If we talk about the strongest team, REJECT has been dominant in Japan. The team features the prominent players like Apollo, ReijiOcO, Duelo, Devine, and Sara. The team has not only dominated the Japan region but also performed outstandingly well in international events. The team has won PUBG Mobile Japan League six times, they are the runner-up of the PUBG Mobile World Cup 2024, and have the title of PUBG Mobile Global Open 2024. Also the team has already qualified for the PMGC 2025.

The second team from Japan, which is also pretty consistent with their performance, is CAG OSAKA. The team has won the PUBG Mobile Japan League two times. However, the team has not been able to impress in the global tournaments yet. 

South Korea

Nongshim RedForce (NS RedForce), DRX, Dplus, and Jecheon Phalanx will represent South Korea in the BGMI International Cup 2025. South Korea is one of the strongest regions in PUBG Mobile Esports.

Three of the four South Korean teams boast international exposure and have proven their consistency and dominance in previous global tournaments.

Dplus, featuring PUBG Mobile legends like OSAL, Nolbu, Chpz, and FOREST, is one of the favorites to lift the BMIC 2025 title. The team is the defending champions of the PMGC; they won the title in 2024. Also, they have other major trophies like India-Korea Invitational, PMPS 2022 Spring Finals, PMPS 2022 Fall Finals, PMPS 2024 Season 2, and PMPS 2025 Season 2.

The second team, DRX the has won the PMPS twice. Internationally, the team has finished in the top 4 in both editions of PUBG Mobile World Cup in 2024 and 2025. Also, the team finished 6th in PMGC 2024. 

Our third team from South Korea is NS Redforce, who finished 6th in this year's PUBG Mobile World Cup, and they have won the PMPS twice.

India

Orangutan, K9 Esports, True Rippers, Nebula Esports, Gods Reign, Mysterious 4, and Madkings Esports will represent India in BMIC 2025. India doesn't have much international experience, but the teams are ready to fight for the GC slots. 

Orangutan, featuring players like AKOP, Aaru, Attanki, and Wizzgod, is one of the most consistent teams in India this year. The team recently won the BMSD 2025 and secured the PMGC 2025 slot. 

K9 Esports finished second in the BMSD 2025 and will try to get the PMGC slot through BMIC. The captain of the team, Omega, has international experience of playing PUBG Mobile World Invitational in 2022. They won the BGMS 2025 and finished second in BMSD 2025. 

Our third team from India, which is consistent in their region, is Team Soul. Led by Nakul, the team features top assaulters like Goblin, Joker, and Legit. After Nakul took the leadership role, the team secured podiums in both BGMS 2025 and BMSD 2025.

Overall, South Korea is looking solid with three strong and consistent teams, including one PMGC champion. Japan has a dominant team like REJECT, while India lacks the international experience. However, India will have the home advantage, with all matches being played on BGMI. Apart from that, both South Korea and Japan appear stronger heading into the BGMI International Cup 2025.
