Completely agree. I actually think there's a huge opportunity for game companies to create bots that have been fine tuned on notable players, former tournament champions, etc. so then you have your base AI bots, and if players want they can essentially purchase virtualized opponents.

What Quake player didn't want to pit their skills against Dennis Fong back in the day?

Of course there would need to be someway to adjust the difficulty while retaining the famous players stratagems otherwise 99% of casual players will get crushed. :)
