AR Player of the Year Pyramid | 2.27.25

The second Minor tournament of the year starts tomorrow evening, giving teams a chance to rebuild confidence and form going into the final weeks of the Major 2 Qualifiers. 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.
