CT-Side Guide for Mirage - Navigating Site A, Site B, and Mid Control

[EliminatorCRAK]

Mirage - Site A: CT Side Navigation and Callouts

Navigating Site A from the CT side on Mirage can be challenging due to its multiple entry points. Here are some key callouts based on positioning:

1. Positioned at Entrance:

Focus on callouts around Palace, Ramp, and Tetris.



2. Positioned at Stairs:

Your primary callouts should cover Palace but also watch for potential threats sneaking through Connector.

Be mindful of Catwalk, as this can reveal a B-push from Mid.



3. Site A Takeover:

If the T side launches a push, gather intel on hiding spots, which is crucial for retaking the site. Common spots include Firebox, Sandwich, Tetris, and Entrance.

Mirage - Site B: Defending on CT Side

Defending Site B on Mirage is relatively straightforward for CTs. Here are key positions and callouts:

1. Positioned at Arch:

Listen for any entry noises from Kitchen and call for a rotation if necessary.



2. Covering T Apartments:

As long as you have a clear view of T Apartments—from Window, Van, Arch, or Bench—you can make direct callouts.

T-side’s approach to B is often quick, making fast callouts challenging. Prioritize key spots where CTs often hide, such as Van and Bench, while some may hold Window to slow the T advance.

Clear these positions, and you should have control over Site B.
