True Rippers Confident Ahead of BMIC 2025
Finishing fourth still keeps your dreams alive for the BGMI International Cup. How would you evaluate your journey so far?
Ans. – BGMI Showdown 2025 has been a huge learning experience for us. We know there were moments where our decision-making cost us the title. We started strong but couldn’t maintain the same momentum toward the end. However, our consistent top-five finishes across most official tournaments give us the confidence to perform even better at BMIC 2025.

Were there any matches where mistakes cost you crucial points that could have earned you a podium finish?
Ans. – Yes, definitely. We could have secured wins in the RONDO matches, but we let those slip away unexpectedly. After that, our performance dipped, which kept us off the podium and ultimately out of contention for the trophy.
How prepared is your roster to face different playstyles from regions like South Korea and Japan?
Ans. – We’re currently studying the gameplay of top international teams from South Korea and Japan. However, we don’t plan to change our own playstyle too much—it’s unpredictable, and that’s one of our biggest strengths. The goal is to understand their strategies while keeping our own gameplay dynamic and difficult to read. That balance will be key if we want to lift the BGMI International Cup 2025 trophy.
What are your thoughts on the current zone meta and recent gameplay changes in BGMI? Will these help Indian teams, or will we see teams like Dplus dominate again like they did at the India-Korea Invitational?
Ans. – We don’t believe there’s much difference in the current game settings. Our main advantage is that eight Indian teams are participating, and we’re already familiar with their playstyles. So, we only need to study around eight international teams, whereas South Korean and Japanese rosters will have to analyze twelve Indian teams. That gives us an edge going into BMIC 2025.
