Nongshim RedForce in 2026

What has the Nongshim RedForce PUBG Mobile team won in 2026, and how strong are they before PMGC? Through November 12, they have 5 titles and a runner-up finish at the PUBG Mobile World Cup. Their latest win came at BMIC, where they finished 82 points ahead of DRX.

I'd put Nongshim among the serious PMGC challengers because their results hold up beyond Korea. They won the Macao Invitational and came within 5 points of the PMWC title in Paris. The useful question now is how their finals performances translate into another international lobby.

Nongshim RedForce's 2026 Results

Nongshim won both seasons of Korea's PUBG Mobile Pro Series, or PMPS. KRAFTON's BMIC preview carried by Inven Global also confirms their KEL and Macao titles alongside the PMWC runner-up finish.

Liquipedia's event records list these results through November 12. Dates mark the final day of each event.

That is 3 domestic titles and 2 international titles among these wins. Macao matters because Nongshim had already won outside their domestic league before the Mumbai result.

Liquipedia's Macao Invitational results list Nongshim as champions ahead of FURIA. They closed that event under the Smash Rule, so the title follows the winning condition rather than a simple points sort.

I'd judge the season on those separate tests. Winning repeatedly at home establishes consistency, while Macao and Paris give us evidence against international opponents.

Nongshim RedForce PUBG Mobile Roster

The 4 players listed for both PMPS Season 2 and BMIC are XZY, TIZ1, HYUNBIN and SOEZ. Liquipedia's PMPS Season 2 roster and awards provide the recent lineup.

The individual awards are spread across 3 players. They give you several names to follow without reducing the team to one player.

Liquipedia's PMPS Season 1 record lists HYUNBIN as MVP. Its KEL record lists XZY, who later added the BMIC award with 45 finishes.

An MVP list can't tell us who takes every difficult rotation or supports each fight. I'd use it as a reason to follow several players, rather than assume every good result comes from the same source.

Finals Performances in Numbers

Nongshim averaged 8.5 finishes per map across the 2 PMPS finals and BMIC. A finish means an elimination; a chicken dinner means a match win.

The PMPS match records on Datagrounds cover each 12-map final. BMIC supplies a separate 18-map final, so these samples do not overlap.

The arithmetic is 112 + 97 + 148 = 357 finishes over 12 + 12 + 18 = 42 maps. Their 13 wins amount to about 31% of those matches.

Their finish rate fell between the 2 PMPS finals, but they still won 4 matches in each. That matters when assessing consistency: Nongshim retained the title without needing to exceed May's elimination output.

These events have different opponents, so the combined average describes those 3 finals rather than predicting a PMGC score. It also leaves out Macao, KEL and PMWC.

At BMIC, Sports Digest's published standings agree with Datagrounds on Nongshim's 233 points and DRX's 151. The 82-point margin came alongside the highest finish total in that lobby.

Nongshim's Map Strengths

Miramar produced Nongshim's highest finish rate at BMIC. Their Datagrounds match record shows 67 finishes across its 6 Miramar maps.

The comparison with the PMPS Season 2 final shows how their output changed between October's domestic final and Mumbai.

Miramar accounted for about 45% of Nongshim's BMIC finishes from one-third of the maps. That is 67 divided by 148, compared with 6 divided by 18.

Erangel still supplied 3 wins at each event. Nongshim could build their finish total on Miramar while taking more match wins on Erangel.

Rondo needs more caution. At the PMPS Season 1 final they recorded 41 finishes in just 2 Rondo maps, averaging 20.5. That is an exceptional short sample, but I'd want more matches before calling it their strongest map.

These numbers describe results. They don't establish which drop spot, rotation or tactical call caused them.

PMWC and the PMGC Route

The PMWC runner-up finish is the strongest reason to take Nongshim seriously at another global event. Sports Digest's final standings put S2G on 154 points and Nongshim on 149, a gap of 5.

Datagrounds has 17 of that final's 18 maps. Nongshim recorded 98 finishes and 3 wins in those 17, which is a partial sample. The 149-point total comes from the published standings.

Their qualification route then improved after BMIC:

• The PMPS Season 2 title initially earned Nongshim a PMGC Group Stage place.
• Winning BMIC upgraded them to the Gauntlet.
• Liquipedia's PMPS Season 2 allocation notes list DRX as inheriting Nongshim's former Group Stage slot.

As of November 12, Liquipedia lists Nongshim in the Gauntlet scheduled for November 26 and 27 in Istanbul. That entry is their starting stage, not a Grand Finals result. The PMGC 2026 schedule and format explains the routes onward.

FAQs on Nongshim RedForce

What I'd Watch at PMGC

I'd start with Nongshim's Miramar finish rate and their ability to keep winning on Erangel. If the Mumbai pattern survives against the Gauntlet field, their early results will give us a stronger basis for judging another title run.
