Who can still take the PMGC 2026 runner-up slot?
The BMIC 2026 champion goes to the PMGC 2026 Gauntlet and the runner-up to the PMGC 2026 Group Stage. DRX and Dplus KIA are now separated by just three points, and the gap behind them has grown.
The best single-match score at BMIC 2026 so far is 28 points. Over two matches, that makes 56 points a realistic ceiling. Any team more than 56 behind DRX cannot finish second. That rules out K9 Esports, Team 8Bit, Team SouL and every team below them.
If DRX hold their average of 8.9 points per match, they finish on about 161. Here is what the chasing teams need per match to pass that total:
| Team | Points | Behind 2nd | Needed per match |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dplus KIA | 140 | 3 | 10.4 |
| Gladiators Esports | 125 | 18 | 17.9 |
| Team Outrage | 115 | 28 | 22.9 |
| Daejeon GamePT | 105 | 38 | 27.9 |
| KINOTROPE | 93 | 50 | 33.9 |
The realistic contest is now DRX against Dplus KIA. Gladiators can still do it. They scored 23 in Match 15, but they would need close to a Chicken Dinner in both Miramar games and need DRX and Dplus to slip. Team Outrage scored just 2 points across Matches 15 and 16 and would need a 23-point average.
Can anyone still catch NS RedForce?
Only in theory. NS RedForce have scored just 15 points across Matches 15 and 16, but they still lead DRX by 46 with two matches left. If NS RedForce scored nothing at all, DRX would need 47 points from two games, more than 23 per match. DRX scored 24 in Match 16, so it is not impossible.
At their tournament average of 11.8 points per match, NS RedForce finish on about 213. DRX would then need nearly 35 points per match, well above the event-best score of 28. One normal match from NS RedForce on Miramar should confirm them as BMIC 2026 champions.
What is next at BMIC 2026?
The final two matches are both on Miramar. Match 17 starts at 4:40 PM IST and Match 18 at 5:20 PM IST. BMIC 2026 has no Smash Rule, so the team with the highest total after Match 18 is crowned champion and the runner-up takes the second PMGC 2026 slot.
