This time, OpenAI is playing a normal game without restrictions. Team Human got thoroughly trashed last time vs OpenAI in a game with hero restrictions. Go OpenAI! I For One welcome our new robot overlords.

Not quite a normal game with no restrictions because it's a pre-selected hero pick from a limited pool instead of a full draft, but it's still very cool.

Interesting that OpenAI seems to prefer deathballing, but it makes sense: its main advantage over humans is probably tactical and in teamfights, and 5-man maximizes your options. The human strategy should probably be to split push, but one of the commentators (who is also a pro who played against OpenAI earlier) says that is very difficult because OpenAI can apply pressure everywhere.

We are playing with regular couriers for the first time! And against a pro team.

Pain isn't the toughest of opponents at TI. Will they be playing vs a team that is currently still alive in the bracket? So far it seems Pain is kind of controlling the game at least much better vs the caster team (99th percentile)

Wait… the big news here is steam.tv. I heard the rumors but didn't know it was up?! (it seems to work only for their own event at this time tho.)

They announced it a couple of days ago: http://blog.dota2.com/2018/08/the-main-event-with-new-steam-...

It still have limitations and bugs, yesterday it just wouldn't load for me, but it works now, and you are unable to watch yesterdays content.

How can I tell looking at the screen who is winning? Is there a score somewhere? Maybe the left side sliders?

The best things to look at are the gold difference (below the top bar) and the towers remaining (on either side of the top bar). But neither fully captures who's winning. Dota is remarkable for how possible comebacks are, so it's often hard to say with certainty who's winning at a certain moment.

A rule of thumb for determining who is winning is the delta net worth: the money icon that appears under the kill counter at the top for the team who's ahead. (as of posting, OpenAI is ahead)
