Hundreds of journalists from around the world gathered at the venue to report on the match between Lee and AlphaGo.

Lee told a press conference on Tuesday that he got slightly nervous ahead of the match, lowering his confidence in his victory as he got to think that AlphaGo can mimic intuition of humans.

Demis Hassabis, CEO of the DeepMind, said AlphaGo became stronger than in October as the algorithm has made many upgrades since then.
