Playing Default on Mirage as T
Start by spreading across the map. Hold mid, A ramp, and B apps to stop CTs from pushing for early information. Keeping control of these areas gives your team options later.
Use utility to take safe control of mid. Smokes and flashes help clear common spots and make it harder for CTs to peek aggressively. Once mid is secure, Ts can pressure both sites more easily.
Keep communication clear throughout the round. Share info about CT movement or utility so your team knows when to group and execute. Staying patient prevents rushed plays and keeps your default strong.
