I would love DeepMind to put that AI on the ladder as they discussed during the last Blizzcon.
The APM and camera restriction is not for entertainment, it's to develop intelligence rather than 1500+ APM. The interesting part of StarCraft II is decision making and the meta of the opponent, and we didn't see that today.
Remember their Dota2 bot that was beaten by a lot of players after a single day. I want to see if AlphaStar can really adapt to the real world, therefore the meta, the real challenge of StarCraft.
I honestly do not think meta or strategy will be interesting in SC2. (Obviously as a player it will, but from an AI standpoint not). AlphaGo already showed us that it can handle strategy well; A good AI in SC2 will simply scout the minimaly needed amount of time to prepare the perfect responses.
