JulyZerg once said: "If one could perform perfect micro, Zerg would be the strongest race"
Proof to July's words?
I'd like to see it's Muta micro. And how it copes with unusual strategies.

'Game Over: Kasparov and the Machine' was one, though probably not the only one:

Is that Sucker? He was really godd at his time, but i don't think he played much the last years. Can't really think of other good terrans from spain right now. So i kinda doubt the top16 europe^^

The arstechnica article is pretty awesome though.
Hmmm... well hes pro for the foreigner scene.... so its not mis-leading at all.. or are you saying no foriegner's are not pro enough? thanks.

Progamer has a specific meaning, the only progamers in the foreign scene were Draco, Ret and Nony briefly and Idra.

But it's not just a muta rush build order. If you read the article it's a lot more sophisticated than that. It adapts itself to early rushes and does not follow a fixed build at all. More importantly, the muta micro is far more advanced than any human player could execute. The whole muta flock either clumps or spreads in response to different threats.
This AI uses a technique that is out of reach of humans. It is interesting to note that the AI that came second also uses a technique that humans would never be able to execute: SCVs are used throughout the battlefield to repair tanks and goliaths.
I could easily see AI one day beating 'real' progamers because they are not constrained by speed.
