Well, with banshees, if you're seeing them when they're cloaked, but not moving or attacking, something is wrong.

Roaches or infestors, they're harder because they can't automatically attack and give themselves away, but if your eyes are scanning between the minimap and the entrance to your nat, then they are really easy to see.

Observers, well, you sometimes get lucky. I have no idea how pros do it, but I'm guessing they're just used to seeing observers and recognizing the blur. Also, isn't that why zergs are starting to just put random spores around their tech buildings whenever they have money? It isn't extremely common, but it's a good idea.

But when you're looking at a deathball, it is pretty easy to see where the obsv is. It's just that you are looking directly at it and not worrying about injects at the same time. Usually, because for some reason the deathballs always come in the middle of a production cycle.

I hate when people compare SC2 and rochambeu. One race isn't fucking supposed to counter another one. | Protoss isn't OP. Their units on the other hand....

Insert/Delete works pretty well.

go to my documents/starcraft II/variables.txt

and make sure these 2 lines are there:

simplifiedCloaking=0
simplifiedShaders=0

you will notice cloaked units/force fields way better.

You can but you almost have to know that they are there and pay CLOSE attention. Its really not feasible to see them just as you would a cloaked unit running by.
