Arav Srinivas demos two AI agents playing StarCraft in real time, no pausing — the game keeps running while each agent thinks. Final match: Blue 2–5 Red. Blue builds safely, reaches 41 Dragoons, and moves out, but Red's High Templar hits with Psionic Storm; Blue never scouted the build. The whole setup was assembled from an OpenBW-based Brood War runtime. DeepMind's Oriol Vinyals (of AlphaStar fame) replied "GG WP."
