Very well written, it's a more theorical approach to important aspects of the game that we usually experience and try to improve, it could help those who never thought about it.

Very nice writeup, appreciate your efforts. I think you pronounced something which is commonly known to the experienced player, yet totally unknown to the beginner. You should make it a sticky within the beginner section of your recommended threads collection.

As others have said, the counter production timing thing was new for me. Thanks for the writeup.

What about halting production from previously built buildings such as gateways or factories in an effort to get more buildings quicker?
Let's say you know 2 gas can support 4 fact tank pumping. After 1 fact cc'ing, you halt production at first fact until all 4 facts come online, then produce from all 4 in synchronization, thus simplifying macro?

Good article, thank you. Perhaps a list of typical timings (you already mentionned academy, muta, lurker, defiler) would futher illuminate the issue.

HEY

I was really pissed when Savior lost like that

Not exactly sure on the timing but there's a moment when the camera goes to his face and he looks like sorta-resigned "wtf" look

Thanks, timing is something I still completely lack but I hope it'll come with time and experience.

Awesome, very well written.

Still, to pro-players, this is like scratching the surface of gaming

Great article Chill. Thanks for sharing it. I just want to know what are the easiest way to see these timings? Do you play games against various people and then observe, or do you watch from replays/VODS? As an SC newbie, understanding this method of expansion/teching is a little hard :/.

This just occured to me but try to take measure your build order's timing. Taking TvZ as an example at xx:xx you'd make your first mnm push, and at yy:yy, your first science vessel comes out for the push, etc. Then time it with the zerg's build orders. You will then be able to modify your build so your timing matches with the timing when the zerg is weak (as mentioned in the article). Of course, when you're actually playing a real game the timing differs slightly. But you should get a good idea of when to move out and when to defend.
I'm gonna try this as soon as I have some free time. =)
This will lead me to come up with my own variations of builds, etc. Even practicing against the computer, I can try to optimize my build so I maximize my power (in terms of unit count, tech, etc.) during these pushes.
It's like I just discovered SC. That was an englightening article, Blake =)
