Overview
The Timing Heatmap pulls the same strategies as the Playbook but presents them as a heatmap of timings — each strategy is broken down by the seconds of the round when it tends to happen, so you can see at a glance which timings a team prefers for every play.
Filters are shared with the Playbook and Anti-Strat through the same store, so the team, map, match limit, and time period you pick in any of those modes are already loaded here.

Filters
The full Playbook filter set is available here — same controls, same shared store. Use them to restrict the heatmap to the exact subset of rounds you want to study:
- Team — The squad whose timings you are studying.
- Map — The active map within that team's playbook.
- Side — Toggle between the team playing on CT or T.
- Buy type — Filter by the team's economy: full buy, force, eco, etc.
- Opponent buy type — Same filter applied to the enemy economy — useful to isolate executes against ecos vs. full buys.
- Time period — Last week, month, three months, year or all time. Shared with Playbook and Anti-Strat.
- Match limit — Cap the analysis to the team's last N matches.
- Map limit — Cap by the last N times the team played the selected map.
- Round time — Restrict to a phase of the round (early/mid/late) or a custom time window.
- Match selector — Hand-pick specific matches from the list to include in the analysis.
- Opponent view — Flip from the team's own plays to the timings of strategies opponents have run against them.

Expanding Strategies
Each strategy in the heatmap can be expanded to drop down to the individual rounds where it was detected, grouped by their timing buckets.
From the expanded view, click any specific timing to open the round directly in the inline player and watch exactly how that execution went down. Useful when a particular bucket stands out and you want to confirm what is happening at that second.

Reading the Colors
The heatmap uses a single warm scale so you can read the most-used timings at a glance:
Light orange — the timings the team uses the most for that strategy.
Dark brown — the timings they use the least.
Everything in between fades smoothly from one to the other, so a glance at the row tells you whether the team is consistent on a single tempo or splits between several timings.

What to Use it For
Knowing the timings opponents prefer changes how you set up your defense and how you spend utility. Some practical reads:
- When you'll get hit — The brightest cells on an execute play tell you the seconds where the entry is most likely to land — be holding angles and counter-utility ready by then.
- When utility comes out — Smokes, flashes and molotovs cluster around the same timings as the executes that need them. Predicting that lets you save your own utility for the right moment.
- Positioning — If a team almost never hits a site before the 0:50 mark, you can rotate aggressively early and hold tighter as the dominant timing approaches.
