Microwave is configured to save only the most recent 200 game records. There were 290 rounds, so where all games were played, it dropped data for 90 games. (Steamhammer is configured the same way, though the data it stores is quite different.)

Mutalisks were good—relatively speaking—even though this version of BananaBrain goes heavy on the corsairs. Even the slow-starting 3 hatch muta was more successful than most builds. It’s curious that the highest win rate came when Microwave was unable to figure out what opening BananaBrain was playing. I doubt the cost of scouting is that high. I’m guessing it’s more likely that scouting failed more often when starting positions were distant. That gave Microwave more time to prepare.

But Stardust was (a little) vulnerable to zerglings. Again, the highest win rate came when Microwave did not know what Stardust was doing.

PurpleWave just fell over to Microwave’s zerglings. But even here, an Unknown enemy build was good news for Microwave.
Steamhammer was also successful with zerglings (I’ll post its data when I get to it), but nothing like this successful. I expect that, true to its name, Microwave has superior zergling micro. Though maybe it’s just more aggressive?

A lot of openings are roughly equal. I suspect that some of the ones that scored 0 would have also been roughly equal if they’d been tried more times.

So: Good with zerglings, not so good with mutalisks. Microwave knows how to defend its bases with two spore colonies each, in the standard pro way, but apparently that’s not enough to survive against McRave.

The two top builds are 5 hatcheries before spawning pool. Compare Dragon’s table for Microwave, which says that opening with mass vultures was best. The vultures must have often come before Microwave could defend itself.
