BMIC 2026 Teams to Watch Out For

There is no doubt that all 16 BMIC 2026 teams possess an immense amount of talent. However, two specific squads will enter the Battlegounds Mobile International Cup 2026 with high expectations given the momentum they carry:

D Plus Kia (South Korea)

There will be no one in the arena who will bet against the 2024 PMGC winners from South Korea. DRX is known for their acute coordination and their raw gun game with top-tier assault like Nolbu and Chipzz. The South Korean team will be watched closely as they look to secure their first BMIC trophy.

Team Soul (India)

After securing PMGC slots, Team Soul is among the crowd favourites to lift the Battlegrounds Mobile International Cup 2026. The team of Nakul, Legit, Joker and Goblin have the synergy and momentum, along with the support of a massive home crowd in Mumbai. The team takes a balanced approach in rotations and has reasonable firepower to shock the global teams.
