Mid control on Inferno is usually seen as a T-side playground- but smart CT aggression can break their plans and create early advantages. When done right, aggressive mid control allows CTs to deny space, pressure T defaults, and even take map control back into their hands. In this short lesson, we’ll cover how to approach aggressive mid plays as CT and what to watch out for.

What Makes Aggressive Mid Control Work on Inferno
Aggressive mid control isn’t just about running down mid. It’s about timing your pushes, combining them with supportive utility, and forcing Ts into bad positions. If you peek dry or go solo, you’ll get punished. Instead, coordinate flashes, clear angles together, and play off each other’s timings.
It’s also about understanding the risk. Mid aggression on Inferno is high reward but high risk. You have to commit as a team, know when to back off, and always have a plan for what you do after taking space. Whether you fall back into passive setups or keep the pressure, your team has to be ready to adapt.
Most importantly, don’t overuse mid aggression. Good teams will punish it if you become predictable. Vary your timings, mix in different setups, and make sure your aggression is part of a wider plan- not just a random play.
