To play against alphastar, you have to opt-in. IIRC it states Alphastar will hide itself.
One of the things people noticed in replays was the lack of control groups and in the case of zergs, the ability to select larvas directly, which no player ever does. It could have been as simple as removing these quirks.
- vermilingua 7y agoFor the type of beast AlphaStar is, they do not sound like simple tasks at all.
- v4dok 7y agoNobody selects larvas directly? I guess I am a computer then. Way worse than Alphastar tho.
- neogodless 7y agoHa! So I always did that in Brood Wars, but in SC2, I put each hatchery on a hotkey (0, 9, 8, etc.) and then just pick the units I want to queue up. No need to select individual larva any more.
- IpV8 7y agoI like to map tilda, tab, and caps lock to 0, 9, and 8 so that my left hand doesn't have to reach as far.
- smolder 7y agoNew players (like when I first played) are likely to select individual larva before they do tutorials or learn the hotkeys, but you're right that high level players would almost never select one directly. Maybe after a hatchery has died and there are still larva remaining?
- username90 7y agoNo, it doesn't select the larvae by dragging, it just selects them instantly from the other side of the map. I'd guess it either has a hotkey for the hatcheries and press it and the larvae key instantly without it showing in the replay, or it has a cheat ability to instantly select larvae.
