Nongshim RedForce ended Day 2 of the BGMI International Cup 2026 with the lead they had been trying to protect all afternoon — and then some. The South Korean side won the last Miramar match with 18 eliminations, collected 28 points in a single game and finished Saturday, October 31, on 128 overall. Dplus KIA and Kiwoom DRX are tied on 105, 23 points behind. Daejeon Game PT sit fourth on 88. After 12 of 18 matches, all four places at the top of the Mumbai standings belong to South Korea.
The lead had looked fragile just one match earlier. Nongshim were on 100 after Match 11 and Dplus were at 99, the same one-point gap that separated them at the end of Day 1. Dplus had just secured a Chicken Dinner on Miramar, but Nongshim answered with the tournament’s most decisive finish of the day. Their 18-elimination win in Match 12 pushed the gap to 23 points before Sunday’s final six matches.

Nongshim earned 75 elimination points and 53 placement points across the first 12 matches. Dplus and DRX both finished on 105, with Dplus listed second on the official standings. GAME PT’s 88 points put a fourth Korean team above every Indian and Japanese roster.
Every Chicken Dinner on BMIC 2026 Day 2
Six games were played on October 31: one on Rondo, three on Erangel and two on Miramar. Each Chicken Dinner awards 10 placement points; the elimination count is added to produce the game score.
| Match | Map | Winner | Elims | Place pts | Match pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | Rondo | 7 | 10 | 17 | |
| 8 | Erangel | 4 | 10 | 14 | |
| 9 | Erangel | 9 | 10 | 19 | |
| 10 | Erangel | 10 | 10 | 20 | |
| 11 | Miramar | 7 | 10 | 17 | |
| 12 | Miramar | 18 | 10 | 28 |

There were three South Korean Chicken Dinners across the six matches — two for Nongshim and one for Dplus. K9 Esports and Gladiators Esports won for India, while Valor delivered Japan’s victory on Erangel. Unlike the Day 1 standings, the daily result was not decided by the number of dinners alone: consistency and elimination totals kept the top Korean sides ahead.

Score verification note: K9 Esports have a one-point difference between the individual match cells and the final leaderboard. The match cells shown add to 43 points on Day 2; the verified overall scoreboard records 78 points, including 51 eliminations and 27 placement points, meaning 44 Day 2 points on top of Friday’s 34. The final cumulative board has one additional elimination which is not assigned to a specific game in the displayed grid. This article uses the latest official leaderboard total and preserves the match-by-match cells without inventing a correction.
Nongshim’s 28-point Miramar win changed the shape of the leaderboard
The biggest story of Match 12 was not simply that Nongshim won another Chicken Dinner. They entered the game on 100 points, only one ahead of Dplus. Nongshim scored 18 eliminations and the full 10 placement points. Dplus, meanwhile, finished seventh with five eliminations for six match points, lifting their total to 105. DRX added 10 points, including five eliminations and third-place placement points, to draw level with Dplus.
That single Miramar match took Nongshim from a one-point lead to a 23-point cushion. They have three Chicken Dinners through 12 games, matching Dplus, but hold 13 more elimination points than their nearest rivals. The South Korean sweep is now more than a close three-team contest: four Korean rosters are occupying the top four after two complete days.
India’s strongest response came from Gladiators, not the overnight leaders
Team Outrage began Saturday as India’s top-ranked side, fourth overall with 47 points. They remain the highest Indian team after 12 games, but slipped to fifth on 83 as Daejeon Game PT moved ahead of them. Outrage collected 36 points across Day 2 and did not add to their Chicken Dinner count.
Gladiators Esports made the bigger day-on-day jump. They entered on 25 points and finished on 79, gaining 54 on Saturday — only two fewer than Nongshim’s Day 2 haul. The turning point was a 20-point Chicken Dinner in Match 10, followed immediately by another 20-point result in Match 11: second place with 14 eliminations. Those two games alone produced 40 points and lifted Gladiators from the lower half into sixth.
K9 Esports won the opening Rondo game with seven eliminations and 17 points. They ended Day 2 seventh on 78, tied on points with Japan’s KINOTROPE Gaming but ranked ahead. iQOO SouL also improved substantially, adding 48 on the day to reach 72 overall, while iQOO 8BIT finished on 70. India now have six teams spread from fifth to fourteenth, rather than a single side directly chasing Nongshim.
What changes on Day 3?
Sunday, November 1, brings the remaining Games 13–18. With six matches still available, a 23-point gap is meaningful but not unassailable — especially after Saturday produced 28-point and 20-point games. Dplus and DRX are level in second and third; GAME PT have 88 and Team Outrage 83. Those five points between fourth and fifth could be critical as the final international cup standings settle.
The most useful number heading into the last day may be the gap between the top and the rest. Nongshim’s 128 is already 45 ahead of Team Outrage, India’s highest-ranked roster. India’s best Day 2 performance came from Gladiators, but Korea’s aggregate advantage is the story of the first 12 games. The final six will determine whether a Korean team converts that command into the title or whether the chasing pack can turn a few exceptional matches into a sustained comeback.
ByteMedia’s Day 1 coverage contains the first six matches and opening standings. The figures in this article reflect the latest supplied post-Match-12 scoreboard dated October 31, not older public score pages that were still showing earlier matches.
