Smart Ways to Handle an AWP as T on Mirage
Don’t give the AWP what it wants- avoid peeking common angles and use flashes or smokes to cross high-risk spots like Mid and A Ramp. Make the AWPer move by forcing them off positions with utility or double-peeking from different spots.
Trade kills and work together. If your team knows the AWP’s location, challenge it with multiple players or split up your attack to stretch the CT defense. Forcing the AWPer to reposition opens up new space for your team to work with.
Timing matters. Wait for your utility before committing and don’t hesitate if you know the AWP is stuck. The goal is to make the AWPer uncomfortable and punish them whenever they miss or get isolated.
