Systems and methods for displaying player matchups with dynamically selected bots of varying strength levels

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• implementing, by circuitry, a video game that involves a first player-versus-environment (PVE) match whose player side is controlled by a human player and a second PVE match whose player side is controlled by a bot player;
• selecting, by the circuitry, the bot player that controls the player side of the second PVE match based at least in part on a rating of the human player;
• rendering, by a graphics processing unit (GPU), a user interface that presents one or more digital elements of a video game that involves the first PVE match and the second PVE match in response to at least one instruction received from the circuitry;
• and
• rendering, in the user interface by the GPU, at least one player-side character controlled by the bot player in response to the at least one instruction.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one hardware processor of a computing device, cause the hardware processor to:

• implement a video game that involves a first player-versus-environment (PVE) match whose player side is controlled by a human player and a second PVE match whose player side is controlled by a bot player;
• select the bot player that controls the player side of the second PVE match based at least in part on a rating of the human player;
• direct a graphics processing unit (GPU) to:
• render a user interface that presents one or more digital elements of a video game that involves the first PVE match and the second PVE match;
• and
• render, in the user interface, at least one player-side character controlled by the bot player.
