Protoss TimingsIntroWhile it is obviously impossible to quantify the exact timings of every Starcraft build, this page will hopefully provide a general framework that can be used when playing against Protoss in your games. Keep in mind that Protoss players in the lower leagues will usually lag behind these exact timings, so just because your in-game clock is past time X does not mean that you no longer have to worry about that timing.Comprehensive List of Protoss Timings by In-Game Clock2:00 1:00-2:30 WATCH FOR CANNON RUSH(PvX) 2:45 13 Gateway finishes (PvX)3:00 3:02 First Zealot from Proxy 2gate finishes (PvX) 3:35 Standard Cybernetics Core finishes (PvX) 3:40 Unit-less 1gate FE starts Nexus(PvX)4:005:00 5:05 Earliest Proxy Oraclecan hit your base (PvP/PvT) 5:30 2 Stalker + Mothership Core pressurehits your base (PvT) 5:30 Traps 3gate All-inhits your base (PvP) 5:35-6:30 Mothership Core can first scout your base (PvP/PvT)6:00 6:00 4gatecan hit your base (PvX) 6:30 Gate Expand into 5gate pressurehits your base (PvZ) 6:45 Early Dark Shrine finishes (PvP/PvT)7:00 7:00 2 Base Oraclefinishes (PvT/PvZ) 7:22 Earliest DT Drop(PvT/PvZ) 7:30 Warpgate will finish after aForge Fast Expand(PvZ) 7:35 Early Warp Prism attackshit your base (PvP/PvT) 7:40 1 Base Blink All-inhits your base (PvP/PvT)8:00 8:30 2 Base Blinkhits your base (PvT)9:00 9:30 1st Colossus will finish in standard play (PvT) 9:30 Storm will first finish in standard play (PvT) 3rd base will try to be taken (PvZ)10:00 10:30 1st Colossus will finish after Phoenix opener(PvZ)11:00 Chargelot/Archon Timingscan first hit (PvT) 3rd base will try to be taken (PvP/PvT)12:00 2 Base Colossus Timingscan hit (PvT)13:00 Storm after Colossus-First can be finished (PvT) 3 Base Colossus Timings can hit (PvZ)13:00+Note that after this point (and even before this point), exact Protoss timings become a lot less important, and tactics/strategy become key. In general, when playing against Protoss, denying bases and taxing their multitasking will give you the leg-up in the late-game that you need to pick apart the Armada. Be sure that you can protect your economy while outproducing your Protoss opponent.

Keep in mind that Zerg players in the lower leagues will usually lag behind these exact timings, so just because your in-game clock is past time X does not mean that you no longer have to worry about that timing.Comprehensive List of Zerg Timings by In-Game Clock2:00 2:00 7pool finishes (ZvX) 2:10 Hatchery First placed (ZvX) 2:17 10pool finishes (ZvX) 2:55 14pool finishes (ZvP/ZvZ)3:00 3:10 3rd Hatchery started if going for a3 Hatch before Pool(ZvT/ZvP) 3:12 7pool reaches your base (ZvX) 3:30 10pool reaches your base (ZvX) 3:55 Earliest a3rd Hatchery can go downwhen opening 14 Pool (ZvP)4:00 4:45 Metabolic Boost finishes inSpeedling All-in(ZvP) 4:55 Metabolic Boost finishes after 14gas/14pool (ZvP/ZvZ)5:00 5:20 Standard3rd Hatchery Timingafter gasless 15 Hatchery (ZvT)6:00 6:30 2base Baneling Bust (ZvX) 6:45 Metabolic Boost finishes after Hatchery First (ZvX)7:008:00 8:00 2base Roach/Ling All-incan hit your base (ZvT/ZvZ) 8:45 2base Roach/Bane All-incan hit your base (ZvT/ZvZ)9:00 9:00 2base Spirewill finish (ZvX) 9:15 Earliest a 2base Swarm Host/Queen Nydus can hit your base (ZvP)10:00 10:00 +1/+1 Roach Timingcan hit your base (ZvT/ZvZ)11:00 3base Speed Roach/Baneling Timingcan hit your base (ZvT) 3base Spire will finish (ZvP/ZvT)12:00+ Depending on the amount of aggression in the game, Zerg can finish Hive research around this time (ZvX)Note that after this point (and even before this point), exact Zerg timings become a lot less important, and tactics/strategy become key. In general, when playing against Zerg, denying bases and positioning aggressively will give you the leg-up in the late-game that you need to crush the swarm. Be sure that you have the map vision necessary to spot runbys and prevent your army from being surrounded in the open field.
