[0:00] I'm Faceit level 10 in CS2, and this is
[0:02] every essential smoke I throw on T side
[0:04] Mirage ranked by how often I use them.
[0:06] Most guides just dump lineups. This one
[0:08] tells you exactly what to learn first.
[0:10] Splitting these into three tiers. Tier
[0:12] one, you throw these every single round.
[0:13] Tier two, execute smokes for when you're
[0:15] committing to a site. Tier three, the
[0:17] advanced ones most players never bother
[0:19] learning. Let's go. Tier one, these are
[0:21] non-negotiable. First, we're going to
[0:22] start with the window smoke. You're
[0:23] going to take yourself into this corner
[0:25] here. You're going to look at this rug.
[0:27] You're going to aim at the tip of the
[0:29] second mound on the rug and then jump
[0:31] throw.
[0:33] This is going to land perfectly in
[0:34] window. It's going to bounce off of cat
[0:36] and give you a perfect bloom, not
[0:38] allowing them to see around it at all.
[0:41] Smoke two is going to be top mid. So,
[0:42] you're going to go into this corner next
[0:44] to the trash can. You're going to aim on
[0:46] the tip of this antenna
[0:49] and just left click throw.
[0:51] It's going to land perfectly on the top
[0:52] mid. This smoke going to protect you
[0:54] from the op in window. If they do break
[0:56] that window smoke, you have a second
[0:57] layer of defense here, allowing you to
[0:59] flash up,
[1:01] cross,
[1:02] and still have your life.
[1:04] Number three is connector. You're going
[1:06] to go back into this corner by the trash
[1:07] can, aim at the rug, and look for this
[1:09] second step on the corner of it. Just
[1:12] left click jump throw.
[1:14] It's going to land perfectly into
[1:15] connector. If you're not smoking con, I
[1:17] don't know what you're doing. I mean,
[1:18] it's just free picks for the CTs. This
[1:21] takes 2 seconds to throw, so just make
[1:22] sure you're throwing that. Smoke four is
[1:24] going to be cat. Once again, we're going
[1:25] back into the corner by the trash can.
[1:27] You're going to find this green leaf
[1:29] sticking out here. Go to the tip of it
[1:32] and then jump throw.
[1:36] It's going to land perfectly on cat.
[1:38] It's going to close them off from just
[1:39] taking mid without a flash or something
[1:41] like that. It's going to give you a
[1:42] little bit of a heads up, and it's not
[1:44] going to leave a gap over here to where
[1:45] they can freely sit around the smoke.
[1:47] Like some of the cat smokes land here,
[1:50] they can sit here and fight you. This
[1:51] one, as long as somebody's peeking to
[1:53] hold it from here, they can't come out
[1:55] without a flash or they're dead. All
[1:56] right, guys. tier two, these are
[1:58] executes only. We're going to start at
[1:59] the A site. You're going to want to
[2:00] locate this pillar here, go to the left
[2:03] side of the middle. You're going to aim
[2:05] up here at this wooden beam on the
[2:06] corner of it, and then left click jump
[2:08] throw. This is going to block off CT
[2:10] from any enemies, whether they're
[2:11] opping, rifling, whatever it might be.
[2:13] This is going to keep them from being
[2:15] able to see you when you come out ramp.
[2:16] All right, guys, the next two smokes
[2:18] we're actually going to do together from
[2:19] the same spot here on A. We're going to
[2:20] throw jungle and stairs. You're going to
[2:22] walk into this corner here. You're going
[2:24] to aim a little bit left of the middle
[2:25] of this block. [music] Just left click
[2:27] throw. That's going to block off jungle.
[2:29] You're going to go straight down to this
[2:30] thick part of the bricks. Aim about in
[2:32] the middle of it. Left and right click
[2:34] jump throw. This is going to land on
[2:36] stairs. It's going to protect you guys
[2:38] from stairs players and those jungle and
[2:40] con players.
[2:42] All right, guys, still in tier two, but
[2:43] we're on B site this time. We're going
[2:45] to walk ourselves into this corner, and
[2:46] we're actually going to throw the three
[2:47] smokes that we need most from the exact
[2:49] same spot. Super simple. You're going to
[2:51] aim on the second window in the middle
[2:53] of it. You're going to left click jump
[2:55] throw. That's going to hit door. You're
[2:57] going to aim at the top corner of this
[2:58] brick here.
[3:00] Left click jump throw there as well. And
[3:02] then we're going to aim at the left
[3:03] corner of this building.
[3:04] Just left click no throw.
[3:07] And that's going to hit cat. Let me show
[3:09] you guys what this looks like here. So,
[3:10] window's fully smoked, door's fully
[3:12] smoked, and then you have cat popping
[3:14] here a couple seconds later.
[3:16] Everything you need.
[3:17] All right, guys, last but not least is
[3:19] tier four. These are smokes that most
[3:21] players never take the time to learn,
[3:22] but can actually make the difference in
[3:24] game.
[3:25] >> [music]
[3:25] >> If you find yourself top mid here behind
[3:27] these boxes, a super easy smoke, let's
[3:29] say if window's not smoked here, aim at
[3:31] the left corner of this box, move over a
[3:33] half an inch. Just left click throw.
[3:35] That's going to block window. It's super
[3:37] quick, super easy, and it might get you
[3:39] out of a bad situation.
[3:41] And then from that same spot, we're
[3:43] going to go back here by the box. Left
[3:45] click throw for window.
[3:47] You're going to go up here to the right
[3:49] dot on this palm tree, this little right
[3:51] black dot. you're going to left jump
[3:54] throw, and this is going to block off
[3:55] CT.
[3:57] So, this is kind of a cheeky smoke.
[3:59] Let's say if you're wanting to do a
[4:00] fake, or maybe you have teammates
[4:01] lurking out A, and they don't have a
[4:03] smoke, you can throw that from top mid
[4:04] and help them out there.
[4:06] All right, guys. We got two more smokes
[4:07] from back here behind this box on top
[4:09] mid. I think you guys are really going
[4:10] to find these ones interesting. You
[4:12] might not have seen them before. So,
[4:13] we're going to go back into this corner.
[4:14] We're going to crouch. We're going to
[4:16] look up at this palm tree, and you're
[4:18] going to find this dot, this opening in
[4:20] this leaf here. You're going to want to
[4:21] aim at it, left click, and just throw.
[4:24] This is going to cover top con in case
[4:26] you want to do maybe lurk up con, have
[4:29] it smoke so that you can't get peeked
[4:30] while you're pushing. Maybe you want to
[4:32] go cat. Um it can be used for different
[4:34] things, but as you can see, once it
[4:36] blooms, they cannot see through it.
[4:39] No way for them to see through it here.
[4:41] So, that can be a really useful useful
[4:42] smoke at times. We're going to go back
[4:44] top mid here and throw one last smoke.
[4:47] This is going to be the jungle smoke.
[4:48] It's super easy. Aim at that top corner
[4:50] of this palm tree, left click throw.
[4:53] This is going to cover up jungle. And
[4:55] these are just a couple smokes that you
[4:56] might not have seen, or maybe even known
[4:58] about, that can really change your game
[5:00] play and give you a few more cool plays
[5:02] to make in those Faceit lobbies. That's
[5:04] every T-side smoke on Mirage ranked.
[5:07] Tier one was default smokes that you
[5:09] probably should throw every single
[5:10] round. Tier two was executes made for
[5:13] committing to a certain site. And then
[5:15] tier three were smokes that you probably
[5:17] want to take to the workshop, practice
[5:18] them, and then use them in game. If you
[5:20] want the full T-side breakdown on how to
[5:22] play Mirage, how to read the enemy, and
[5:24] know what plays to make, comment T-side
[5:26] guide down in the comment section below.
[5:29] I'll respond to every single one. Make
[5:31] sure to like and subscribe if this video
[5:32] helped you at all, and I will catch you
[5:34] guys in the next one.
