Mirage — The mid-control classic
Bomb DefusalBalanced
Mirage rewards whoever owns mid. Window and connector control dictate every A execute and every B split, so the round is usually decided before utility even lands on site.
Key callouts
- Mid / Window
- Connector
- Palace
- Ramp
- A site / Triple
- B Apartments
How to improve on Mirage
Most lost Mirage rounds trace back to mid: a cheap peek, a missed connector smoke, or a rotate that gave up window for free. Tightening one mid habit moves your win rate more than learning ten new A executes.
