During Valve’s yearly Dota 2 biggest tournament The Internationals a quite surprise event happened. Let me first give a brief point overview of what is Dota 2. Basically it is online multiplayer 5 versus 5 online strategy game. This game require top most level of coordination and strategy to beat the opponents of equal level. So practically it takes quite a time and effort to learn and be a good player. But surprisingly at Internationals one of the world best Dota 2 pro Danylo “Dendi” Ishutin get crushed in a live 1-vs-1 match with the bot twice. After loss Dendi said " feels a little like human, but a little like something else. "

Bot was trained from Elon Musk - backed startup OpenAI. Engineers from the nonprofit say the bot learned enough to beat Dota 2 pros in just two weeks of real-time learning, though in that training period they say it amassed “lifetimes” of experience. Musk is hailing the achievement as the first time artificial intelligence has been able to beat pros in competitive e-sports.

Musk himself a well known name in AI and Tech guy hailed this on twitter
