Some days in esports aren’t just competitions; they are turning points. BMIC 2025 Day 3 was one of those moments when competition evolved into legacy. It was the day DRX lifted the crown, True Rippers roared for India, and S8UL became the emotional heartbeat of the arena.
The Matches That Changed Everything
The day began with precision and intent. MTR claimed the first chicken dinner with disciplined gameplay. DK followed with a controlled second-round win, while CAG secured the third with confident gunfights and well-timed rotations.
Then came Match 4, the one that would define the day. Team TR entered like a storm. Under Jelly’s sharp leadership, TR executed near-perfect rotations and aggression that stunned the crowd. When the dust settled, TR had secured India’s first chicken dinner of the day with 17 kills. The chants of “TR! TR! TR!” shook the arena. It was not just a win; it was a roar for the nation.
By the final match, DRX had already begun crafting their quiet masterpiece. Calm, composed, and ruthlessly consistent, they secured their third chicken dinner to end BMIC 2025 as champions with 166 points, followed by True Rippers at 137 and CAG from Japan at 136. Nebula finished fourth with 127 points, while S8UL, though placing ninth, remained the crowd favorite.
As the dust settled, the tournament’s individual honors were also announced. Qx from DRX was named Best IGL, recognizing his calm leadership and tactical precision. Hyunbin, also from DRX, was crowned Tournament MVP for his exceptional consistency and clutch performances across maps. The Best Clutch Award went to Hero from M4 Esports, whose composure under pressure stood out in the final moments of play.
Inside the Calm of Champions
When we interacted with DRX after their victory, the vibe felt like the calm after a storm. There was no shouting or over-the-top celebration, only quiet smiles and satisfaction.
“It wasn’t easy,” said Qx, DRX’s in-game leader and the tournament’s Best IGL. “The Indian teams gave us real fights. When we won, it felt like relief, not celebration. That’s what champions feel when the work finally pays off.”
Asked about Hyunbin’s MVP run, Qx spoke with pride. “He’s young and still learning, but his preparation was on another level. He worked every day to control pressure, and that showed.”
On his own leadership style, Qx said, “I’m the oldest on the roster. Leadership isn’t about shouting. It’s about staying calm when everything breaks around you. I lead through silence, not panic.” That quiet discipline was the foundation of DRX’s championship run.

The Heartbeat of the Arena
If DRX represented mastery, S8UL represented emotion. They might not have been in the top four, but they owned the crowd. Every time their logo appeared, the chants grew louder, filling the air with energy.
“Our proudest moments weren’t about kills or standings,” said Nakul, S8UL’s IGL. “It was every round we fought together. No ego, no solo plays, just trust.”
Nakul reflected on the experience. “Pressure means people care. When you’re playing for your country, that pressure turns into energy. It keeps you focused.”
Competing alongside DRX and True Rippers was a learning experience. “We saw two sides of greatness,” Nakul said. “DRX play with patience and precision. TR play with pure fire. We learned from both.”
Nakul’s final message to fans summed it up perfectly. “We placed ninth, but our fans placed us first in their hearts. Keep believing in Indian esports. Our time is coming.”
As the crowd roared and Jelly’s emotional moment went viral, BMIC 2025 felt bigger than statistics. It was a day when passion mattered as much as points.
The 2026 Roadmap and Krafton India Awards
