The Story of Mirage: The Perfect Map That Nobody Wants to Play Anymore

Dust II, without question, is the most iconic Counter-Strike map of all time. Possibly the most iconic map in the history of gaming, period. But in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive specifically, there is not a single map more important to the fabric of its competitive legacy than Mirage. It’s the place where pros and plebs hone their skills. A deathmatch dojo for all those looking to make a name for themselves. It's the hallowed grounds where the game's greatest moments have taken place. It’s the most played map in CSGO… and it's becoming a nightmare because of it. This, is the story of Mirage.
