[1] Mirche Atsev was born in 1859 in the village of Oreovec in the Prilep district, then part of the Ottoman Empire.

During his stay in Sofia, he was accused of involvement in the murder of Stefan Stambolov, as a result of which he was imprisoned for three years in the Black Mosque, (now Sveti Sedmochislenitsi Church).

In Sofia, together with his brothers Petar and Georgi, he joined the revolutionary activity of the IMARO against the Turkish authorities.

In 1901, on the way to the village of Ulanci, in the Tikveš region, his band was chased and crushed by a Turkish military detachment.

The Macedonian partisan Mirče Acev was a nephew of Mirche Atsev, on his brothers' side.
