(Note that the names of the positions will be in English for your convenience to play the game)

Mirage:

Mirage Window. Take advantage of the iron bar on the catwalk to create a headshot angle. No need to adjust the center, just tap.

Mirage window

By standing on the platform will create a perfect angle, the awper on the T side won’t react in time (as long as you don’t miss the first bullet)

Mirage underpass

Standing on the roof next to the window will create a view of the Underpass that the T side from the bottom will not expect. Free kills! However, it takes a bit of practice to climb up here.

Mirage connector

Standing on the wooden crate in the connector creates 2 less-than-checked angles when T captures A site. Jumping on this crate allows you to ‘retake’ (take back the site) by killing them without knowing where!

Mirage B apps. This place can wallbang (shot through wall):

Suitable for retake or for apps on the T-side. Ak47 can shoot through this position. Try spraying AK next time you rush B.

Mirage B site

The angle is simple but very effective. Easy headshot and kills if defending on CT. The number of people that can be killed while guarding in this position is immeasurable!

Cache

Cache mid

Sitting down in this little corner in mid hides you quite well. It’s hard to see when the enemy comes out from boost or mid. Kind of like hiding in a place where no one is. Usually helps you get kills while on Boost comes out. Great to use in eco, but limit use with a gun! This position is for single use only, not twice.

Boost looking position

Cache mid

Standing on the whitebox is very risky but the rewards are also high, a position that many people do not think about. You can look up Boost and make that side AWPer open, or you can move on rails and get a life if someone pushes mid or ‘rotate’

When the opponent can flick the mouse, he will also die.

Cache Highway.

Using the position behind the protruding cabinet on the highway helps you have a view to keep the site. CT or T side (if bomb was planted):

can block push from highway

Or guard Squeaky’s door (you’ll see T before he sees you).

Cache CT area (CT area)

Standing on this place is very suitable for retake, or shoot when someone runs up the site.

Cache vents wallbang

Usually used for retake.

Don’t have wallbang in the upper position because ammo waste and very low damage.

But let’s wallbang this position – in between the control panel and the rolling door. It deals more damage and bullets will fly to the location where T jumped out or is in Vents.

Cache Squeaky

Hiding in this little corner is great for ‘chym’ (knife kill) in round eco.

Rotate the camera a bit so they can’t see you but you will still see if T is passing or not. If he checks it, it’ll be teo, it’s an eco round anyway

Cache B site

This position, T usually does not check immediately.

Overlooking B Main

Cache B site

Standing on the edge of the barrel will make it very difficult to get a headshot. Usually used on the T side when the bomb has been placed.

You can look up to Heaven.

Or look down at the CT when they look away.

Cache A main

Walk slowly past where A Main is smoked by CT and hold Ctrl to jump on this crate, this position will pretty much decide for that round. You can take your life in heaven or fork, then jump rta and kill the guard at the quad/site, he won’t expect your presence. Note that this method is very risky but the efficiency is very high and the feeling of satisfaction is indescribable when doing the above things.

The latter will continue Dust 2 and Cobblestone.
