What Makes Mid Control Work on Mirage as T
Mid control on Mirage starts with utility. Smokes for Window and Connector, combined with flashes to blind defenders, are key to pushing back CTs and creating space. Skipping utility or mistiming it lets CTs hold strong angles and punish your entries.
Spacing is just as important as utility. Make sure your players are supporting each other and clearing common spots carefully. Moving as a unit prevents CTs from isolating you with aggressive peeks or crossfires.
Once you have mid, use it to pressure the map. Don’t sit idle- work toward splitting a site, forcing rotations, or pulling CTs into uncomfortable positions. Mid control is valuable only if you turn it into map pressure or set up the next phase of your round.
