I agree. I don't think there was anything too novel in there, but it is a necessary foundation they need before advancing on to the strategy part, or they would just be out-microed there.

I think there a little bit of strategy already in there since it learned about positioning, and not exposing itself too much (which is of course easier without fog of war). The only thing I was excited to see was the creep blocking, but the chance that this would turn out to be hand-trained was pretty high.
