AR Player of the Year Pyramid | 3.19.25

The second Major tournament of the year starts tomorrow evening, as the teams are set to duel in Texas. While the Power Rankings didn't have much movement, the player pyramids have shifted since the Minor tournament this stage. Going into the tournament, it's time to update the AR Pyramid based on this season's performances.

We'll be updating player pyramids every couple of weeks this season, showcasing a position power ranking in the CDL. These pyramids show how players are stacking up against each other in the race to become AR Player of the Year in Black Ops 6 at the end of the season.

Below is the fifth AR Player Pyramid of the season!
