"Elon Musk has proposed a high-profile gaming challenge for xAI's upcoming Grok 5. As per Musk, it would be interesting to see if the large language model could beat the world' best human League of Legends team with specific constraints. Musk's proposal has received positive reception from professional players and Riot Games alike, suggesting that the exciting exhibition match might indeed happen."
"In his post on X, Musk detailed constraints to keep the match competitive, including limiting Grok to human-level reaction times, human-speed clicking, and viewing the game only through a camera feed with standard 20/20 vision. The idea quickly circulated across the esports community, drawing commentary from former pros and AI researchers, as noted in a report. Former League pro Eugene "Pobelter" Park expressed enthusiasm, offering to help Musk's team and noting the unique comparison to past AI-versus-human breakthroughs, such as OpenAI's Dota 2 bots."
A proposal requests testing Grok 5 against top human League of Legends teams under strict constraints that mimic human perception and input. The constraints require camera-only 20/20 vision, reaction latency limited to human levels, and human-speed clicking to keep the match competitive. The idea garnered positive reactions from professional players and Riot Games, with former pro Eugene "Pobelter" Park offering assistance and comparing the challenge to OpenAI's Dota 2 bots. AI researcher Oriol Vinyals suggested additional RTS testing and physical control by a robot, while some former pros expressed skepticism about Grok's chances despite rapid learning.
