• Abstract: Multiplayer Online Battle Area (MOBA) games are a recent huge success both in the video game industry and the international eSports scene. These games encourage team coordination and cooperation, short and long-term planning, within a real-time combined action and strategy gameplay. Artificial Intelligence and Computational Intelligence in Games research competitions offer a wide variety of challenges regarding the study and application of AI techniques to different game genres. These events are widely accepted by the AI/CI community as a sort of AI benchmarking that strongly influences many other research areas in the field. This paper presents and describes in detail the Dota 2 Bot competition and the Dota 2 AI framework that supports it. This challenge aims to join both, MOBAs and AI/CI game competitions, inviting participants to submit AI controllers for the successful MOBA \textit{Defense of the Ancients 2} (Dota 2) to play in 1v1 matches, which aims for fostering research on AI techniques for real-time games. The Dota 2 AI framework makes use of the actual Dota 2 game modding capabilities to enable to connect external AI controllers to actual Dota 2 game matches using the original Free-to-Play game.se of the actual Dota 2 game modding capabilities to enable to connect external AI controllers to actual Dota 2 game matches using the original Free-to-Play game.

  We explore the applicability of Sequential Item Recommendation (SIR) models in the context of purchase recommendations in Dota 2. Our results show that models that consider the order of purchases are the most effective. In contrast to other domains, we find RNN-based models to outperform the more recent Transformer-based architectures on Dota-350k.

  We propose Portfolio Monte Carlo Tree Search with Progressive Unpruning for playing a turn-based strategy game (Tribes) We show how it can be parameterized so a quality-diversity algorithm (MAP-Elites) is used to achieve different play-styles while keeping a competitive level of play. Our results show that this algorithm is capable of achieving these goals even for an extensive collection of game levels beyond those used for training.

  We present our RL system for Ubisoft's Roller Champions, a 3v3 Competitive Multiplayer Sports Game played on an oval-shaped skating arena. Our system is designed to keep up with agile, fast-paced development, taking 1--4 days to train a new model following gameplay changes. We observe that the AIs develop sophisticated co-ordinated strategies, and can aid in balancing the game as an added bonus.
