-'''Mirage''' is historically the most played map in Counter-Strike matchmaking.
 == Overview ==
-Set in a Moroccan market town, Mirage revolves around mid control. Teams that dominate mid gain access to both bombsites through window/connector and short.
+Mirage is one of the most balanced and widely played competitive maps in Counter-Strike 2. Set in a Moroccan-inspired urban environment, the map features a traditional three-lane layout with two bombsites connected by a central Mid area. Mirage rewards tactical team play, precise utility usage, and strong communication.
-== Key Areas ==
+Mirage has been one of the most consistently picked maps in professional Counter-Strike, appearing in nearly every major tournament since its official release. Its balanced gameplay makes it a reliable pick for teams on both sides. In CS2, the map retained its classic layout with enhanced visuals and improved clarity thanks to Source 2's lighting system.

+== Trivia ==
-Mirage is considered balanced with a slight CT lean. Utility usage (especially A site executes with smokes) is essential.
+* Mirage is often considered the spiritual successor to the original de_cpl_strike, though the layouts have diverged significantly over time.
