Mirage Mid Control
Win window and connector first. The site hit is the second sentence of the round.
Best for: T-sides that keep running A executes into four players
Step-by-step
- 1
One player contests mid with a teammate who can trade. Do not solo peek window.
- 2
Support smokes window or top mid depending on the CT AWP. Call which one you threw.
- 3
Once mid is yours, connector becomes the rotate. Take it or fake it.
- 4
Collapse A from ramp + connector or B from apps + short — with numbers, not as two duos.
- 5
If you lose the first mid duel, play a late default. Do not force a 1:50 palace walk.
Tips
- A mid pick is a round win condition. Treat it like a bombsite.
- Underpass is a path, not a hiding spot for the whole round.
- CTs who lose mid will stack a site. Lurk the other one.
