What Makes Aggressive Mid Control Work on Mirage as CT
Aggressive mid control starts with early utility. Smokes, HE grenades, and flashes help push Ts off their opening positions and allow CTs to take space safely. Without proper utility, CTs risk getting caught in exposed fights.
Teamwork is critical. CT players should coordinate who takes Window, who supports from Connector or Short, and when to use utility together. Solo plays rarely succeed- aggressive mid control needs to be part of a team setup.
Once mid is secured, CTs should avoid overextending. Take key positions like Top Mid or Ladder Room and fall back into safer setups if Ts apply pressure. The goal is to delay Ts, gather info, and force them into harder mid takes later in the round.
