That's surprisingly frustrating to watch. Protoss throwing away its army of zealots with terrible positioning, zerg wasting time attacking buildings instead of sealing the deal, probes walking by enemy forces that ignore them as they mine minerals...

Which is not to say that there weren't impressive parts. I don't think a human could stutter step that many dragoons that well. But there's clearly a lot left to do in terms of tactics.

That particular scene at the sunken colonies was equally frustrating to watch. I fixed the most likely cause of that behavior shortly after the tournament deadline.

But for sure, you're correct. There's a lot left to do on all fronts. There's noticeable progress every year -- none of last year's entries finished much over 50% -- and the growing research community should help accelerate that even more.
