India’s esports dreams took a hit at the PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2025 as True Rippers plummeted to 14th place following a disastrous Day 2 performance in Group Red. The Jelly-led squad managed just 15 points across six matches, bringing their tournament total to a worrying 40 points after 12 games. With only six matches remaining in the group stage, the pressure is mounting on India’s representatives to deliver a miracle comeback.

Day 2 Match-by-Match Breakdown
Match 7 (Rondo): True Rippers collected just 1 point while BG dominated with a 20-point Chicken Dinner. Early rotations and positioning mistakes cost the Indian squad crucial survival points.
Match 8 (Erangel): A nightmare scenario—True Rippers failed to score a single point as Regnum Carya claimed their first Chicken Dinner with 28 points. The team’s early elimination highlighted aggressive play without proper backup.
Match 9 (Erangel): Twisted Minds secured victory, but True Rippers managed only 2 points. The repeated Erangel struggles suggest map-specific issues with zone prediction and gunfight execution.
Match 10 (Erangel): DRX Gaming’s dominant 23-point victory overshadowed another 1-point performance from True Rippers. The team’s inability to secure eliminations in favorable situations became glaringly obvious.
Match 11 (Miramar): A glimmer of hope emerged as True Rippers earned 9 points—their best performance of Day 2. Team Flash won with 14 points, but India finally showed competitive signs.
Match 12 (Miramar): The day ended with another disappointment—just 2 points while DRX Gaming demolished competition with 30 points. The inconsistency pattern continued troubling the squad.

What’s Going Wrong for True Rippers?
1. Early Eliminations: True Rippers are getting knocked out too early to accumulate placement points. Survival is paramount in PUBG Mobile tournaments, yet the team consistently falls in early-to-mid game scenarios.
2. Low Kill Count: With only 30 total eliminations across 12 matches (averaging 2.5 per game), their aggressive plays aren’t translating into elimination points—a critical scoring avenue.
3. Erangel Struggles: Three consecutive poor performances on Erangel (0, 2, and 1 points) reveal map-specific weaknesses in rotation strategy and compound battles.
4. Inconsistent Performances: The swing from 1 point to 9 points and back to 2 shows lack of stable strategy execution. Elite teams maintain baseline performances even in bad matches.

Can True Rippers Qualify?
With six matches remaining, True Rippers face mathematical challenges. The top teams typically need 120-140 points to advance from group stages. True Rippers would need approximately 80-100 points from the final six matches—averaging 13-17 points per game.
While theoretically possible (teams have secured 20-30 point wins), the consistency required seems beyond True Rippers’ current form. They need multiple Chicken Dinners combined with high-elimination performances to climb from 14th to a qualification spot (typically top 12-16 advance).
The Bright Spots in Darkness
Despite the disappointing standings, Match 11’s 9-point performance on Miramar showed True Rippers can compete when rotations click and gunfights go their way. Jelly’s leadership and individual skill remain undeniable—the team needs to channel this potential consistently.
India’s esports community remains hopeful. PUBG Mobile’s volatile nature means a hot streak in the final six matches could dramatically shift standings. Teams have historically overcome similar deficits with clutch performances when everything aligns.

Turkish team Regnum Carya and South Korean powerhouse DRX Gaming currently lead, but in battle royale esports, fortunes can reverse instantly. True Rippers need to believe in their redemption arc—because Indian fans certainly do.
FAQs
Q1: Can True Rippers still qualify from PMGC 2025 Group Red despite being 14th?
Yes, but it requires a miraculous performance in the remaining six matches. True Rippers currently have 40 points and typically need 120-140 total points to secure advancement (usually top 12-16 teams qualify). This means they’d need 80-100 points from six matches—averaging 13-17 points per game. While teams have achieved 20-30 point victories with Chicken Dinners and high eliminations, True Rippers would need multiple dominant performances and consistency they’ve yet to demonstrate. The mathematical possibility exists, but their current form and early elimination patterns make qualification extremely challenging unless they dramatically improve rotation strategies and gunfight execution.
Q2: Why is True Rippers struggling specifically on Erangel map?
True Rippers posted devastating performances on Erangel across three matches (0, 2, and 1 points), suggesting map-specific strategic weaknesses. Erangel’s open terrain and compound-heavy rotations require precise zone prediction, vehicle management, and coordinated team movements—areas where True Rippers are failing. Their early eliminations indicate poor drop spot selections or inability to secure compounds during mid-game rotations when zone circles shrink. Unlike Miramar where they scored 9 points showing desert map competence, Erangel’s unique pacing and cover dynamics are exposing their tactical gaps. They need urgent coaching adjustments for Erangel-specific rotation paths, compound priority, and engagement timing to remain competitive.
