"How is that possible? This effective ratio … it's inhuman! "Goph was also shocked.
Obviously, Origin's hand speed was fast from the APM numbers, but it wasn't out of the realm of human hand speed. Most players like Goph and Chen Mo could reach this APM.
But ninety-eight percent of the APM? That wasn't normal at all!
What I meant by APM was something that had actual meaning. For example, right-clicking, forming a team, kicking out of the team, attacking, casting a skill, etc.
On the other hand, inefficiencies were pointless movements, forming a team, and hitting F1 multiple times, which didn't really affect the outcome of the battle.
Normal players could maintain a high APM, even reaching up to six or seven hundred in a large scale battle, but there were a lot of inefficiencies mixed in. It wasn't that they were trying to farm APM, but they were trying to keep their hands warm. These seemingly pointless actions would keep their hand speed at a high level.
In reality, most players with an APM of around three hundred could become a pro player in Warcraft. This meant that an RTS game required a high APM; four hundred was basically the standard of a god.
Out of that four hundred APM, only sixty to seventy percent was effective. Moreover, for many players, the higher the APM, the more ineffective actions they would have.
Even Chen Mo had a few ineffective moves when playing Warcraft. It could only be said that this was due to the limitations of the human body. No matter how fast a player was, they would still need to repeat the same moves to maintain their hand sensitivity.
But Origin was able to maintain an APM of around four hundred with ninety-eight percent effective actions?
In other words, he was actually better than Chen Mo when it came to the details!
That didn't make sense!
Chen Mo looked at everyone, "So, this Origin might be an AI."
"How is that possible?" Zou Zhuo's first reaction was disbelief, "Veteran players could easily destroy the crazy AI in Warcraft, and that's under the premise that the AI has a gold mine. How is this AI so good? "
Goph nodded, "Yeah, this Origin doesn't look like a AI at all. Its actions and tactics are no different from a human. Could it be some sort of cheat code? "
Zou Zhuo was shocked, "Cheat code?"
Goph nodded. "Yes, a plug-in, or a support program. For example, this Origin was originally a master in the US server, but he wasn't very good at it. Now that there's a new plug-in that can automatically pull troops, it's like the integration of man and machine. That's why he's improved so much. "
Chen Mo shook his head, "There's something I need to stress. The 98% effective operation is calculated according to a standard that I designed. For example, within five seconds, sending two commands to move or attack to the same unit is considered a repeated operation and invalid. "
"However, this evaluation is for normal people and normal players. A normal person wouldn't be able to issue two effective commands to the same unit within five seconds, but what about AI? "
Goph frowned. "You mean …"
Chen Mo nodded, "Yes, from Origin's point of view, what it did wasn't an invalid move. It was just that it changed its strategy within five seconds."
"In other words, from Origin's point of view, its effective operation is very likely to be 100%."
"…"
Hearing this, Goph understood, and so did everyone else.
Obviously, Origin couldn't have been created by other players using cheats or scripts. As long as the player was playing, there would be invalid operations, no matter how skilled they were.
In other words, Origin was most likely a complete computer program. It was an AI, an artificial intelligence.
Zou Zhuo still couldn't believe it.
It wasn't just him, everyone else in the room couldn't believe it either.
Many people felt that there was still a long way to go before AI could conquer RTS games.
Who would've thought that it would come so suddenly!
…
On the second day after Origin topped both the Korean and European servers, the popularity of Origin had spread from Warcraft players to other groups of players.
This matter had become the biggest news of the month, and it quickly spread to other groups of players.
This was because Origin crushed both the Korean and European servers. These two servers were known to be full of strong players, and there were many strong professional players. For Origin to still be able to get to the top without any losses was terrifying.
In other words, Origin's current strength had surpassed the Korean and European server's professional players!
It wasn't just Warcraft players on the forums. Many other PC players and even VR players were discussing this mysterious expert, Origin. They were discussing the incredible moves he made in Warcraft.
"Did you hear? There's a super expert in Warcraft! "
"Huh? RTS games are done for, what expert? It's League of Legends' world now! "
"What the heck, how can a bad player be so arrogant? In terms of competitive play, Warcraft is way better than your League of Legends! "
"… What's with the disdain? This is the first time I've seen two games from the same company fighting each other. It's all done by Chen Mo, what are you guys fighting for? "
"Alright, we've gone off topic. We're talking about origin this time. If you don't care, just leave. Don't bother us."
"I've seen Origin's replays, it feels like it's back to when Warcraft first came out, when Chen Mo was dominating the ladder! It's the same flashy massacres, and the controls are really detailed. It feels like he's invincible! "
"As a player with three thousand points in ladder, I think Origin is better than Chen Mo at the details. Especially the games he played on the US server, he didn't even have a single death in some of them. That's insane!"
"Alright, there's nothing much to say about those games. Chen Mo is definitely more entertaining to watch. Chen Mo used a random race to sweep the national server, but Origin only has Elves. "
"Why do I feel like he's a cheater? I've been wondering if Silent was an AI, but luckily Chen Mo proved that he did it with his hands. But isn't Chen Mo's control the limit of what a human can do? Origin's control is even better than Chen Mo's, how is that possible? "
"I think so too. Moreover, Origin is from the US server. How many RTS players can there be in the US? It's probably some kind of black technology. "
