In a complicated map like Ancient, the one thing you can do to shift the odds to your advantage is take mid-control. However, your opponents also know that, and they will be doing the same thing. To help you get an edge when trying to take mid-control on Ancient, here are some of the most effective CS2 Ancient Mid smoke lineups.
All Most Important Ancient Mid Smokes for T-Side
Mid Cheetah From T Spawn
First, we have the smoke lineup for the Cheetah area. Using it will help you push in from the Lower Mid area without worrying about AWPers standing right in front. To use this smoke lineup, stand in the corner of the T Spawn area as shown below, aim between the gap of the building and the tree, also shown below, and do a jump-throw.
Top Mid From Jungle
Now, let’s talk about the spot from where you’ll definitely get sniped if you don’t smoke it off. The Top Mid area offers a significant advantage for the CTs since it’s so close to their spawn, allowing them to quickly take positions with an AWP. To smoke it off, start by standing next to the top-left corner of the brick structure in the center of the Jungle area. After that, crouch down and align your crosshair, as shown in the image below. Finally, do a crouching jump-throw.
Top Mid From Ruins
You can also smoke off the Top Mid area from the Ruins area. To do that, stand in the far right-side corner of the Ruins area, align your crosshair based on the images below, and do a jump-throw. This particular lineup will be more useful for your teammates since you’ll be in the Ruins area, and your most likely path is directly toward the B Site.
Top Mid From T Spawn
Now, if you want a Top Mid smoke lineup that works for whichever plant site or path you take, then this one’s for you. To use this lineup, start by standing next to the wall of the brick structure in the T Spawn area supporting the wooden bridge. After that, place your crosshair on the left edge of the archway for the large door in front of you, as shown in the image below. Finally, do a jump-throw.
Mid Donut From T Spawn
For the final lineup, let’s talk about one that lets you smoke off the Donut area. To do that, stand in the same corner in the T Spawn area as you did for the first lineup, place your crosshair between the gap at the top of the building in front of you, as shown in the image below, and do a jump-throw.
