I could have sworn I saw an earlier source where Hassabis said it would be SC2, not SC1.

As an aside, the "best player in the world" referred to in the article is the SC2 player SoS. I think Zest is pretty commonly viewed as best in the world right now, even if he loses the current GSL. They mentioned SoS because... he won blizzcon?!

The article is a mess anyway since they are mixing both games up. They start talking about the franchise, then go on to Starcraft 2 and afterwards to Broodwar.

Then again, a bot that could play SoS would be truly marvelous
