NS RedForce has become one of the most feared teams heading into the BGMI International Cup (BMIC) 2026. Several professional players, analysts, and fans already consider the South Korean team the favourite to win the championship in Mumbai.
But what makes NS RedForce so dangerous? Is it their star-studded roster, their aggressive gameplay, or their incredible results throughout 2026?
The answer lies in their performances. NS RedForce has won four tournaments in 2026 and finished as runners-up at the PUBG Mobile World Cup. Their consistency and individual firepower make them one of the strongest contenders for BMIC 2026. However, the team was not always this dominant.
How NS RedForce Became One of the Best PUBG Mobile Teams in 2026
NS RedForce was not considered a major international threat in 2025. The team struggled to make a significant impact at some of the biggest tournaments, including BMIC 2025.
Things changed in January 2026 when several South Korean PUBG Mobile organisations made major roster changes. NS RedForce took advantage of the transfer window and signed Hyunbin and Soez from DRX, the BMIC 2025 champions.

Hyunbin was one of the biggest additions. He had won the MVP award at BMIC 2025 after securing 44 finishes in 18 matches. Soez was another experienced player who had helped DRX win the championship in Delhi. NS RedForce combined these two players with its existing lineup of XZY, TIZI, and DokC.
NS RedForce Roster for BMIC 2026
| Player | Roster status |
|---|---|
| Hyunbin | Signed from DRX |
| Soez | Signed from DRX |
| XZY | Retained |
| TIZI | Retained |
| DokC | Retained |
The new roster looked strong on paper, but its tournament performances soon proved that it was much more than a collection of talented players.

Four Titles and a World Cup Runner-Up Finish
NS RedForce started its impressive run by winning PUBG Mobile Pro Series (PMPS) 2026 Season 1. The team then won the PUBG Mobile Macau Invitational 2026, an S-tier international event, followed by the Korean Esports League 2026.

That meant three tournament victories in a row. However, the biggest test came at the PUBG Mobile World Cup 2026, where NS RedForce faced some of the best teams in the world.
The South Korean squad finished second, missing the championship by just five points. It was also among the first teams to become Match Point Eligible under the Smash Rule. Although NS RedForce did not win the World Cup, its performance proved that the team could challenge the world’s strongest opponents.
After the World Cup, NS RedForce continued its winning run by claiming the PMPS 2026 Season 2 title.
NS RedForce’s Major Results in 2026
| Tournament | Result |
|---|---|
| PMPS 2026 Season 1 | Champions |
| PUBG Mobile Macau Invitational 2026 | Champions |
| Korean Esports League 2026 | Champions |
| PUBG Mobile World Cup 2026 | Runners-up |
| PMPS 2026 Season 2 | Champions |
With four titles and a World Cup runner-up finish, NS RedForce enters BMIC 2026 with one of the strongest records among the participating teams.
NS RedForce Defeated DRX by 55 Points in Just 12 Matches
One of the biggest examples of NS RedForce’s dominance came during the PMPS 2026 Season 2 Grand Finals. The tournament featured 12 matches, and NS RedForce collected an impressive 164 points, averaging approximately 13.7 points per match. DRX, the defending BMIC champions, finished second with 109 points. That gave NS RedForce a massive 55-point lead over its closest competitor.
A 55-point winning margin across just 12 matches shows how consistently NS RedForce performed throughout the tournament. The team was not depending on one good match or a single Chicken Dinner. It was collecting points regularly and building a lead that its opponents could not overcome.
This result is particularly interesting because DRX is the organisation that Hyunbin and Soez represented during their BMIC 2025 championship victory. Now, both players are helping NS RedForce dominate the South Korean circuit.
Three Different MVPs Show Why NS RedForce Is So Dangerous
One of NS RedForce’s biggest strengths is that the team does not depend on a single superstar.
Three different players have won MVP awards across its major tournament victories in 2026.
| Tournament | MVP |
|---|---|
| PMPS 2026 Season 1 | Hyunbin |
| Korean Esports League 2026 | XZY |
| PMPS 2026 Season 2 | Soez |
These individual awards highlight the depth of talent in the roster.
When a team depends heavily on one player, opponents can focus on stopping that particular player during fights.
However, NS RedForce has multiple players capable of delivering match-winning performances.
Hyunbin can take control of fights, XZY has already proved his individual ability, and Soez has also shown that he can lead the team through his performances.
This makes NS RedForce difficult to counter. Even if one player has a bad match, another can step up and contribute.
Aggressive Gameplay Combined With Consistency
NS RedForce is known for its strong fighting ability, but aggression alone does not explain its success. Scoring 164 points in 12 matches requires more than winning close-range fights.
Teams must also make good rotations, secure strong positions, survive difficult situations, and collect placement points. NS RedForce’s recent performances suggest that the roster has found a balance between aggressive gameplay and consistent point collection.
That combination is particularly important for BMIC 2026. Unlike tournaments using the Smash Rule, BMIC 2026 will be decided by the overall points table after 18 matches.
This means teams cannot depend on winning one decisive match to become champions. They must perform consistently throughout the Grand Finals. NS RedForce has already demonstrated that it can maintain a strong points average across multiple matches.
Hyunbin and Soez Have Already Won BMIC
Another advantage for NS RedForce is the experience of Hyunbin and Soez. Both players were part of the DRX roster that won BMIC 2025 in Delhi. They have already competed against Indian teams in this tournament and understand the pressure of playing at an international event.

Hyunbin also knows what it takes to perform individually on the BMIC stage, having won the MVP award last year. Now, the two former DRX players return to India with a stronger-looking NS RedForce roster and four tournament titles behind them. Their experience could be valuable when the team faces difficult situations during BMIC 2026.
Can Indian Teams Stop NS RedForce at BMIC 2026?
Despite its impressive record, NS RedForce is not unbeatable. The team came close to winning the PUBG Mobile World Cup 2026 but ultimately finished five points behind the champions.
That result shows that even one of the world’s strongest teams can be defeated.
At BMIC 2026, NS RedForce will face 15 opponents, including five other South Korean and Japanese teams from each country’s respective contingent and six representatives from India.
Among the major challengers are DRX, Dplus, iQOO Soul, Gladiators Esports, iQOO 8Bit, K9 Esports, Blitz Esports, and Team Outrage.
iQOO Soul enters the event after winning BMSD 2026, while Gladiators, 8Bit, K9, Blitz, and Outrage have also earned their places through the Indian competition.
Playing in front of the home crowd could provide additional motivation for the Indian teams.
However, defeating NS RedForce will require more than a few good matches. The South Korean squad has shown that it can recover from setbacks, win fights through different players, and maintain its position near the top of the standings. Indian teams will need to match that consistency across all 18 games.
Is NS RedForce the Favourite to Win BMIC 2026?
Based on its 2026 results, NS RedForce has a strong case for being the biggest favourite at BMIC 2026. Four tournament victories, a World Cup runner-up finish, three different MVP winners, and a 55-point victory over DRX are difficult achievements to ignore.
But past results do not guarantee another championship. NS RedForce will still need to prove itself against 15 other teams when BMIC 2026 takes place from October 30 to November 1 at the DOME, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Indoor Stadium, Mumbai.
NS RedForce deserves the respect it has earned, but no team should consider it unbeatable.
For the Indian teams, the challenge is simple: respect the opponent, prepare for its strengths, and deliver results on the server. NS RedForce is coming to Mumbai with one of the strongest records in PUBG Mobile esports this year.
The question is no longer why everyone is scared of NS RedForce. It is whether any team can stop them from winning another trophy.
