u look at their items. if they rush bottle they get it fast if they dont then probably at 1:30-2 min
depends on their starting item build. i assume in pro matches, the mid player tries to count the cs of the enemy mid and tells the supports when they'll have bottle.
if they get a 9 damage stat item they'll prob have the courier delivering at the 2 min mark. if they have 2 branches + 2 pooled tangos, they could get bottle after the first wave if they get 3/4 cs
Check items of enemy mid player. If he has something like 2 branches and 2 shared tangos, you can expect fast bottle. If he starts with null tali or wraith band, then it will take more time to farm enough gold. In rare cases you may see ring of regen, sage's mask or any other regen item - that means he will skip bottle.
P.S. Also, support may buy bottle for his mid.

I see how a lot of supports know when the enemy hero buy the bottle and they go for kill the courier.
how do you know when the enemy hero buy the bottle?
Are you waiting like 2 min for it?
Or you just know they will buy it aprox at min 1:30-2:30?
