As anticipation builds for the BGMI International Cup 2025, one name that continues to grab attention is NINJABOI from OnePlus K9 Esports. Following a near-miss at the BGMI Showdown 2025, where his team finished as runners-up, the player is determined to turn things around at BMIC 2025 an event that could define their path toward the prestigious PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC).

Bouncing back after the BGMI Showdown

Reflecting on their narrow loss, NINJABOI admitted that the team stumbled early in the tournament. “We choked on the first day of the BGMI Showdown 2025 Grand Finals. The zero-point games affected our momentum. On the final day, we played well but missed the direct slot for the PMGC Gauntlet Stage,” he said.

Now, with BMIC 2025 scheduled to begin on October 31, NINJABOI and his squad are shifting focus to fine-tuning their strategy. “We are preparing better this time. Every game will count, and we want to ensure there are no slip-ups like before,” he added.

Preparing for global competition

The BGMI International Cup 2025 will feature eight international teams, bringing together top-tier competition from across regions. While K9 Esports has yet to face some of the top global teams, including strong Korean and Japanese squads, NINJABOI remains unfazed. “We have not competed against them yet, but our mentality is simple — no team can stop us from lifting the BMIC trophy,” he said confidently.

He also shared that the team will host strategy discussions soon after the BGMI Showdown to finalize plans tailored for the international format. The goal is clear: deliver consistent performances and secure the much-coveted PMGC 2025 slot.

Lessons learned and a renewed mindset

For NINJABOI, one major takeaway from the Showdown was the importance of maintaining consistency. “Every single point matters. Ending any game with zero points breaks your rhythm and affects upcoming rounds,” he noted.

The experience, though tough, has strengthened the team’s approach. “We were confident in our ability to win the Showdown trophy. Now, we are even more determined to prove ourselves at BMIC 2025,” he said.

The road to redemption

K9 Esports’ runner-up finish at the BGMI Showdown 2025 has only fueled their hunger. With renewed energy, refined strategies, and high morale, the team is entering the BGMI International Cup with one mission to dominate and secure their place at the PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2025.
