I would say 18 months from August 5 when they do the stream they will still be unable to beat a professional team playing the full game with no restrictions.
Right now they are so many key parts of the game: Illusions, Summons, Bottle, Courier, and most of the heroes. The 18 they have chosen are all fairly straightforward and make drafting simple. I want to see an AI playing Huskar, IO, and Natures Prophet. Better, I want to see an AI that can draft and ban.
Exactly what I think. The way the Pros exploit those heroes requires a lot of logic deduction, not just game sense feeling and tree searching (which current AI methods are strong at).
Same thinking if we can combine all three of them, I think we will be very close to AGI.
