As a strong amateur DotA player, this seems absurdly impressive, albeit much less impressive than if they could beat humans in the full DotA ruleset. (Their restrictions seem to be avoiding much of the “long-term strategic planning” part of DotA, e.g. choosing heroes, item builds, and level of aggression in a way that makes sense against the enemy team.)
This seems way more surprising to me than beating humans at Go.
