Thanks for the reply, remember that BWAPI is a big community that already has hundreds of available bots online to play against.
Some of this BOTS are only available for certain maps and certain races, playing with them is not 100% the same as playing against a real human beings, and probably never will, but they are obviously a much better practice and experience than the legacy AI`s.
Anyone can check this in action here:

Not as much as answering you but for anyone reading BWAPI has this advantages for the Starcraft Broodwar Community:
- It allows people to practice offline against BOTS.
- it pushes Starcraft as an AI learning platform
- It gives longevity to the game because people can “feel” how the game is played vs a skilled BOT without an internet connection.
- It bring new an renewed interest to Starcraft Remastered, both as a product and as a community.
- It helps unite the AI dev community with its core audience, which never has been done before and could have very positive outcomes.
