.@Blitz_DotA and team say that courier change things a bit but it feels close to normal Dota. “Feels like playing a really good team.”

Waiting for game 3.

Human players say the record stands despite lag. Lag-free would let them push the limits of Five in extreme cases more but not change outcome.

Casters back up on main screen. About to announce format for third game.

This time: Twitch chat and audience will pick the heroes that OpenAI Five plays. Expecting an adversarial lineup. Should be interesting!!!!

Casters asking humans to pick heroes that force Five out of the comfort zone that they’ve observed so far. Audience is shouting Slark, Twitch chat overwhelmingly the same.

Not showing Five’s expected win probabilities until after the draft completes.

Twitch picks Sven and Axe. Trying to pick adversarial lineup for Five, most likely 5 melees.

Last picks: Riki and Queen of Pain. Queen is ranged

Win probabilities revealed now: Five thinks it has a 2.9% chance of winning after audience adversarially picks its hero lineup. Crowd goes wild!! This will be an exciting game.
