If this project uses the BWAPI (which it says it does in the paper), then I assume that this doesn't need to recognize units as that state is available from the game. On the other hand, the DeepMind "research environment" (https://deepmind.com/blog/deepmind-and-blizzard-open-starcraft-ii-ai-research-environment/ https://deepmind.com/blog/deepmind-and-blizzard-open-starcra...), presents a simplified view of the map that requires AIs to recognize units as simplified blobs on the map and issue commands that more closely resemble what a human would do via mouse and keyboard.
