AI bot Pluto crushes StarCraft pros after invading ranked ladder

Pluto, a 315-million-parameter neural network that won the 2026 Computer Olympiad StarCraft AI competition, was placed on the StarCraft: Remastered ranked ladder without its creator's permission under the account "^333^" and beat pros including Larva, Iris, Ret and Paralyze. The Brood War AI community reported the account to Blizzard and says the unauthorized version uses a maphack.
