[0:00] Hey guys, what's going on? Today I'm
[0:01] going to be going over all the essential
[0:02] needs you need for Mirage. This video
[0:04] will cover everything you need for mid A
[0:06] or B on T-side and CT side. And real
[0:08] quick, only a small percentage of my
[0:10] viewers are actually subscribed. So if
[0:11] you end up liking the video, please
[0:12] subscribe. It's free and you can always
[0:13] change your mind later. But yeah, let's
[0:15] get right into it. Probably the most
[0:16] important smoke you need to know in
[0:17] Mirage is the top mid smoke. There is a
[0:19] newer version of this that is better
[0:20] than the one from CSGO. You just come to
[0:22] this side of the trash can, aim at the
[0:23] top of this antenna right here, and left
[0:25] click throw. The smoke will bounce here
[0:26] and land like this, so you can get out
[0:27] top mid whenever you want. the CTs won't
[0:29] be able to see you. Cross out the boxes,
[0:30] even if they're playing from con. So,
[0:32] you're able to get out to boxes whenever
[0:33] you want. If you want to smoke window,
[0:34] you can stand in the same corner, look
[0:36] for this square at the top of the door,
[0:37] aim in the top middle, and then press D
[0:39] and jump throw. The smoke will land like
[0:40] this and block off window. You can also
[0:42] smoke connector from the same spot. So,
[0:43] just stand here, look for this point on
[0:45] the rug, and then jump throw. This smoke
[0:47] will block off connector, and any of the
[0:48] CTs will not be able to help fight
[0:49] towards mid. So, technically, you could
[0:51] have two teammates drop you a smoke. You
[0:52] can throw all three mid smokes like
[0:55] this, but throwing all three of these
[0:57] smokes at the start of the round might
[0:58] be overkill. Now, as for the fast window
[1:00] smokes, it is pretty important that you
[1:01] learn all the lineups, or at least just
[1:03] some of them, because the faster you get
[1:04] a smoke down a window, the faster you
[1:06] can take mid. So, I'm quickly just going
[1:07] to show all the lineups, and you can
[1:08] pause or slow down the video to see
[1:09] them.
[1:19] and the rest of the spawns are too close
[1:21] to the wall for you to have an instant
[1:22] window smoke. I think there are lineups
[1:24] where you can like aim at a point and
[1:25] then back up and then throw, but that's
[1:27] not really needed as long as someone on
[1:28] your team knows some of the smokes.
[1:30] Someone's going to have it basically
[1:31] every round, so don't worry about that.
[1:33] When you're flashing your teammates out
[1:34] top mid, you're going to want to throw a
[1:35] flash that gets the window player. So,
[1:37] just run up here at the start of the
[1:38] round, aim for this black mark right
[1:39] here on the wall, and then just run
[1:40] forward and jump through. This flash
[1:42] will land here in the middle of mid and
[1:43] blind anyone playing within window and
[1:44] trying to hold top mid. If they are
[1:46] playing up on this railing though, they
[1:47] won't get blind. But there really isn't
[1:48] any flash that will get that from over
[1:49] there. That's why when you're running
[1:50] towards top mid, you want to throw a
[1:52] flash off the wall into valley so that
[1:53] anyone on the ledge might get blind and
[1:54] then people towards con will get blind
[1:56] as well. Another flash that is useful
[1:57] when you're running out top mid is a
[1:58] flash behind the boxes. So as you're
[2:00] running out, you can just throw a flash
[2:01] like this. It'll land behind the boxes
[2:02] and then anyone trying to run up valley
[2:04] will get blinded by that as well. And of
[2:05] course, your teammates running out mid
[2:06] will not get blind. If you're not
[2:08] throwing a connector smoke at the start
[2:09] of the round, an important Molly that
[2:10] you might be throwing is a molly into
[2:11] connector. This basically just stops any
[2:13] of the CTs from being able to fight
[2:14] early mid from con. But most of the time
[2:16] CTS will just premote con anyway. So
[2:18] this molly might be pretty useless. So
[2:20] instead of just throwing our molly on
[2:21] top of a smoke and wasting it, something
[2:22] we can do is just molly underpass. Since
[2:24] a really common play for the CTS is to
[2:25] just sneak around the smoke and peek
[2:27] towards under, we can just stop that
[2:28] entirely by coming here aiming towards
[2:29] the A and left click throwing our Molly.
[2:31] Now the CTs cannot peek towards
[2:32] underpass. And if we have any teammates
[2:33] walking up under, they will be safe and
[2:35] we also won't have to worry about it if
[2:36] we're trying to take out mid. Then once
[2:37] you actually have mid control, a nade
[2:38] that is really important is a re smoke
[2:40] on window. So if you're ever out boxes
[2:41] with the smoke, you can just run against
[2:42] the back wall like this. Aim here at the
[2:44] bottom of the antenna, then just run
[2:45] forward and left click throw. This will
[2:47] resoke window. And if you're ever top
[2:48] mid and you want to respoke connector,
[2:50] just come into this corner, aim in the
[2:51] middle of this satellite, and left click
[2:52] throw your smoke. So this will resoke
[2:54] con. And if you want to throw a nice
[2:55] window molly, you can aim at the bottom
[2:56] of this curb right here, run until
[2:58] you're almost hitting it, and then jump
[2:59] throw. This will molly off window. So
[3:00] you can throw a nice net like this to
[3:02] try and run up cat. Then if you're ever
[3:03] scaling towards valley, an important net
[3:04] is the top con net. So what you want to
[3:06] do is just bounce a smoke off this wall
[3:08] like this. This will smoke top con,
[3:09] blocking the CTs from being able to
[3:10] fight into connector. And then after you
[3:12] throw that smoke, you can bounce a molly
[3:13] off the wall like this, mollying out
[3:15] anyone playing in these left cubbies.
[3:16] You can throw the same nade set from
[3:17] underpass if you just come here and
[3:18] bounce a smoke like this. And then just
[3:20] simply throw your molly like this on the
[3:22] floor to the left. A less known nade set
[3:24] that is still really important is a
[3:26] ladder molotov and a flash. So if your
[3:27] team is trying to take up towards
[3:28] ladder, you can throw a nade set like
[3:29] this. Obviously, if there's no window
[3:31] smoke, you can just throw a mlly into
[3:32] ladder like this. But this is risky and
[3:33] usually you want to do this when there
[3:34] is a window smoke up. So, if there is a
[3:36] window smoke up, you just want to come
[3:37] here against this wall, look for this
[3:38] black dot right here, aim a little bit
[3:39] to the left, and then just run backwards
[3:40] and left click throw your molly like
[3:41] this. You run backwards until you're
[3:43] touching the bench. This molly clears
[3:44] out ladder entirely, and then after you
[3:46] throw your molly, stand in the same
[3:47] spot, aim a little bit to the left of
[3:48] this light, and then just take a step
[3:49] forward and left click throw. This flash
[3:50] will blind anyone trying to run out of
[3:52] ladder. And if you have a teammate
[3:53] close, they will just have a very free
[3:54] time taking ladder control. Sorry for
[3:55] the interruption, but real quick, I do
[3:57] have to say thank you to the sponsor of

[4:27] to use the link in my description and
[4:29] have fun trading. All right, now that
[4:30] we're done with mid, let's go over nades
[4:31] towards A. The most important smokes to
[4:33] know towards A are the right side
[4:34] smokes. So the jungle smoke and the
[4:36] stair smoke. You're going to have one
[4:37] person throwing these. So you just want
[4:38] to come into this corner, get dropped a
[4:39] smoke. Look for this black line on the
[4:41] wall right here. Left and right click
[4:42] jump throw. That will be our stair
[4:43] smoke. And for the jungle smoke, just
[4:45] aimed a little bit to the left of the
[4:46] top of this pillar. Left click throw
[4:47] that smoke and it will land towards the
[4:48] jungle like this. As for flashes, some
[4:51] of the best flashes for your team going
[4:52] out ramp are the lamp flashes. So just
[4:54] have someone stand around here and left
[4:55] click throw a flash like this at the
[4:56] lamp. This will blind anyone close or on
[4:58] site, and none of the teammates that are
[4:59] running out of ramp will get blind.
[5:02] Another smoke you can't throw that is
[5:03] less useful is the CT smoke. So you can
[5:05] just come to this line on the wall, aim
[5:06] right here, and then jump throw. This
[5:07] will smoke CT, but I don't recommend
[5:09] throwing this as much as you just throw
[5:10] the right side smokes. Because if we
[5:12] throw the right side smokes and the CT
[5:13] smoke, we're not really going to have
[5:14] any map control that we can take.
[5:16] Whereas if we just throw the right side
[5:17] smokes, we can take spawn without the CT
[5:18] smoke up and then play the retake from
[5:20] spawn. Otherwise, we're just giving the
[5:21] CTs all the control and it's pretty hard
[5:23] to play the retake. If you're in palace
[5:24] and you're a executing, you're going to
[5:25] want to know the underbalm. So just come
[5:27] to this pillar right here on the left
[5:28] side. Aim a little bit below the top of
[5:29] this wall like this. Run forward and
[5:31] left click throw the molly. And this
[5:32] will mlly under bel. And if you ever get
[5:34] smoked palace and you can't see your
[5:35] lineup, just come into this corner here.
[5:36] Aim at the left of this mark like this.
[5:38] Run until you're in the back wall. Then
[5:39] just left click throw the molly. A nice
[5:42] lur smoke you can throw from palace is
[5:43] coming to the pillar right here. Looking
[5:45] for this line right here. Aim at the top
[5:46] and then crouch. Left click throw your
[5:48] smoke. The smoke will bounce like this
[5:49] and poof out covering underbulk and top
[5:51] bal. And you might be able to walk out
[5:52] and get some pretty free kills. And it
[5:54] just applies a lot of pressure to the
[5:55] CTS. And if you're ever out Tetris and
[5:57] you want to light it, just come here,
[5:58] aim at this square, and then jump throw.
[6:00] This will land here and force anyone
[6:01] playing ticket to run out or fall back.
[6:03] You can also smoke jungle from here. So
[6:04] just aim in the middle of these two
[6:05] points right here. Left click throw.
[6:06] This will smoke off deep jungle if
[6:08] you're trying to take towards top con.
[6:09] And if you want to smoke top con from
[6:10] here, come into this corner and then
[6:11] just look for this pillar right here.
[6:13] Aim a little bit to the right and then
[6:14] left click throw. And this will smoke
[6:15] top con, but it will be a little poofy
[6:16] for the CTs to be able to lurk out. A
[6:18] better version of the conades is coming
[6:20] here. If you're safe, look for this
[6:21] white mark on the wall right here. Just
[6:23] aim at that mark and then jump through
[6:24] your smoke. And then you can also throw
[6:25] a molly into deep jungle like this. That
[6:27] way, you're smoking top con and mulling
[6:29] deep jungle at the same time. Now, as
[6:30] for beads, there's not really too much
[6:31] you need to know. For the market window
[6:33] smoke, you just want to come here, aim
[6:34] at the corner of this roof, but just a
[6:35] little bit higher than you used to in
[6:36] CS:GO. That way, when the smoke lands,
[6:37] it will land further in a market and not
[6:39] poof out so much, but it still does poof
[6:41] out quite a bit. Another nice smoke you
[6:42] can throw from the same spot is the cat
[6:44] smoke. So, just stand in the same spot,
[6:45] but aim here at the corner of the roof.
[6:47] Left click, throw this smoke, and this
[6:49] will land cat and block any of the CTs
[6:50] from trying to rotate in and help their
[6:52] B teammate. Now, as for flashes, there
[6:53] is a certain way you want to throw them.
[6:55] For your first flash, you want to aim a
[6:56] little bit more to the left and throw it
[6:58] over like this. That way, anyone playing
[6:59] under the window and on site will be
[7:01] getting blinded. But if you throw this
[7:02] flash every time you flash over B,
[7:04] you're going to be blinding your
[7:05] teammates because it lands around here.
[7:06] That's why you want it only to be the
[7:07] first flash while they're scaling out
[7:08] because they will not get blinded. And
[7:10] then for your next flashes, you want to
[7:11] flash higher to the right. So once you
[7:13] throw your first flash to blind anyone
[7:14] playing under the window, you aim
[7:15] further to the right and then run and
[7:16] throw the flash like this. That way,
[7:18] it's landing above the roof behind them
[7:19] and they won't be getting blind while
[7:20] they're scaling out. If you want to
[7:21] throw a flash out the window, you can
[7:23] just stand in this corner here, aim at
[7:24] this dot, and then left click throw.
[7:26] This flash will blind here and blind
[7:27] anyone playing within get right as well
[7:28] as anyone standing in jail. If you're
[7:30] entering and you have a flash, you can
[7:31] also throw a flash into midsight like
[7:32] this as you're running out. This flash
[7:34] is really strong because it will blind
[7:35] anyone trying to run back from cat,
[7:36] whereas you running out of apps will not
[7:38] get blinded by the
[7:39] flash. Some basic mollies you need are
[7:42] the top bal molly that can easily be
[7:43] thrown by just mulling onto top balcon.
[7:45] If anyone's playing up here, they will
[7:46] get burned out and have to fall back.
[7:47] You can also molly van very easily. You
[7:49] just bounce it off the back wall. If you
[7:51] want to molly bench, just throw it
[7:52] through this window like so. Anyone
[7:54] bench or jail will get mollied out. You
[7:55] can also molly empty pillar by throwing
[7:57] off the wall like this. This will land
[7:58] empty and molly anyone trying to play it
[8:00] back here. If you're outside and you
[8:02] want to respoke mark window, just come
[8:03] into this corner at default plan. Aim at
[8:05] this mark on the wall and then jump
[8:06] throw. The smoke will bounce off the
[8:08] wall and land in mark it and res it.
[8:10] There's also a really nice flash for
[8:11] mark door. You can throw from here. If
[8:12] you're in the same spot, just aim at the
[8:13] corner of empty like so. Left, right
[8:15] click, jump throw, and then you can peek
[8:16] door with this flash and anyone playing
[8:17] within door will be blind. So anyone
[8:19] trying to scale out will be completely
[8:20] blind. All right. Now, as for CT side,
[8:22] let's start with mid. If you want to
[8:23] molly boxes on CT side, then you need to
[8:25] know the lineup through the window
[8:26] smoke. So just jump up here on the
[8:27] railing, aim at this corner, run until
[8:29] you're in the back of the window, and
[8:30] then run forward and left click throw.
[8:31] This will land here and molly out boxes.
[8:33] If you want to throw this faster as
[8:34] you're coming through the rat hole, aim
[8:35] at this line right here, and then just
[8:37] go to the same lineup as before. And
[8:38] then you're going to be able to throw
[8:39] the molly the same way. It was a little
[8:40] bit more to the left, but as you can
[8:42] see, it's still a good molly. And of
[8:43] course, you would only throw it like
[8:44] that if the window smoke is getting
[8:45] thrown fast. If you want to H the window
[8:47] smoke, all you have to do is come here
[8:48] to this wall, right click the nade like
[8:49] this in the air and then jump up on the
[8:50] railing, then you can peek window
[8:52] without being able to be seen from the
[8:53] T-side. This makes kind of like a
[8:54] one-way for you and it's harder for them
[8:56] to see you than it is for you to see
[8:57] them. If your connector player is ever
[8:58] trying to peek underpass, if you stand
[8:59] against this bench right here and then
[9:01] throw a flash like this, aiming right
[9:02] here on the wall, it will bounce into
[9:03] underpass and blind anyone trying to
[9:04] walk up. If you don't know how to smoke
[9:06] bottom con, just stand against this
[9:07] wall, look for the bottom of this broom
[9:08] right here, and then just left click.
[9:09] This is the type of connector smoke that
[9:11] you can use to lurk out and peek towards
[9:12] underpass because you're going to be
[9:13] very safe from mid. But if you want the
[9:14] smoke to put out the tease Molly, you
[9:15] have to bounce it further off the wall
[9:16] like this so it lands bottom con. That
[9:18] way if the TE's Molly con, it'll smoke
[9:19] it and you can peek towards top mid. As
[9:21] the cat player, all you really need to
[9:22] know is how to flash over mid to peak
[9:23] for yourself. So just any sort of over
[9:25] mid flash like this is all you really
[9:26] need. Just flash over and then peek off
[9:27] cat. This flash will blind anyone in
[9:28] mid. You can throw a lurk smoke for
[9:30] yourself, but this is less common.
[9:31] There's not really a lineup for this.
[9:32] You can just throw it off the wall like
[9:33] this and block off any of the TE's from
[9:34] trying to run up cat. And then of
[9:35] course, make sure you know how to molly
[9:36] underpass if you're trying to fight for
[9:38] mid. That way you just block the T's
[9:39] from trying to take it and you can peek
[9:40] off cat without having to worry about
[9:41] them coming here and killing you. You
[9:42] can also throw a nade the same way and
[9:44] this will chunk anyone walking up under.
[9:46] As for molly ramp on CT side, all you
[9:47] have to do is throw it like this. This
[9:48] way the T's can't jump up on the back
[9:50] wall and also it's hard for them to see
[9:51] over the molly. You just run until you
[9:53] hit the end of the missiles. Aim a
[9:54] little bit above this part of the roof
[9:55] like so. And the mole should land like
[9:57] this. As the A player, you need to know
[9:59] how to flash over at the start of the
[10:00] round. At the start of every single
[10:01] round, someone has to be flashing mid
[10:02] from A. So just throw your flash through
[10:04] the trees like this over the roof. That
[10:05] way anyone top mid will be getting blind
[10:06] while they're trying to swing out mid.
[10:08] Please, please, please, just make sure
[10:09] you're throwing this flash every round
[10:10] if you're starting towards A. If you
[10:11] want to smoke off ramp from CT, there is
[10:13] a couple of ways you can do it. One way
[10:14] is just standing here at ticket and then
[10:15] just making a rectangle with these spots
[10:17] like this and left click throwing your
[10:18] smoke in the middle. This will land here
[10:19] and smoke off ramp. You can also come
[10:21] into the front of missiles and then look
[10:22] for these two points on the roof. Then
[10:23] just aim in the middle and left click
[10:24] throw. And this will smoke off ramp as
[10:26] well. Now, as for retake towards A, if
[10:27] you're towards top con, you can smoke
[10:29] off palace like this. Just come against
[10:30] this wall and then aim right here on
[10:31] this part of the roof. Left click throw.
[10:33] This will smoke off palace perfectly.
[10:34] And you can also molly firebox from the
[10:36] same spot. If you just aim here between
[10:37] these two parts of the wall, this will
[10:39] molly anyone playing within firebox. And
[10:40] if you just aim a little bit lower from
[10:42] the same spot, you can molly default and
[10:43] it will land like this. If you're
[10:44] towards jungle and you want to smoke
[10:46] ramp, just stand in this corner. Aim a
[10:47] little bit below this corner of the
[10:48] plank and then crouch. Left click throw
[10:50] your smoke. This will land towards ramp.
[10:51] Then if you throw your molly from the
[10:52] same lineup, it will molly Tetris,
[10:54] forcing anyone up here to fall back and
[10:55] play on the floor. And that will just
[10:56] make your retake a lot easier. As for
[10:58] the B player, the most important nade
[10:59] that you need to know is how to mole up
[11:01] B at the start of the round. So you can
[11:02] run to site like this and throw the
[11:03] molly through the window like so. This
[11:04] will molly deep upper B, but if a T has
[11:06] the best spawn and you have a worse
[11:07] spawn, the T might be able to come
[11:08] through and fight you. So you could just
[11:09] bounce the molly close like this, but I
[11:11] don't really like throwing it this way.
[11:12] So what I do is just come to empty
[11:13] pillar, aim right here on the default
[11:15] box, and then jump throw. The molly will
[11:16] land closer to us, but still deep enough
[11:17] to push the T's back from being able to
[11:19] get so close. And then you can just
[11:20] combine this molly with this nade if any
[11:22] of the T's are trying to play behind the
[11:23] molly. If you're ever playing sight and
[11:24] you want to respoke upper B, you can
[11:25] just aim at this part of the door right
[11:26] here, run forward a little bit, and then
[11:28] left click, throw the smoke. This will
[11:29] smoke them off upper B. But more
[11:31] importantly, you just need to know how
[11:31] to drop this smoke right here if the
[11:33] TE's are trying to come to B. That way
[11:34] you can play around it and play your
[11:35] life. All right, those are all the nades
[11:36] I wanted to go over today. Obviously,
[11:38] it's not every single Nam Mirage, but
[11:39] that would be a super long video and
[11:40] honestly not even worth it. It's just
[11:42] important you get these essential nades
[11:43] down if you want to play this map at a
[11:44] high level. If you have any questions,
[11:46] you can leave a comment down below,
[11:47] check out my Discord, or leave a message
[11:48] in my Twitch chat when I'm live. If
[11:49] you're interested in coaching or demo
[11:51] reviews, I have a metaphy and that is
[11:52] linked in the description below. But
[11:53] yeah, thanks for watching. I hope these
[11:54] needs can help you in your games. See
[11:56] you.
