Details

A mirror bunker refers to the bunker on the other side of the field that matches your position. If you are in a certain corner, temple, or dorito on your side, the mirror bunker is the identical bunker opposite you.

Players frequently battle their mirror during the early stages of a point. Winning this fight either by eliminating the opponent or forcing them to stay tucked creates massive advantages in movement, lane control, and field pressure.

Understanding your mirror helps you: Predict what angles the opponent has on you Time your snapshots and peeks Know when it's safe to advance Identify crossfield threats from other players

Mirror control is essential for tempo, survival, and gaining space.
