CS2 Mirage Smoke Lineup #12

A community-submitted CS2 Mirage Smoke lineup on Mirage. The grenade is in the air for 8 seconds. Every step below is captured as a still frame from in-game — the standing spot, the crosshair alignment, a zoomed crop of that alignment, and the result — so you can match your own screen against each one instead of guessing from a video.

How to throw it

  1. Find the exact standing spot on Mirage shown in the throw-position frame. The wide shot above it shows the surrounding area so you can orient yourself first.
  2. Match your crosshair to the alignment frame. The zoomed crop of the same frame is there for the fine adjustment — line up on the landmark it highlights, not on the middle of your screen.
  3. Throw at full power with left click — do not tap right click, a standard throw and a lob travel very different distances.
  4. It lands on the marked target after 8 seconds in the air. Compare the result frame against your own throw — if the smoke is off, the alignment step is almost always the one that drifted.

What this grenade does

A CS2 smoke is volumetric: the cloud fills the volume it lands in, leaks through gaps and doorways, and holds for roughly 18 seconds, so where it settles matters far more than where it was thrown from.

This is a T-side lineup: it is thrown to open up Mirage for an execute, so it is worth having a teammate ready to move the moment the Smoke is on this target.

How hard is it

Medium — the alignment is tight enough that you should check the reference frame before you rely on it in a match.

Does it still work?

Map geometry and grenade physics change between CS2 updates, and a lineup that worked last season can land a metre short after a patch. No member has voted on this lineup yet. If you land it, mark it verified so the next player knows it survived the latest update.
