I'm actually curious on the details of this, because it makes for a huge difference. The pro players spend most of their time looking at the mini-map, which shows you what's happening all over the map, in areas where your units/buildings have field-of-vision. You can't see exact units/buildings on the mini-map, but you can make out unit movements as well as expansions. Not giving AlphaStar access to the mini-map would be a severe handicap.
