Event Indonesia Pride Gaming League (IPGL) Season I 2017 yang dihelat di Atrium Mall Taman Anggrek hari mencapai laga puncaknya. Setelah berlangsung dari kemarin (23/09) dengan laga-laga semifinal yang begitu seru, akhirnya 2 Tim terbaik kini bersua pada partai final.
Adalah Evos Esports menjamu BOOM.ID untuk berebut tiket laga DoTA 2 di SEA Major nantinya. Tim manapun yang keluar sebagai jawara, akan menjadi wakil Indonesia pada ajang bergengsi tersebut.
Evos Esports sendiri mencapai partai puncak dengan perjuangan yang terbilang mulus dibanding tamu yang akan dijamunya. Mulai dari laga-laga partai perempat dan semifinal kemarin, tim ini mampu menunjukkan performa layaknya juara. Mengalahkan Pandora dengan skor meyakinkan, 2-0. Kemudian melaju menjajal BOOM.ID hingga menang dengan terengah-engah medulang skor 2-1 yang menyebabkan BOOM.ID harus kerja ekstra melalui jalur Lower Bracket. Bila Evos Esports mampu menunjukkan performa yang lebih baik dari kemarin, tentu laga hari ini akan berakhir bagi mereka.
Lain angsa lain pula dara. BOOM.ID sebenarnya tampil sangat meyakinkan sedari awal babak penyisihan. Melaju hingga perempat final dengan rekor tak terkalahkan, namun harus berlapang dada ketika terpukul mundur pada semifinal setelah dikalahkan Evos Esports dengan skor tipis 2-1. Hal ini tentunya membuat BOOM.ID harus kerja ekstra demi mendapatkan kursi final. Berjuang menghadapi The Prime NND yang melaju lagi lewat jalur Lower Bracket hingga bisa menang dengan skor meyakinkan 2-0.
Setelah beristirahat semalam, kedua tim tentu melakukan evaluasi mana yang harus diperbaiki. Kerjasama tim, performa individu hingga tetek bengek tekanan psikis pada partai final. Namun, tim manapun yang nantinya keluar sebagai juara merupakan perwakilan Indonesia yang nantinya akan berlaga pada ajang SEA Major.
Jalan yang sangat terjal menuju final. Itulah yang mungkin dirasakan oleh tim yang kini bertanding melalui jalur Lower Bracket. The Prime NND menantang BOOM.ID yang jumawa.
The Prime NND sendiri telah merasakan pahitnya kekalahan setelah pada hari pertama kemarin pada semi final dipecundangi dengan skor telak 2-0. Namun, tampaknya mereka tak mengenal kata putus asa. Meski melelahkan, mereka melenggang melalui jalur alternatif menuju puncak hingga akhirnya bertemu lagi dengan BOOM.ID sebagai penentu siapa yang berhak berlaga pada partai final nanti menantang Evos Esports.
Langkah tim BOOM.ID sendiri sebenarnya cukup miris dengan terdamparnya mereka di jalur alternatif Lower Bracket ini. Mengingat hanya tim mereka yang mampu maju hingga partai semi final tanpa sekalipun kekalahan. Bahkan, pada semifinal kemarin mereka masih mampu mempecundangi lawannya 2-0. Namun akhirnya harus menyerah ketika melawan Evos Esports dengan skor 2-1. Cukup mengejutkan, sebenarnya.
Nah, kini kita akan menyaksikan laga penentuan tim mana yang paling layak melaju ke final menyantap jamuan Evos Esports.
Hari kedua pada acara Indonesia Pride Gaming League (IPGL) 2017, laga pembuka mempertemukan dua tim kuda hitam pada jalur Low Bracket. Adalah Pandora Esports menjamu The Prime NND.
Kemarin, Pandora Esports harus takluk pada Evos Esports setelah dipecundangi dengan skor telak 2-0. Selama pertandingan, aura Pandora Esports sebagai tim kelas atas tidak terlihat sama sekali. Entah apa yang membuat permainan mereka kacau, namun kita berharap semoga hari ini mereka dapat menampilkan performa terbaik demi tiket ke Final.
Tak berbeda jauh dari Pandora Esports, The Prime NND sebelumnya juga dipermalukan oleh BOOM.ID dengan skor yang juga telak 2-0. Namun, berbeda dengan tim kuda hitam satunya, The Prime NND masih terlihat mampu bermain layaknya sebuah tim. Apakah hari ini mereka bisa tampil lebih solid dengan strategi yang lebih yahud? Atau malah sebaliknya? Kita saksikan sebentar lagi.

School is the last place most kids want to be over the summer. But then, most summer school classes don’t involve building race cars. And they especially don’t involve autonomous race cars.
In four-week program sponsored by NVIDIA, the students soaked up knowledge about topics like object detection, mapping and localization from leading lights at MIT, the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Harvard University.

Students Who Love Tech
Maryam Ahmad, a 17 year old from New Hampshire, was a member of the Crazy Eights team, which swept the Grand Prix by winning in all three categories: speed, innovation and “most flair.”
Although Ahmad has a longstanding interest in biology, “this really unleashed my interest in robotics,” she said. But the learning went beyond expanding her science horizons. “Every day, I gained new technical and communications skills, and every day I became a better teammate,” she said.
Sixteen-year-old Syed Hassan of New York has a long-time interest in technology, especially robotics, and the MIT program only amplified that. “You can have robots do everyday tasks so you can put time and attention into things that matter more,” he said.
Self-Driving Car Class Boosts Student Prospects
Students came to the MIT autonomous car class from across the country — 13 states and Puerto Rico. To be eligible, they had to take a self-paced online course during their spring semester to beef up their skills in areas like computer vision and Python programming, which they’d need for the fast-paced summer session. The best students got to attend the free program at MIT. Another 20 students participated in a similar class remotely.
“In many high schools, there are strong computer science programs that focus on abstract concepts, or robotics classes that only focus on hardware,” said Sertac Karaman, an MIT professor of aeronautics and astronautics who helped run the program.
Karaman said he aims to complement the students’ high school studies.
“The hope is that when we look back at their careers in 10-20 years, they’ll be doing wonderful things,” he said. “Learning to be part of a team and to be entrepreneurial will create a positive impact in their lives beyond high school.”

Highlighting the growing ties between NVIDIA and researchers at elite universities, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang spoke to a gathering of AI researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, Wednesday.
The talk kicked off BAIR NVIDIA AI Day at UC Berkeley’s Memorial Stadium, which brought together researchers from the university and the company for talks and demos.
“You here at UC Berkeley are at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computer science and autonomous machines,” Jensen, clad in his trademark black leather jacket, told more than 400 students, faculty and researchers. “Really, it can’t get any better than that.”
In his talk, Jensen explained how NVIDIA found its way to the center of the AI revolution that has upended computing.
NVIDIA, Jensen explained, began as a bet that on demand for 3D graphics and gaming. To whet the appetite for more sophisticated 3D experiences, NVIDIA invented the programmable shader. And to unlock the computing power of the shaders built into every GPU, NVIDIA invented CUDA.
NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang spoke to a gathering of AI researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, Wednesday.
CUDA, in turn, gave researchers the tool they needed to unleash the parallel computing power of GPUs, turning the vast quantities of data generated by the internet, and a new generation of neural network models, into the deep learning technology that powers services now relied on by hundreds of millions of people every day.
And — thanks to a new generation of researchers armed with AI computing platforms from NVIDIA — more is coming.
Work that used to take a decade to commercialize now finds it way to market in six months, explained Trevor Darrell, a professor in UC Berkeley’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
“The time between research innovation and the impact on the marketplace has been reduced by an order of magnitude,” Darrell said. “We’re seeing industry partners more excited to support fundamental research.”
Self-Driving Cars, Robots that Learn, and More
The talks from UC Berkeley and NVIDIA researchers highlighted the close ties between researchers in academia and at NVIDIA.
One of day’s highlights: UC Berkeley Assistant Professor Sergey Levine, who explained how he and his team of researchers are developing new deep learning techniques that are giving robots the ability to observe an action, imagine how they can duplicate that action, and then judge how their own actions compare to the mental model they’ve created.
Complementing Levine’s talk, Bryan Catanzaro, NVIDIA’s vice president of applied deep learning research, spoke about how his team is putting deep learning techniques pioneered in academia to work in areas at NVIDIA as diverse as semiconductor design and virtual world design.
“NVIDIA uses AI in every aspect of its work,” said Catanzaro, who earned his Ph.D. at UC Berkeley. “AI is proliferating in new and unexpected places.”
Other speakers included Darrell, who spoke on using deep learning to help machines reason and explore; UC Berkeley Professor Pieter Abbeel, who talked about deep reinforcement learning and meta learning; and NVIDIA’s Larry Jackel, a veteran of Bell Labs who explained how NVIDIA’s work on self-driving vehicles builds on decades of neural network research.
I Am AI, Literally
After the talks, students and researchers gathered to network over wine and appetizers, gawk at demos of how deep learning is being put to work, and talk about what they’d heard.
Computer science student Humza Iqbal says he thinks deep learning will continue to surprise the wider world, particularly in computer security.
Guy Isely, a Ph.D. student in neuroscience, said he thinks people will be surprised by how common robots could become in five to 10 years.
Others, such as Esmond Ai, a student at Berkeley’s Haas school of business — just across the street from the event’s venue — see deep learning opening up vast new opportunities for entrepreneurs.
Ai said he was inspired by an entrepreneurial tale Jensen shared with students — and the “I am AI” t-shirts worn by NVIDIANs at the event.
“‘I am AI’ makes a lot of sense to me,” Ai said with a grin. “I guess you could say I saw those shirts and was drawn in.”
