"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. AI researcher Oriol Vinyals, who previously reached Grandmaster rank in StarCraft, suggested testing Grok in RTS gameplay as well."
"Let's see if @Grok 5 can beat the best human team @LeagueOfLegends in 2026 with these important constraints:1. Can only look at the monitor with a camera, seeing no more than what a person with 20/20 vision would see. 2. Reaction latency and click rate no faster than human....- Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 25, 2025 would love to help and offer insight as a former league pro, I thought AI vs dota2 was really interesting and always wanted to see it vs League @xAI- Eugene Park (@Pobelter) November 25, 2025"
Elon Musk proposed a high-profile match pitting xAI's Grok 5 against the world's best League of Legends team with human-equivalent input limits. Musk specified that Grok must view the game only through a camera equivalent to 20/20 vision, obey human reaction latency, and match human click-rate speeds. The proposal drew enthusiasm from professional players and interest from Riot Games, and former pro Eugene "Pobelter" Park offered assistance. AI researcher Oriol Vinyals recommended additional tests in real-time strategy play, and some professionals debated feasibility given game complexity and real-world input constraints.
