The best sc2 bots these days play in the ~50,000 APM range (they could mostly go higher as well, but the game client breaks somewhere around 100k APM). I don't see an LLM-based bot getting up to that sort of speed anytime soon.

On the other hand, I do think LLM-based bots will quickly outperform the decision-making of many of the hand-coded bots, so maybe they won't need so much APM to be competitive.

Yeah but Starcraft needs, like, 10-20x the APM these agents are doing.
