In 2020, I analyzed McRave’s three-part strategy representation. This version of McRave is the CoG 2022 version, and I think details have changed, but the basic structure is the same as in 2020.
With its deadly mutalisks, McRave apparently does not bother to learn what to play against zerg opponents. In ZvZ, it follows the same 9 pool into one hatch muta strategy every game. It went mutas in most games against terran and protoss, too. But it’s still interesting to see what it recognized in its opponents play.
