Following the tips, smokes and other nades inside this guide you can find yourself taking B site on Mirage together.
For this, you'll need three smokes, and a flashbang or two depending on preference. It is recommended that when taking this site that you play as a full 5 man premade, and that you work together and communicate these smokes to each other clearly. If possible, it is also suggested that you hop on a server and practice these smokes and the whole execute before taking it into a PUG/MM/Scrim, so you don't have to have a few failed attempts before you get it working, and by then the enemy has already picked up what you're trying to do. So remember, practice makes perfect, so to guarantee that win, practice! Results may also differ from throwing the smokes between 64 tick and 128 tick, this was tested on 64 tick.
Smoking B Site
This smoke is simply done by placing your crosshair where you can see. To get there, simply line up and center to the right side of the window you can see on the right, and move your crosshair directly upwards until you hit the first electricity cable. Once you have done that, just throw the grenade. No jumping or running. This will end up smoking the site like shown below, and this will help you move out and not get shot from anyone hiding on site or within the store behind, or any other funny angle possible. Be careful however, as some people can be aggressive, and will push through the smoke just to try and pick you.
Whilst they may only get 1 pick before being trade killed, it's highly suggested that you still check this spot and people pressed up against the wall to the left of the image shown below, as these players will be able to play this sneaky beaky spot, and possibly pick off your entry fragger with enough time to retreat back and away from any further engagement. Don't forget also that this only smokes the part of the site that's visible from people in the store (ever so slightly) and on the site, this doesn't mean they wont retreat from the site, so when pushing onto it, don't be too confident, make sure you've got your guard up and your crosshair placed for any sudden player movements.
Smoking Short
Funnily enough, this smoke can be done by putting your crosshair in exactly same place as required to smoke the site! All you have to do differently for this throw is actually to jump when doing so, recommended to use a jumpthrow bind or script when doing so too. The reason you want to smoke off short is because the place where this smoke lands is a common spot for people to be wedged into for when you start pushing out of apartments or the window on the side. In the image shown below you can see what is meant.
As you can see, this smoke will NOT protect you from people pushed up against the lamp post to the left of the image shown below, so when you push out it is heavily suggested that you check this corner, as this is a common spot to play to try and pick people jumping out of the window in apartments, and you may be a victim to this. This can be prevented by flashing out the window with a pop flash from a right click throw, or by nading the side of the window in the apartments twice to try and damage him as much as possible, forcing the player to retreat, leaving you the chance to jump out of the window, and pick the retreating enemy.
Smoking Bench
This smoke is another easy smoke, requiring nothing but a left click throw! On the image there are two shown impact markers. You should put your crosshair in the same position as shown, aligned correctly. This can be done by looking at the far left wooden piece in the center of the image, and moving your crosshair directly upwards until it reaches a little ridge on the left, which is the roof of the building, also shown on the impact marker in the image. This smoke will smoke off the bench, and this is an extremely vital smoke next to the previous smoke of choking off the frontal vision of the site. The reason this smoke works together nicely with the site one, is because once the bench player is smoked off with this one, it's likely he will fall back onto the site or next to the opening by the bench to try and get picks..
This smoke will allow your entry fragger and other players to push out onto the site from apartments without getting mowed down one by one by an extremely well covered player hiding at the bench. If the player at bench does however attempt to spray you or any others down, it is possible you could throw a molotov down at the bench to weed out the player and force him back to either the site or inside/near the store. You can see how much this chokes off this player in the image shown below.
Final Warning
Be on the lookout for this player, who can be boosted up to this spot to hide from your team when you guys push out, and can wait quietly until you move onto the site and pick you off one by one in this sneaky spot. Nothing serious can be done if you just have a team member check this spot when moving onto the site. The reason I brought this up is because this player can't be noticed when he's being boosted up or whether he is, as he's in a secretive spot, and if he gets boosted up after the smokes are down, you won't even be able to tell unless you move onto the site unbelievably fast!
