New Meta Prediction:

ATF may take the spot too.e especially when she will become farmable

All I know is that cls has put chaze back on the map

I don't think we can make these lists until we see the rest of the OG rebels reworked kits. I think any of Old Ben (presuming Rebel Tag and Taunt come with his rework), Sabine (aoe debuffs), Wedge (Defense Down on basic) will be good with CLS as well.

The funny (sad?) thing is that if you replace "CLS" with "Rex" in the OP, you have many current meta teams. Maybe swap out Chaze with Thrawn and/or DN.

TL;DR The meta ain't changing - you're just adding CLS to a current meta team.

The only way it changes is if it no longer centers around hide the Nihilius. This may happen as ignoring taunts is huge.

im not sure about Chaze or GK so much. in other threads you can see poxx explaining about chaze.
about GK - the cleanse barely needed now, the crit immunity barely needed, the counter attack barely needed... and as a tank, there are more options that can gain from being "Rebel". dont get me wrong, he might still be great, and eventually he maybe will be the best tank under CLS, but he's just not as useful as he was on other teams.
also, this team dont have that much damage output, lets say the truth. vs team of GK (L) with Zarris and Zives, i dont see this "meta" team win. i think that team without thrawn/DN will have hard time beating defensive teams, and therefore, i see meta teams using one of those.
also, STHan and Obi wan might be better option than baze or GK, because while GK and baze have "passive" taunt, that activated outside of turn, and STHan can be dispelled, you gotta consider R2D2 hide all but the taunter. TM manipulation of Han, with upcoming buff, can be amazing on that team, and obi wan have High defense, and luke obviously give 50% defense. add this to evasion of obi, and you have annoying team aswell.
the biggest problem, as i said, is damage output. therefore, Ezra (or zATF) is almost a must, or raid han/leia, considering their upcoming buff. i think that putting ezra in that team, along with r2d2 bonuses, will make him more dangerous than chirrut, and his calling to assist isnt to a baze - and ezra calling luke to assist can change the match completely.

So i think, the meta will introduce at least 1 toon that wasnt until now (besides CLS) - someone from the reworks, my bet is on STHan. r2 will continue to be crucial on high meta teams, and DN/Thrawn feels like a must. for a second attacker, i think ezra will shine almost like he does on zQGJ teams

Good thoughts. The rework of Luke can make him viable in such a team since CD stacks until the end, so at every counter, it's an additional CD. The tank will be either Old Ben or STHan and Han Solo can give again more cirtical chance to the team.

CLS(L), STHan, R2, Farmboy Luke, Han Solo/Ezra can be viable.

I'm looking at
CLS, Nihilus, Rebel Tank, Ezra, R2
Nihilus is critical for Luke's ability Use the Force.by draining health on every character, use the force will drop its cool down by 1. Ezra has the Watch and learn. And if he selects Luke , he will follow Luke's basic with 20% more damage. And grant 100% crit. +10% TM. (Luke hit for 18k in gif)
The kicker will be Bodi, he grants turns, offense up, TM x2, Potency, removes TM, and +50% defense.

I'd go: Commander Luke (l), Chaze, R2, and GK/FAT/DN.
