I think by 'seal the doom' he just means that this result shows that OpenAI is almost definitely going to be able to defeat a pro team in an unrestricted game of DotA.

Which I'm still not completely sold on. It's likely, but the remaining restrictions aren't trivial by any means. There's an outside chance that removing one or more of them is going to brickwall their progress.

One should keep in mind that some of the restrictions were in place to prevent the bots from having too easy of a time. For example, the anti micro/illusion rule was intended to limit the obviously superior micro coordination of the bots.

I'm not sure that's true? I can see the bots being utterly terrifying with meepo in a teamfight - but would need supports stacking, proper farm prioritisation (much more use of jungling and ancients), etc etc.

I genuinely believe the bot would win a game of turbo against any team in the world. But remove _all_ of the restrictions and it's not clear that it doesn't just lose at the moment

They specifically said they would have to implement a special case for heroes that control more than one unit in the future.

So you're saying that even before they set up a rule about microing illusions to protect humans from a feature that they have not yet implemented nor, I assume, have trained the model on?

Not only that, but also lets not forget humans learn as well. Meaning the more games players play against the bot the better they would become at understanding and defeating it.
