There is actually an interesting paper on that, you can find it on the youtube channel two minute papers.

Basically, they let an AI loose on a simplified version of Quake's Capture the Flag. The AI processes game video output only and has learned several key strategies. The latest update has the AI with a winrate of 71% against top humans. Unlike the DOTA match the AI has no restricted reaction time.

The AI seems to be jittering the camera left and right to reconstruct a 3D image reliable from the screen which is aquite interesting way to compensate for lack of 3D vision (and the compensation our brain is capable of naturally to get a 3D intuition from a 2D image)
