Just scout and find out what he is doing, you will learn timings in your head as you get more experienced.

edit* it's sorta like Quake, some people will use some sort of countdown clock to tell them the time of the items..but these people only use this system because they are too lazy to learn the game...adding 25 and 35 seconds in your head is not that hard. Likewise, sensing when a muta attack would come is really easy.


One thing I was thinking about is the larvae spitting: timing it with a clock might be good !

Or you could just get used to it, and mentally time it. Timing with a clock is useless, and will slow your learning.

might actually work effectively for sorting out build timings but it's certainly more detrimental to gameplay than just paying attention to what's going on.

mye I'd never play with a timer reminding me of stuff, feels like cheating and I won't get any better because as soon as somone remove that clock you have no sense of time.

thats actually is the opposite of truth.
Having a clock is pretty much the best way to get said sense of timing.

the only thing where this would be good is inject larvae, I think. But I also think it is highly unfair to use things like this.

oh lol, i see bronze players knowing these timings in game, not many times i can get early unscouted mutas without him having put up missile turrets or other defense around his lines by the time i get them out.

practice instead of making it easy.

i dont use one. but i have been thinking about it a lot but i always come to the conclusoin that it may brings me some short term sucess but in the long run it doenst make me a better player (even hinders my progress due being dependent on the stopwatch). Furthermore i guess after a few hundred games u'll know anyways when to expect what, just dont let your scouting slip !

nah after some time you just get the feel when stuff happens. also use your own base to get some timing hints. like when my OC has its second 50 energy rdy its time to move my hidden scv around the P base to see his tech, when my warpgates finish the zerg should have lair(soon) etc

you guys never woke up on a sunday at 7am thinking you need to go to work?
it's called conditioning, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_conditioning and its the most efficient way to get your timings down instead of mindlessly practicing.
