The smokes that will be shown in this article will be smokes you might not have known existed on Mirage. These smokes will enable the ability for you to enhance the T-Side of Mirage and make it, so you will be able to get as many rounds as possible on the weaker side of the map.
Connector Smoke From B
This smoke can be important if you want to make it, so the T side players in Mid can get up short without the players seeing them through connector. This smoke will need to be combined with the window smoke to make it, so the T side can go from Mid to B and do a B split. This smoke involves standing in the corner shown in image 1, aiming six slots up on the wall and throwing. The perfect thing about this smoke is that there isn't a gap anywhere in the smoke in connector. This means that the T side can feel safe going up short as the smoke will not have any gaps the CT's can take advantage of.
Window smoke from B
This smoke is something that can be combined with the smoke shown for connector. This can make it, so that two players can throw the Mid to B smokes from B and this can then make it, so three go mid, 2 go B. This would enable a perfect split in taking the site and would cause issues for the 2 players most likely holding the site. This smoke is has some difficulties adapting to as the corner you need to line up with involves the player looking directly at the floor and then moving until you find the corner required to aim the smoke. This means it will take some practice. However, the smoke can make great strats and good fakes if learned.
Window smoke from Top Mid
This smoke is something that can easily be thrown if a window smoke is required at any point in the game. This smoke is very easy and is something all players on Mirage should know. If the player manages to get behind the boxes, they can do this line up in the corner of the boxes and throw it normally. This smoke has no gaps in it at all , so the CT's can't take advantage of it at all. This smoke can be combined with the connector smoke mentioned earlier, so this would mean 4 could go mid, with 1 going through B apartments.
Deep Jungle Smoke From Top Mid
This smoke is something that isn't common at all in many levels of CSGO. However, this smoke can enable an A-Split as this smoke will smoke jungle, so the T side can go up through connector and won't have to check Jungle as it will be smoked off. This smoke does involve having some protection from Teammates as you will have to line it up, while open to CT's peaking from connector. However, this smoke can be crucial in helping create a perfect A-Split that can confuse the CT's defending. The smoke involves lining up in the corner in Top mid and aiming at the middle of the sun. If thrown correctly, this smoke will smoke the deep jungle required to go through connector. This smoke will need to be combined with the short smoke to make sure you can walk up connector without worrying about dying from Short.
Eco Smoke For A-Site
This smoke is unique in the way that the whole aim of this smoke is to try and enable the T-Side to get a bomb down when on an eco. This smoke will smoke off an area of the bombsite, which stops CT's seeing you plant the bomb. The bomb spots you can plant would also enable the ability for T players to see the bomb from T Ramp. This smoke does involve learning a spot on the wall to look up from. However, the image will show that the spot is easy to spot as the certain area mentioned sticks out. The user will be required to then aim up to the piece of wood sticking out and when this smoke is thrown, an area of the site will be smoked off. This will enable a possible plant on an eco.
