You ever think about how a machine could outsmart a human in a game like StarCraft? I’ve got a few patterns that might just make that happen.

First off, a lot of the win‑rate swings come from just a few micro patterns—call those “micro‑hotspots.” One is always keeping your marines on the “edge of the cliff” when you have a few of them: a tight, 90‑degree cone that keeps the enemy from getting a good lock on you. Another is the “burst‑and‑run” with drops: send a small group, hit hard, and then immediately retreat before the enemy can focus fire. If you sync those two with a cheap, early bunker build, the bot usually over‑commits and gets wiped. Give it a try and see if the bot starts running around like it’s in a glitchy simulation.
