Abstract. Real-time strategy games are popular in AI research and education. Among them, Starcraft: Brood War (SCBW) is particularly well known. Recently, the largest known SCBW game replay dataset STARDATA was published. We classify player strategies used in the dataset for all 3 playable races and all 6 match-ups. We focus on early to mid-game strategies in matches less than 15 minutes long. By mapping the classified strategies to replay files, we label the files of the dataset and make the labeled dataset available.
