How do I fix my mirage?

Mortitto · 7 Sep 2026 at 15:59 · permalink

Faceit lvl-5 (pretty close to 6)
I don't know why but i'm always struggling on mirage, i know part of the problem is me playing too passive/anchor positions when i enjoy playing pro-active areas more, for example- donut on ancient, connector on Anubis, banana on inferno and etc (mostly cuz no one wants to play B on mirage so i end up having to be the B anchor :/ ). Just look at my match history https://www.faceit.com/en/players/FunnyStep\_BK and you'll clearly see the difference between my mirage and other maps. I used to have the same thing on ancient but since i started playing donut instead of B i've improved a ton.

That aside, the other thing i feel like is just having wrong reads/info and teammates not saying anything dosen't help either.

Apart from these two things i don't really know what else is wrong about my gameplay on mirage or what to improve, So any help/advice would be appreciated! :\]

Learn to play short if you have to play B, that way you have a fast rotation to A but can still hold down B. Short and con are the best CT positions to play IMHO.

On T side it's just mid control on 1st timing if mid spawn, ramp on 1st timing if ramp spawn. If bad spawn you can play mid or ramp on later timing or lurk palace or B aps, depending on what your team wants to do.

well as an anchor i like playing B, its very simple, predictable and honestly easy to defend if you have money at the start of the round

if you like playing b play short/cat

I can't download FaceIT demos because they don't make them public. Can you download the most recent two mirage demos and host them on Google? I can then take a look.

austincs has some good videos on how to have impact as an anchor. The main thing i've picked up on is to pay attention to if we have man advantage and mid control. That and comms (if there are any lol) is what dictates whether I start pushing apps, helping mid, play for info, or rotate to A.
