We have reached the first Major Tournament of the Black Ops 6 season. Teams have arrived in Madrid to compete in the first European LAN since the London Homestand at the beginning of the Call of Duty League. With the tournament coming up, it's time to update the AR Pyramid for the year.

This season, we'll be doing play pyramids every couple of weeks, 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.

Below is the second AR Player Pyramid of the season!
