Actually computers were already in the top 10 percentile or so. I mean top go playing bots ranked something like 5dan amateur which is very hard to achieve, so it could already defeat most human players.

From being in the top 10% to beating the top player is a gigantic difference. Until AlphaGo computers were indeed "not close" to besting humans at Go.
