As in the past, AI companies use video games to test their technology. Dota 2 is a pretty much-complicated game with numerous competitive scenes and could prove to be a good testbed for this startup.
OpneAI’s bot recently participated in Dota 2 championship and successfully defeated the world’s top professionals at 1v1 matches of Dota 2 under the standard tournament rules.
