How to Train Your OpenAI Five
I&#x27;m still kind of disappointed with how much hubbub came out of these games. I watched most of them and it just in general felt like mediocre dota even against the pro team. I&#x27;m not saying I am amazing but I wish this article came out sooner to kind of put a reasonable contrast in the stuff that was coming out. While I enjoyed the idea of the drafting phase it is hard to not look at the hero pool available and see only two or three reasonable lineups (both of OG&#x27;s lineups trying to take advantage of invis heroes were both weak in general in the current version), and I think the shown drafts display that. It&#x27;s hard not to feel like that OpenAI solved the problem of that limited hero pool and ended up with a superior team to humans who weren&#x27;t familiar with that version of the game.<p>I don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s a wrong outcome, but people trying to frame it that OpenAI beat OG at their own game in the same lines as go, chess, or checkers seems misleading. I think I am just still feeling sensitive to the sentiments and outcome that ended up being the outcome of systems which got on the press pipeline like watson. I wish it was more celebrating how they were able to create this ensemble learning environment, so I&#x27;m hoping for that more detailed analysis especially how they were able to adapt (and hopefully not throw away) the learning they did after some of the really large patches.
