The AI they so proudly showcased last year learned to beat the limitations put in place. It was really funny.
The DeepMind team put a cap on the average APM it could perform over some period of time. Being a micro intensive game, having a perfect micro even for a short time is a game changer.
The AI just learned that by dropping it's APM low it would be allowed to have insane and inhuman bursts during critical fights and still be within the "rules" made up by the DeepMind team. It turned out it was one of the most successful way to win games.
