Well, I have to side with Maxperson on this - if you can't perceive a spell being cast, how can you counter it?
now... could someone learn which eyes shoots which rays, what are the telltale signs of a beholder about to discharge a spell with an eye? Maybe yeah, someone with that training could counterspell a beholder. But most people - even experienced adventurers - wouldn't know this. This isn't "you need fire to fight trolls" level of knowledge here.
