How to Approach CT Pistol Rounds on Mirage
Early utility makes a difference. Use a smoke or flash to slow down fast T pushes and help your team stay in control. Pistol rounds on Mirage are often decided by which team gets the better trades in the first fights.
Stacking two on A or B can catch Ts off guard, but don’t over-rotate if you haven’t seen the bomb. Trust your setup, stay ready to rotate, and avoid chasing frags alone. Solid holds and quick support make it much harder for Ts to break through.
Communication is everything. Call out where you see Ts, what utility you’re using, and if you need help. Pistol rounds are about quick reactions- work together, cover each other, and play for fast retakes if the Ts manage to get the plant.
