And yet, in Go, the AI adapted to any "weird strategy" and won regardless. The fact that AlphaStar can't is an obvious weakness.

I would say it’s a weakness but I think it’s shared by most players. A ‘weird’ go strategy isn’t going to involve new kinds of pieces on the board or someone developing a win condition at a place on the board you can’t see.

You can lose a Starcraft game easily if someone is doing something novel and you don’t happen to scout the right place on the board soon enough.
