Adapting to Constant Smokes as CT on Mirage
When Ts throw smokes every round, you need to be ready to change your setup. Don’t always stand behind the same smoke- mix up your spots and look for new angles to catch players crossing. Sometimes it’s better to pull back, let the smoke fade, and retake space together later.
Using utility helps slow down the T side even when vision is blocked. HE grenades or flashes over the smoke can push them back or force them to wait. If your team keeps communicating and sharing info, you can keep track of where Ts might be pushing through the smokes.
Staying patient is important. Avoid running through smokes without backup, and focus on keeping your team spread so you don’t get boxed in. When you adapt to the smokes and work together, it’s easier to take back map control or find a good timing for a retake.
