Team Secret’s domination of big Dota events is nothing new to fans of the game, but we wouldn’t fault you for saying a change is in order either.

We’ve rubbed together our remaining braincells (hey, 2020 took a toll on us, too) and brainstormed a few totally legit ideas to put Puppey’s men down a peg or two.1) Cut their internet

Artificial intelligence (AI) in gaming isn’t a recent innovation. As early as 1949, mathematician and cryptographer Claude Shannon pondered a one-player chess game, in which humans would compete against a computer.Indeed, gaming has been a key engine of AI, and a proving ground for the simulations, constructed environments and tests of realism that are the foundation of virtual experiences.AI for the gaming experienceIn 1989’s Sim City, for example, players controlled complex simulations, and rudimentary gaming AI was deployed to simulate something close to realism – i.e. deeply human characteristics like unpredictability.
