#13 SupeR: Top 20 Players of Black Ops 6

The #13 Player of the Black Ops 6 season is the SND Superstar, Diego “SupeR” Escudero of the Miami Heretics.

Coming into the League with instant impact, SupeR helped make the Heretics a continuous Top 4 team in the Call of Duty League. The Spanish rising star would've won the Rookie of the Year in many other years, finishing with a 1.10 overall K/D with a 1.24 SND K/D. As if anyone would need proof of his impact on the team, Miami never finished lower than Top 4 in the four tournaments played with SupeR.

Season Review

SupeR was destined to be in the League this season, signing with the Miami Heretics as a substitute before the season began. While he had been a Top European Challengers player for years, he had yet to finally make it to the League. He’d get his chance during Stage II, filling in for Miami in a match versus Minnesota Rokkr. While the respawns weren’t perfect, SupeR shone in SND and showed his high potential with the power duo of José “ReeaL” Castilla and David “RenKoR” Isern.

The rest Stage II qualifiers brought a harsh reality check for Miami, as the team struggled to sustain the momentum they had built early in the season. They stumbled to a 2-5 record in the online stage and were knocked out of Minor II by the LA Guerrillas M8s. The Major offered no relief. Drawn into an extremely tough matchup in Elimination Round 1, the Heretics once again fell to the LA Thieves, finishing a disappointing Top 12. In the wake of the event, the organization decided to shake things up, benching veteran leader Alejandro “Lucky” López in favor of the rookie SupeR in hopes of breathing new life into the lineup.

The move proved to be an immediate catalyst. Stage III saw the Heretics transformed into a legitimate dark horse contender, backed by a revamped S&D and sharper coordination in respawns. They surged through qualifiers with a 4-1 record, locking in the 4th seed for Major III in Boca Raton. SupeR led the team with a 1.19 Overall K/D, but did it in both respawn & SND. The rookie led the team in both respawn K/D (1.14) and SND (1.63).

At the Major, Miami faced Toronto Ultra in Winners Round 1, a perfect early test for their new-look roster. They passed with flying colors, securing a 3-1 victory before clashing with the LA Thieves in Round 2. A loss dropped them to the Lower Bracket, but they roared back with a shocking 3-2 upset over Atlanta FaZe. Their run came to a close in another nail-biter against Toronto, falling 3-2 as the Ultra got their revenge. A Top 4 finish and two statement wins over elite teams sent a clear message: Miami could go toe-to-toe with anyone.

They tore through qualifiers with a perfect 5-0 record and entered the Major as the top seed. Having already beaten the Thieves 3-2 online earlier in the stage, they carried momentum straight into Dreamhack. SupeR again lit it up in SND, going for a 1.77 K/D during the qualifiers with 0.93 kills per round and 5 clutches.

The event started in dominant fashion with a 3-0 sweep over Minnesota in Round 1, followed by another tight 3-2 win over the Thieves to book a spot deep into the bracket. However, their hot streak ended abruptly with consecutive losses to FaZe and the Thieves, finishing the stage in 3rd place. Still, a 9-6 Hardpoint record and 9-3 S&D mark solidified their status as legitimate title contenders heading into Champs.

At Champs, Miami opened with a tricky Round 1 matchup against the Vancouver Surge, dispatching them 3-1. But a shocking Map 5 loss to the Boston Breach sent them into the Lower Bracket earlier than expected. They capitalized by sweeping a struggling FaZe roster before falling to the Surge in a rematch. Another 4th place finish left fans wondering “what if” they had taken care of Boston earlier in the tournament. The rookie finished with a 1.16 K/D for the event, but really showcased his potential in respawns. Diego had a 1.24 K/D in Control to go with 1.11 in Hardpoint.

With a breakout season already under their belt, the Heretics arrived at the Esports World Cup with genuine title hopes. Representing Team Heretics, they dominated pool play, sweeping Project 7 3-0 and taking down FaZe Clan 3-1. Bracket play started strong with revenge against Boston, but disaster struck in the Semifinals. After storming to a 2-0 series lead over OpTic, they dropped three straight maps and were eliminated. A loss to Movistar KOI in the 3rd place match sealed yet another 4th place finish, ending their season on a bittersweet note.

Despite the heartbreak, the 2025 Black Ops 6 campaign was a resounding success for Miami Heretics. Five Top 4 finishes exceeded preseason expectations and proved the roster’s potential. If they can clean up late-tournament execution and maintain consistency in respawn, they could be a serious threat in Black Ops 7, provided they keep their core intact.

How Good Was SupeR in 2025?

Hardpoint

While the mode that Super was best at was Search & Destroy, he was a great respawn player this year. Diego finished the season with a 1.08 K/D in Hardpoint, which stayed at a 1.06 K/D on LAN. He added per-10-minute data of 23.5 kills, 2991 damage, and 60.7 seconds of hill time. In 67.9% of matches, SupeR finished with a positive K/D (7th highest in the League), and the team had a 15-4 record when he did so. With a full season under his belt, SupeR could easily develop into a top Hardpoint player.

When evaluating the Heretics’ season, it’s impossible not to split it into two halves: before and after the signing of SupeR. Across the year, Miami went 49-37 (57.0%) in Hardpoint, ranking 6th with an average margin of +5.3. They were particularly strong on LAN, finishing 24-15 (61.5%). From Stage III onward, they improved to 28-20 (58.3%) overall and 18-11 (62.1%) on LAN. In that same stretch, they ranked 3rd in rotation win percentage (52.4%) and 3rd in hold percentage (77.3%). With a full year to deepen their map pool, they have the foundation to become one of the CDL’s premier Hardpoint teams.

Search & Destroy

Easily one of the best SND players this season, SupeR finished the year with a League-high 1.24 K/D in the mode. He added 0.78 kills per round, 115.3 ADR, an opening duel win rate of 54.9%, and a total of 13 clutches over the 2/3s of the season he played. Looking at the record book, SupeR hit 16 kills twice, tying for 2nd on the most kills in a single map this season. One of the sole questions that fans have about Diego is that his K/D went down to 1.00 and his Kills per round to 0.68 on LAN. The big decrease was shocking when looking at the 1.70 K/D in online matches with 0.95 kills per round. Wrapping it up, SupeR was second in the SND Cellium Index, going positive in 68.3% of his maps.

Search & Destroy was perhaps the most dramatic transformation. In Stages I and II, Miami went just 11-20 (10th in the CDL) while ranking last in defensive win rate, 11th in opening duels (46.3%), 11th in conversion percentage (68.7%), and 11th in retakes (34.4%). Post-SupeR, those numbers flipped entirely. They went 25-12 in the back half of the year, including a flawless 13-0 online record. They ranked 3rd in opening duels (52.0%), 2nd in retakes (50.6%), and 3rd in defense (59.5%). While their 12-12 LAN record hinted at growing pains, it’s worth noting they faced top-tier opposition in nearly every event. Their dominance on specific maps, 11-1 on Dealership, 4-1 on Rewind, showed their ability to build a strong map pool quickly.

Control

In the swing game mode, SupeR finished the year with a 1.07 K/D for the Heretics. His per-10-minute stats included 20.0 kills and 2579 damage, to go with a team-high 1.9 ticks per attack. The LAN performance was better than online, improving to a 1.09 K/D on LAN with improved per-10-minute statistics. Interestingly, the rookie had a better attacking K/D (1.07) compared to defending K/D (1.05), which suggests that the is plenty of improvement to be had next season.

Control also saw improvement, though less drastic. In the first half of the season, Miami ranked 10th in the CDL with a 7-15 record, going just 1-5 on LAN and 1-6 in Round 5 situations. Both offense and defense struggled, and a change was clearly needed. In the second half, they posted a more competitive 13-14 record (7th in the CDL) with an 8-9 LAN record. While map pool limitations continued to hold them back, the progress was undeniable.

A look ahead to Black Ops 7

SupeR enters Black Ops 7 as one of the most promising young talents in the CDL, but his future is tied to an uncertain Miami Heretics roster. Currently, only he and RenKoR remain under contract, with teammates MettalZ and ReeaL both hitting free agency. Rumors of other teams inquiring about a potential buyout for RenKoR add another layer of instability, as losing his lone signed teammate would leave SupeR’s situation in flux. Still, his breakout rookie season has made him a highly sought-after asset in his own right, and if Miami can’t stabilize the roster around him, there’s no doubt multiple teams would line up to make a move for the rising Spanish star.
