If you actually play SC2 (or more significantly, if you follow the professional competitive SC2 scene), you should definitely expect AIs to be a looong way away from competing with professional humans. A pro human with an AI assistant (either to micro for them, like in that video, or macro for them) would obviously be able to beat another pro human on their own, but an AI by itself won't stand a chance with current AI.

I would watch an AI-assisted human tournament, especially where each team is responsible for designing their own AI

It would certainly be interesting. In professional SC2 competitions even simple input macros like fast-repeating clicks or keystrokes are banned. It would likely be a massive advantage.
