We've arrived at the first Major Tournament of the Black Ops 6 season, with teams touching down in Madrid to compete in the first European LAN since the London Homestand at the start of the Call of Duty League. As the tournament approaches, it's the perfect time to update the SMG Pyramid for the year.
This season, we'll be rolling out play pyramids every few weeks, providing a positional power ranking within the CDL. These pyramids will track how players are measuring up against one another in the race to claim the title of SMG Player of the Year in Black Ops 6.
Below is the second edition of the SMG Player Pyramid of Black Ops 6!
