Teams to Watch Out For BGMI International Cup 2025
REJECT (Japan)
REJECT is among the biggest names in Asian PUBG Mobile esports. The Japanese powerhouse has already qualified for the PMGC 2025 after winning the PUBG Mobile Japan League Season 5 Phase 2. With players like Duelo, Reiji, Devine, Apollo, and Sara, this team has both experience and chemistry.
REJECT holds multiple prestigious titles, including the PMGO 2024 Championship and a runner-up finish in the PUBG Mobile World Cup 2024. The team has also dominated domestically, winning the PUBG Mobile Japan League six times, proving why they are the most consistent team from Japan.
Dplus (South Korea)
Another top contender for the BMIC 2025 crown is Dplus, a name that commands respect in global PUBG Mobile circles. The team has a rich legacy with players like OSAL, Nolbu, chpz, and FOREST, who have delivered stunning performances on the world stage.
Dplus were the runners-up at PMGC 2024 and champions of the India-Korea Invitational. Their trophy cabinet also includes titles like PMPS 2022 Spring Finals, PMPS 2022 Fall, PMPS 2024 Season 2, and PMPS 2025 Season 2. With such experience, they will surely be a big threat to the Indian teams.
NS RedForce and DRX (South Korea)
Two more South Korean teams expected to make a strong impact are NS RedForce and DRX.

DRX, on the other hand, has been a model of reliability, securing top-four finishes in both the 2024 and 2025 World Cups. Their recent wins include PMPS 2024 Season 3 and PMPS 2025 Season 1, which highlights how well-prepared they are heading into BMIC 2025.
