Mirage Utility You MUST KNOW in UNDER 10 Minutes! | CS2 Mirage Utility Guide

[00:00] So, Mirage is an absolute fan favorite

[00:01] map and one of the most played maps all

[00:03] across CS2. So, in today's video, I'm

[00:04] going to show off the ultimate utility

[00:06] that you need to know when you're

[00:07] playing Mirage to make your games a

[00:08] little bit better and hopefully should

[00:09] end up winning you some more games. But

[00:10] without any more yapping, let's [music]

[00:11] jump in. Just a quick shout out before

[00:13] we jump into the video. This video is

[00:14] sponsored by Advance. If you guys are

[00:21] Use code Tiger that I'll put up on the

[00:22] screen now for 10% off of everything.

[00:24] Now, that's enough for me. Let's get

[00:24] back to the video. So, first off, over

[00:26] at A, I'm going to show you how to throw

[00:27] these two smokes here to cover both

[00:28] stairs and the jungle area. Most people

[00:30] know the CT smoke, but a lot of people

[00:32] don't know how to throw both the stairs

[00:33] and jungle smoke. So, we're going to

[00:34] start there. In order to throw these two

[00:35] smokes, we're going to run out of spawn.

[00:37] Jump up on top of this ledge here. We're

[00:38] want to run all the way over until we

[00:40] meet the corner of this pillar here.

[00:41] Just tuck yourself all the way up in the

[00:42] corner of the wood until you stop

[00:43] moving. For the first smoke, we're going

[00:45] to throw for jungle. And for that, we're

[00:46] going to want to aim all the way up at

[00:47] the top of this block here. It doesn't

[00:48] have to be precise at all, as you can

[00:50] kind of see in the preview on the bottom

[00:51] left. Anywhere in this general location

[00:53] works. I tend to just go basically a

[00:55] little bit to the left of center and

[00:57] then just left click throw. And then for

[00:58] the stair smoke, we're going to aim all

[00:59] the way down, basically straight down

[01:01] from the jungle smoke. It's a little gap

[01:02] in the bricks here. Once again, doesn't

[01:04] have to be [music] all that precise. For

[01:05] this one, you're going to left click,

[01:06] right click, and jump through.

[01:10] As you can see, by the time it lands,

[01:11] both these areas be [music] covered

[01:13] perfectly. Now, moving on while we're

[01:14] still outside of a main, next is the

[01:16] only flash you're going to need to know.

[01:17] This flash is absolutely insane. But

[01:18] we're going to run all the way out. Look

[01:20] at this little door here. We're going to

[01:21] want to line up in the direct middle.

[01:23] this little [music] grill piece here.

[01:25] And then same all the way at the top of

[01:27] this lamp and left click.

[01:30] >> Flashbang out.

[01:33] >> As you can see, when it pops, it'll land

[01:34] here. And basically, if you want a quick

[01:36] and easy way to see what your flashbangs

[01:38] are going to hit, you can basically just

[01:39] follow the trail, line yourself up where

[01:41] it pops, and anything you're looking at,

[01:42] it's going to hit at least a little bit.

[01:44] But as you can see, we're playing

[01:45] towards the default area here. Flash

[01:47] will come over. [music]

[01:48] you get full blind playing triple

[01:52] full blind even if we're playing all the

[01:54] way back on ticket

[01:57] you get blinded albeit not that much cuz

[01:59] it's farther away but still crazy good

[02:01] flash next we're going to throw one of

[02:03] the best mollies that I know for a site

[02:04] we're going to look just above the

[02:05] center of this piece here all the way up

[02:06] above this ledge and then just left

[02:08] click throw

[02:10] >> as you can see it's land on firebox

[02:12] [music] and it spreads absolutely

[02:13] everywhere it'll cover all of firebox

[02:15] covers default and it covers ninja and

[02:17] this is a molly I don't see nearly

[02:19] enough people use. And now if you're on

[02:20] the CT side and want a good Molly, the

[02:21] absolute best Malle to throw is for a

[02:23] main. We're run all the way back to

[02:25] boxes [music] and CT. Want to aim above

[02:26] triple at these little pillars here. As

[02:28] we're running to sight, we're just going

[02:29] to throw it off the pillar.

[02:32] As you can see, this lines here and

[02:34] it'll completely block off all the

[02:35] vision from ramp. We're sitting here as

[02:37] a T-side and we're trying to look for a

[02:38] cross. You can see absolutely nothing.

[02:40] And it basically does its job stopping

[02:41] the push and it kind of acts like a

[02:43] smoke for a short time. So, this one is

[02:44] much better than just winging it and

[02:46] throwing a molly in the general

[02:47] direction. Also, this is one more tip

[02:49] for my CT players on it. If you're ever

[02:50] finding yourself getting smoked off like

[02:52] this pretty often, there's a super easy

[02:53] way to get yourself some more control,

[02:54] and that's just to throw a smoke in the

[02:56] middle of the site.

[02:59] Now, it seems kind of boring, I know,

[03:00] but as you can see, when we're walking

[03:02] out to block all of your vision and

[03:04] allow you to fight back [music] site and

[03:05] allows you to clear angles kind of

[03:06] incrementally, so as this is all smoked

[03:08] off, you make sure nobody's holding you

[03:09] here and kind of work your way out onto

[03:11] sight. And this will make getting

[03:12] yourself back in the round a little bit

[03:13] easier. Now, moving over to mid. This is

[03:15] where I get the most questions of what

[03:16] smokes to throw. And I know after a few

[03:18] updates ago, everybody's window smoke

[03:20] started breaking. I'm going show you a

[03:21] nice easy tip that doesn't require you

[03:23] to do absolutely anything but jump

[03:24] throw. Your window smoke will land every

[03:25] single time. So, to do that out of

[03:27] spawn, [music] we're going to run back,

[03:28] tuck ourselves in the corner of these

[03:30] stairs, aim all the way up under this

[03:31] carpet here. We're going to look at

[03:32] these little pieces. We're going to aim

[03:34] not at the first one, but the second,

[03:35] just right in the middle, and then jump

[03:36] through.

[03:39] >> As you can see, all this is flying. Got

[03:40] to bounce off this ledge here and it'll

[03:42] land perfectly in window. [music]

[03:44] Now, yes, there are instant smoke

[03:46] lineups from all different spawn

[03:48] locations, but this one is really easy

[03:50] for beginners to follow, and I tend to

[03:51] teach this one first before going into

[03:53] any of the advanced ones. So, if you

[03:54] guys do want the specific [music] spawn

[03:55] location ones, make sure to leave a

[03:57] comment down below and I'll be sure to

[03:58] go over that in the next one. Now, our

[03:59] next smoke we're going to show be

[04:00] showing off is for connector. There's no

[04:02] connector. Instead of running into the

[04:03] stairs here, we're going to want to run

[04:04] into [music] your garbage can. We're

[04:05] going to aim at the same rug. Instead of

[04:07] these little patterns here, though,

[04:08] we're going to aim all the way at this

[04:10] corner [music] of the pattern, right

[04:11] about here, and then just jump through.

[04:14] >> This one will be the perfect connector

[04:15] smoke. It lands on the second step,

[04:16] which means that if you're inside of the

[04:18] smoke, playing [music] on the CT side,

[04:20] absolutely no gaps. You can't see

[04:21] through unless you're shooting.

[04:22] Likewise, if you're on the T- side, you

[04:24] can see that there's absolutely full

[04:25] coverage. So, if your team throws both

[04:26] of these smokes, you can even throw both

[04:28] of these smokes on your own. Mid control

[04:29] becomes way easier. Then additionally

[04:31] from the same exact location, if we want

[04:32] to throw a top midsm smoke, all we have

[04:34] to do tuck ourselves in the same exact

[04:35] corner. Aim at the top of this down here

[04:37] and then just left click throw. This one

[04:39] will drop perfectly covering all of

[04:41] window and even a connector. No gaps

[04:43] here. Now, if we want to pair an

[04:45] additional piece of util with that,

[04:46] there's a crazy flash that I've seen a

[04:47] lot of broke teams using. All you have

[04:49] to do is stuck yourself in this corner,

[04:51] aim at the top corner of this building,

[04:53] and just left click throw a flash. This

[04:55] pairs especially well with the midm

[04:56] smoke because if you're throwing this

[04:58] flash while it's up, it pops almost

[05:01] inside the the smoke itself. And so

[05:03] teams are taking mid control on you

[05:04] pretty easy and the smokes just aren't

[05:06] enough. Throwing this flash is

[05:08] absolutely crazy. As you can see, it

[05:10] hits absolutely everybody. This works

[05:11] especially well for if you're struggling

[05:13] to take mid cuz people are pushing all

[05:14] the way up. As you can see, by the time

[05:15] it lands, you're fully hit. But if you

[05:18] want more additional util from top mid

[05:20] here, if you've ever been stuck in this

[05:21] situation later into the round when both

[05:23] of your smokes are faded, there's a

[05:24] really quick and easy way to smoke

[05:25] window and also a molotop that'll show

[05:27] after do the exact same job. But to

[05:29] smoke it, we're going to tuck ourselves

[05:30] in this corner here. Crouch and aim at

[05:32] the corner here. Load it off to the

[05:34] corner so you don't throw it into the

[05:35] box obviously. And just left click

[05:37] throw.

[05:38] You want to make sure you crouch for

[05:40] this one though. If you're not crouched,

[05:40] it will not land. As you can see, lands

[05:42] perfectly in window. Now next to do the

[05:44] same thing with a molly. We're going to

[05:45] want to tuck ourselves in the left

[05:46] corner though. back up until this little

[05:47] ledge. And for this one, I like aiming

[05:49] at the second piece of the antenna here,

[05:51] not the top one, but the middle one

[05:52] here. And then throwing rough roughly

[05:54] when it meets this little triangle. So,

[05:56] we're going to hold, run, throw.

[06:00] As you can see, perfect molotov. So,

[06:03] this one works really well if you don't

[06:04] have a smoke or for those niche

[06:05] situations where you would rather have a

[06:07] molotov. There are some situations like

[06:09] if you have a teammate in ladder room,

[06:10] you're trying to force a guy out of this

[06:11] corner, things like that. Then from the

[06:12] CT side, the best smoke that I know for

[06:14] fighting off connector and the mid push

[06:15] is after their smoke is faded or if they

[06:17] don't even smoke it, you know they're

[06:18] going to be pushing mid. You just want

[06:19] to stand in the general area here. It

[06:20] does not have to be perfect at all. Then

[06:22] you just want to look at this corner

[06:24] here and just throw a smoke into it. It

[06:26] really is that easy. And as you can see,

[06:28] it kind of gives you almost a oneway.

[06:29] And if T-side hasn't seen you do this

[06:31] whole game, it's a really easy way to

[06:32] catch them off guard, especially if

[06:33] they're pushing cat. [music]

[06:34] You can even play lower down on the

[06:36] stairs here. Wait for them to peek, kind

[06:39] of try and tap some meds. Not really the

[06:41] best piece of view tool, I would say,

[06:42] but I do notice a lot of connector

[06:43] players just getting completely caught

[06:44] [music] off guard and trying to hold

[06:46] this angle, this angle, and cat. If

[06:48] you're looking for an easier way to do

[06:49] that, this smoke will help you. Moving

[06:50] over to B, we're going to start off with

[06:52] two smokes for the B site. That's going

[06:53] to be these two smokes here. One for

[06:54] market door and one for market window.

[06:56] These two smokes, similar to the A

[06:57] smokes, are going to be from the exact

[06:59] same location. It's going to be super

[07:00] easy to get to. All we're going to want

[07:01] to do, though, is run out of TV room.

[07:04] Tuck ourselves in this corner here.

[07:05] First one's going to be for market

[07:06] window. You basically just follow this

[07:07] line [music] all the way straight up.

[07:08] Then we're gonna want to aim at the

[07:09] first corner of this little piece of the

[07:12] building here and then jump throw. And

[07:15] then for window, we're going to aim down

[07:17] to the right until we meet this corner

[07:18] here and then jump throw.

[07:21] As you can see, when they both land,

[07:22] they drop two perfect market smokes.

[07:24] This one does spread pretty deep inside

[07:25] of market window itself, so it really

[07:27] stops people from trying to push

[07:28] through. Same with the door smoke. As

[07:30] you can see, this [music] is absolutely

[07:31] insane coverage that you get from this.

[07:32] There's two really easy to throw

[07:33] molotovs that I'm going to show. First

[07:35] one is going to cover [music] both top

[07:37] and underneath by van. We're going to

[07:38] line ourselves up in this corner here as

[07:40] we're running out. You're going to aim

[07:41] at this little line in the wall and then

[07:43] just [music] up to the top to this piece

[07:45] here and left click throw. It really is

[07:47] that easy. As you can see, this covers

[07:49] all of the bal even into this corner

[07:51] here where a lot of people hide and it

[07:52] covers people jump spotting down below.

[07:54] So, it forces them into this position

[07:56] here where they're very easily seen and

[07:58] traded from your teammates. Then next,

[07:59] this one is super easy and there's a lot

[08:01] of leeway for it, which is why it's one

[08:02] of my favorites. As we're running up

[08:04] now, we know this area is molotovd. Down

[08:06] below is molotov so we can hold as we're

[08:08] scaling up. All you have to do is line

[08:10] yourself on the right wall, run, and

[08:12] just throw Molly over there right

[08:14] through the window.

[08:17] This covers all the right side of jail

[08:18] unless they're pushed up here, but in

[08:20] this case, pretty easily visible. Kind

[08:22] of covers all the bench except for the

[08:23] right side here. Overall, this pushes

[08:24] them into an incredibly vulnerable

[08:25] position on either side of the molotov.

[08:27] It might not be the best way to clear

[08:28] all the back of the bench, but this is a

[08:30] really easy one to throw and will force

[08:32] people into being traded out very

[08:33] easily. And now for the best flash that

[08:35] I've ever seen for B. This is going to

[08:37] be incredibly easy to throw. You're just

[08:38] going to want to run up, tuck yourself

[08:39] in the right side of this door, aim

[08:40] below [music] this little brown area of

[08:42] the wall, and then jump throw.

[08:44] As you can see, flies right over top of

[08:46] the apps. It's incredibly easy to

[08:47] reproduce, and it blinds absolutely

[08:49] everything. So, if you see here where it

[08:51] pops [music]

[08:53] it hits everywhere, even the cat

[08:54] players. Now, it does pop behind the

[08:55] player who's typically on get right. As

[08:58] you can see, if I throw it, doesn't do

[09:00] all that much. But for [music]

[09:01] everywhere else, even if you're in these

[09:04] corners,

[09:06] [music] hits them. If you're playing

[09:07] bench,

[09:10] still get hit. Playing back sight, still

[09:12] hits you a little bit. So, now for the

[09:14] CT side of B, there's a few mollies you

[09:15] can throw the exact same way as what I

[09:17] showed you earlier, but in reverse.

[09:18] There's really two ways you can do it.

[09:19] You can either look a little bit further

[09:21] to the right and mlly off the doorway as

[09:24] you can see

[09:26] or or you can up and to the left [music]

[09:28] more throw it right through the window.

[09:30] This will cover off deeper and just halt

[09:33] the push there before they can jump out

[09:34] the window. Either one of these is

[09:35] pretty good. It's completely personal

[09:37] preference on what you and your team

[09:38] want to do. And trust me, there's plenty

[09:40] of other ways you can monotop through

[09:42] here. These are just relatively easy.

[09:43] Now, with all that out of the way, I do

[09:44] hope you guys enjoyed this video. And if

[09:46] you did, make sure to leave a like,
