popping out here so three are coming out for Gman very quickly well executed build there is an Overlord on this side so we'll see uh that's normally something that you hunt pretty quickly in this type of situation you try to get stuff that's on your side of the map looks like uh gon's Overlord is actually way in the bottom right so out comes gon's mutas and out comes the mutas of monster so monster is actually up two drones right now which is pretty significant uh actually starts an evolution chamber that is not something you'll see Pros do uh the evolution chamber as anti-air like you just you won't spend money on it there's no point because you have mutas out at the same time so it just becomes like an arms race of mutas now this is interesting they're passing each other Gman with four mutas flying past three mutas going towards his base only one muta here so this is okay there's only one muta gets good damage on it actually over micro a little bit for Monster here you would normally just go moving shot and execute this muta so two of them very very low J comes up with all of his mut which is five and now is getting some moving shots here onto monster so uh monster with a bit of a mistake I feel like monster could have secured two muus kills there and maybe a third like maybe at least an equal trade but instead is killing zero and losing multiples yeah yeah so now Gman Gman absolutely has it um yeah there's a Spore here but there's really nothing else to be done right like you you just you're not mining enough gas you literally can't catch up Gman would beat every single Zerg in the entire world like this in fact if you had all of them play Team melee together they could not stop the might that is five Meers against one okay so the Bots don't uh GG until you kill all their buildings so we don't need to necessarily wait for that uh but yeah interesting first game felt like uh the Zerg bot played reasonably well there uh but well played by monster will go into uh the next game hey guys welcome back to osis cast today we are going into our second Zerg show match here against the AI from schnail oops sorry uh we have Gman here in the left hand spawn on power Bond he's already beaten the Zerg bot Zerg AI n known as Monster and now going up against Stardust the protos AI so this one I feel like has the most potential for a victory for the Bots uh against Chan right like I think that the overall micro from things like drons could be a little bit hard to deal with and we'll see about that uh we're on a map called Power bond this one hasn't really been used since about 2018 I want to say is the last time I played this map uh it's a reasonable three player map everyone's that's competitive has played it at some point uh but here we go Stardust our AI going across the map he's going to be able to scout G very very quickly really excited to see what this game is going to end up looking like uh and a little note I did try to check about the APM I'm still not entirely sure if it's recording properly I do know that the Bots do go into the 4000s uh so that is a fact but as far as the human inputs uh obviously G Gman is a very fast player so that seems that seems a little bit low but I don't know anyways uh he is he is a good strong s-rank player uh as I mentioned before he did get an all kill on the South American team the South Americans are very strong at Starcraft so uh really he's in the North American pro league and everything like that a very good player indeed so right now taking a look at Stardust he's gone he got the quick Scout he saw pool first I say he the bot It Whatever uh is going for a quick Forge and you know obviously a forge fast expansion very very normal I wonder about the scouting tell that we're going to see from Stardust I could see because here's the thing about the bot right the bot can Pro like because of the speed and everything it probably keep the probe alive as long or longer than a human so if you just keep the probe alive you can check for a Hydra bus and get your cannons up in time but there could be some trickery I I don't know I don't I don't really know now this is kind of funny because it saw the amount of larva that were there and it still went two cannons I feel like this is a one Cannon situation or maybe even we'd see a pro go Nexus Cannon but either way gets its couple cannons up starts that Nexus up five workers at the moment nothing seems too far out of the ordinary I feel like if you were playing this on the ladder you wouldn't really look at this and say oh my gosh is this a bot anyways uh the probe going to escape and yeah we'll see if it starts doubling back checks for a third Hatchery or something like that you know while we uh kind of wait for this to pick up because it is a very defensive opening on both sides do want to thank you guys for checking out osis cast I hope that you like this little diversion from the normal pro games uh again all the players that I chose to represent uh the humans from North America are very strong s-ranked players some of the best in the scene uh and it's just going to be you know one game of each matchup hope you guys enjoyed do let me know about that as well I am interested if you guys are interested in uh these types of little offbrand show matches I'm definitely very excited about I just want to see what these look like and and commentate them some and see how these these AI play now Gman is going for a three hatch Hydra build you can see his hydris den here he did end up catching the probe no no big surprise there it wasn't fantabulous micro or anything to keep that probe alive zeelot goes in the wall this is this looks a little bit nerve-wracking like if speed speedlings came you could have some trouble I have a bad feeling here because there's no additional scouting coming a lot of times you'd have another probe go because you have two cannons a lot of players would send their zot um I wonder if he'll go Stargate he does go Stargate okay so we are going to have corsairs uh we're also we've got the S of gas up very very quickly but the thing is you need to get a scout off on this because if you don't you simply won't have enough cannons so right now plus one starts ah I'm getting really nervous because this is like a lot of extra stuff that's being purchased that's not going to be overly helpful but we and it's not additional zealots either right it's like okay getting plus one instead of a third zeelot like I mean that can be a thing you do but if you're not scouting what your opponent is doing you're going to be in trouble and a lot of s we will see Zealot pushes that come out looking for something like this so right now Gman just ring out Hydra he's already got that speed upgrade he's getting the range upgrade he's got the 22 drones so a perfectly balanced economy to be able to pull this off only two Photon cannons we have well we have a citadel on the way the Corsair is going to come across uh and get a scout off still about 900 APM just so you guys know most of uh the Bots like mineral boost on a lot of the patches now that being said we have oversaturation here and under saturation here so this is absolutely like a mistake um yeah like you need you need more workers there now it sees the hydra's coming this game is over this is kind of um not as not as expected uh it not even more cannons being started so Stardust uh definitely being made into such it's it's dead uh this game is over and unfortunately not not a great showing here from Stardust yeah there's just there's nothing there's nothing at all so uh yeah that one that one not doing nearly as well as our Zerg bot ended up doing and we're going to just go ahead and jump into that third game GG all right so uh yeah the third and final game here for gmen is starting up and it is going to be on fighting Spirit a map that all of us know and hate it's going up against he's going up against uh Terminus our tan bot here for this matchup so we'll see exactly what uh what the tan bot has in store for us I think because there are a lot of range units and a high uh APM requirement for Aon that might help uh Terminus to perform a little bit better also you know the Hydra all in just didn't get scouted like the the the the last bot just did not even attempt to look for something that's super super common so it was a bit disappointing now if it had gotten into a later game you know maybe there it would have been a more a more exciting uh situation right like maybe it could have made something happen now this is interesting interesting from Terminus already Depot goes up but also a a scout on nine which is completely uh not normal right like you normally Scout against Zerg it used to be on 11 Supply and nowadays it's on 12 Supply those are the standards for scouting now that being said you don't have to scout at those times you can you can do whatever you want you know but just throwing that out there as a comparison Point against human players you almost always see a 12 Scout from a human player nowadays so this is SUV is going to go around and see where it can find it we have a very tucked in Barracks here uh I mean which is no big surprise right like you can you can definitely tuck things like this most people do not because this could help this could make uh protection against muus harassment later a little bit harder now the second Scout timing does line up with this scout coming out of this main that's very normal but now we have two Scouts on the map which does make this uh lower economy still oh a quick gas coming up here from Terminus okay so maybe something a bit cheesy going to be coming out uh the gas is not like super fast like I would guess here that this is going to be like for an Academy or something like that wait it made the gas and it's not mining the gas okay now that the barracks has done it decides the mine okay anyways Terminus has found uh Gman over here I believe believe G might have done like a 999 type of build here that's been a little bit popular lately uh just a quicker Hatchery you kind of get uh your Hatchery and pull out reasonably quickly it's good against rushes uh but yeah that's notice how the spawning pool is finishing like about 10 to 12 seconds earlier than it normally would plus the Hatchery is already done so basically this makes it so if you are being rushed by like an eight RX you have some real counterplay potential but you do cut a little bit of your economy for it so anyways Gman playing a pretty safe game here gas being mined we have a factory on the way SUV goes back into gas there and I did mention previously about mineral boosting I I know that there are some Bots that do some mineral boosting this one is not just to throw that out there you can tell easily by the top patch uh if the top patch is mineral boosted it goes uh horizontally if it's not it delivers in the middle of the command center so uh not perfect mining from Terminus to utilize that huge APM of 2000 the layer little over half done and yeah two barracks and Factory okay not sure what we're looking at here now here is my worry okay like you have to go starport with this you can't do Factory units unless you're going Goliath and that would be incredibly incredibly weird uh but two two Barracks no Academy no starport as of yet just seen there in a factory I almost feel like I'm watching the actual Starcraft computer play or something you know uh it's just it's not getting any of the tech that I expect it's got 400 gas Gan here just going for his Spire I honestly I think G's going to get the spire and that's going to end the game the eBay is in plenty of time to make turrets okay he's got some Marines to push out with J will probably go double sunk in here I'd be pretty surprised if he doesn't like you see Marines walking out if I'm him I'm thinking that this is probably like I'm surprised he's not putting any down honestly he's only got one and it looks like the Marines are actually glitching against this Overlord oh no they want that Overlord so badly and it just doesn't care at all still not utilizing the factory up to almost 600 gas and well G taking a third base like right in its face basically Command Center gets started we're up to 12 Marines they finally decide to move I I'll say like Terminus is not getting Supply blocks so that's nice gets a missile turret going in the main okay Evolution chamber as well as an additional sunken being made okay it is trying to push here this is funny cuz Gman has very very little at the moment and like it's it it's attacking the Suns and like if it if this was a human and look you can actually see that micro it's like trying to pull back it's trying to do some sort of kiing as the mutas come out uh those will all be cleared so that's this is going to be like a pretty easy victory for Gman the game is almost over honestly uh like I'm I I want one of these Bots to actually live past the early game cuz like you saw the way it was moving those marines that was definitely super human what we saw and again over 4,000 APM during there but like Gman is just going to kill it with these mutil lisks you don't have turrets Up Academy is not yet done we're 6 minutes 20 seconds in Gman just kind of waiting for those additional mutil lisks as well all right going to start harassing a little bit here that missile turret well it gets repaired really quickly that was super human honestly only Flash and this bot can repair a turret that cleanly you think I'm joking well actually what normally happens is you have so many scvs in here that it's really hard to get them to go on this without being displaced right but he didn't have many scvs so uh that was a little bit easier here here for the bot has some Marines and Medics we'll see I think Jim is literally just going to fly up and kill this bot now CU muus micro is very very strong and yeah yeah this is not looking good there's like no good supporting turrets I would call this over like if Gman was playing against Flash I would already have said this is basically done at this point and all right going to go ahead and clear the Marines so overall looking at this series because this again this is really game over like you're not literally not going to be able to get any more Marines out the turrets are going to die gon's just cleaning them up uh so a couple things first up I think the build order was obviously very off here uh it didn't have any actual plan with the buildings that it made like one Barracks late gas f Factory it's got 1300 gas right so the Teran bot was certainly off I got really interested when I saw the Marines kind of walking back and forth there so like I feel like there could have been there could have been something uh if it got to the later game and got like a bunch of units but yeah that early game defense very very difficult um and then of course you know we have uh the the other Bots I just want to talk about real quick the Zerg bot definitely that was an interesting one and the protos spot like it it got Hydra rushed right so it just kind of died at the beginning I would have liked to see what that could have done but unfortunately this time around Gman uh absolutely destroying these Bots and uh will finish with a three to zero Victory as it seems uh he did pull back I'm not entirely sure why honestly he's got like easily more than enough to kill everything I think he's just playing with his prey maybe trying to make it trying to make it interesting but really that's that is uh truly it isn't it we'll speed it up a little bit just to see if anything yeah just everything's on fire everything's getting killed Guardians coming out all right uh yeah that is definitely going to be that we won't wait for all the buildings to die but hope you guys enjoy this very different series uh and we'll be doing protos next so thanks for watching [Music] GG
