We have reached the first Minor Tournament of the Black Ops 6 season, giving fans the first look at teams in 205. New year, new individual award breakdown.

This season, we'll be doing play pyramids every couple of weeks, showcasing a position power ranking in the CDL. These pyramids give a glimpse at how players are stacking up against each other in the race to become AR Player of the Year in Black Ops 6.

The new Minor mid-season tournament has all 12 teams in a single elimination bracket, with reduced CDL points and a $20,000 prize pool. This week will give a crucial boost in CDL points, which will be felt later in the season. Players will be battling to win the inaugural tournament and prepare for Major 1 at the end of the month. Below is the first AR Player Pyramid of the season!
