Mirage introduction

The action on Mirage takes place in a small Middle Eastern town, rumoured to be somewhere in Morocco.

Mirage was first developed by Michael ‘BubkeZ’ Hull specifically for the Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) all the way back in 2004 - it was originally called de_cpl_strike. In 2010, he released Mirage for CS 1.6 and the map was an instant hit.

After CS was released, Valve decided to remake the map and add it to the active duty map pool, changing the texture of the map and a few gameplay aspects as well.

Mirage, which was the most popular map at big events in 2017, has become a fan favourite in CS. There is a large variety of ways to play the map on both T and CT side, no two games will be exactly the same and the styles of both teams and how they play becomes incredibly apparent on this map.

The map is fairly balanced too (something that has happened steadily over time as the game has changed). At the Majors in 2014, teams were winning on average 57.2% of the rounds on CT, this has since dropped off to 49.9% in 2017.
