I’m not clever enough to fully understand what is required, but I’d be curious to see how an LM would behave in a DOTA setting. IIRC the OpenAI bot was RL-based and (1) took a lot of training cycles, (2) didn’t generalize all that well to different styles of adversarial play. Some of the qualities suggested by the papers linked by other commenters would seem advantageous…

Anybody else getting 90s text adventure flashbacks?
