Nongshim RedForce Outclass Lobby to Claim BMIC 2026 Title

The judgement day was here, and Nongshim Redforce rose above all as the BMIC 2026 winners. They took home ₹3,000,000 of the prize pool and the prestigious PMGC 2026 Gauntlet slot. The dust had long settled after day 2 of the event. From then, teams competed for the 2nd spot in the table.

Indian teams such as Outrage and GDR tried to compete for the second spot for the PMGC 2026 Group Stage slot. Gladiators came agonisingly close to sealing a Group Stage slot in the Global Championship. It was, however, DPlus Kia who received the PMGC 2026 Group Stage slot, thanks to Fabian's solo survival. Kiwoom DRX also earned GC qualification after finishing as the runners-up.

Nongshim RedForce Put On A Show To Claim the BMIC 2026 Crown

Day 3 was all about character and control for all 16 teams who have taken the competition to each other in the last two days. Nongshim Redforce dominated the lobby even on day 3 to become BMIC 2026 winners. The team of IGL TIZI, Hyunbin, XZY1, and Soezz secured 233 points with 148 finishes. KRX came second with 151 points while DPlus Kia ended third with 149 points.

Four South Korean teams took the top 4 spots of the competition. Among Indian teams, Gladiators and Outrage finished in the top 5.

While Nongshim Redforce were the favourites to win it this year heading into Day 3, Rondo, being the first map of the day, opened up opportunities for the rest of the teams in the top 10 to close the gap. However, it was Nongshim Redforce that dominated the Rondo. From proper splits to team fights, the South Korean team did everything right despite the zone not favouring them.

The South Korean team took the chicken dinner in match 2 after eliminating Dplus KIA in the last fight. The team stayed consistent in all the games. NSR dominated the lobby once again with 17 kills before ending BMIC 2026 with a win.

The competition ended with all South Korean teams taking the top 3 spots in the table. NSR's one-sided domination made them the rightful Battlegrounds Mobile India International Cup 2026 winners.

List of All Awards From BMIC 2026

From the masterful minds of the IGLs to the fierce gunpower of the assaults, Krafton India Esports honoured the individual performances with accolades. The BMIC 2026 winners almost swept all the awards.

What's Next for PMGC 2026 for Indian Teams?

Nongshim Redforce became the BMIC 2026 champions. They won the largest share of the ₹10,000,000 INR prize pool, which was ₹3,000,000. The South Korean team also won the prestigious BMIC 2026 trophy and the PMGC 2026 Gauntlet slot. Because of that, KRX gets the PMGC 2026 slot that NSR won through the regional competition.

As things stand, Team Soul is the only Indian team that will be featured in the PMGC 2026. They won the gauntlet slot through their epic comeback on the last day of BMSD 2026, which allowed them to become the champion. Despite coming so close, GDR failed to earn the PMGC 2026 Group Stage slot through BMIC 2026.
