BMIC 2026 Day 3: NS Win Match 14 With 2,281 Damage and Extend Their Lead to 53 Points

Player	Finishes	Damage	Knocks
NSXXZY1	3	601	2
NSXTIZ1	6	749	2
NSXHYUNBIN	1	129	1
NSXSOEZ	4	802	3

NSXSOEZ posted the highest individual damage of the squad at 802, with four finishes and three knocks. NSXTIZ1 recorded six finishes, which made him the match’s MVP. NSXHYUNBIN contributed the least damage of the four, but his role in the late stages of the match helped the squad hold the position that earned the chicken dinner.

Match 14 MVP and Top Players

NSXTIZ1 was named Match 14 MVP with six finishes, 749 damage, one assist, two knockouts, and a full 30:00 of survival time. He survived to the end of the match, which is what allowed his finishes to convert into position points for NS.

The top five players of Match 14 were:

Player	Team	Finishes	Damage	Assists	Knockouts	Survival Time
NSXTIZ1	NS	6	749	1	2	30:00
GDRXAQUANOXX	GDR	5	404	1	3	23:43
NSXSOEZ	NS	4	802	1	3	30:00
ORSLUC	OR	4	721	1	3	26:29
NSXXZY1	NS	3	601	0	2	30:00

Three of the top five players are from NS, and three of the five survived the full 30 minutes. NSXSOEZ’s 802 damage was the highest in the top five, and ORSLUC’s 721 damage came from four finishes. GDRXAQUANOXX had five finishes, the most of any non-NS player in the list, but survived only 23:43.

14	KRX	0	0	0
15	VS	0	0	0
16	DCP	0	0	0

BLEC finished second on the match table with seven finishes and five position points, their strongest match of the event. That result matters because BLEC had been one of the weakest teams on the overall table, with no chicken dinners and no position points in the previous match. OR recorded nine finishes but only two position points, which left them third despite the second-highest finish count.

Kiwoom DRX (KRX) and DCP both finished the match with zero points. For KRX, who had been the highest-finishing team in the event before this match, a blank game is the kind of result that threatens their position in the table.

DK recorded only one finish but collected six position points, which put them fifth on the match table. That is a rare pattern: a team that survives long and places high without much fighting. It is a useful reminder that position points reward staying alive as much as finishing.

NS’s four wins and 174 points put them 53 ahead of DK, who sit second on 121. The gap between second and third is now 8 points, with OR and KRX tied on 113 in third and fourth. CDR move up to fifth on 94, level with DCP, who drop to sixth despite leading the event on finishes with 74.

What Match 14 Changes

NS now have four chicken dinners and more than 50 points of daylight over the rest of the table. The race for second place is the most open part of the standings, with DK, OR, and KRX separated by eight points.

Indian teams had a mixed match. BLEC’s second-place finish was their best of the event, and CDR moved up to fifth overall. OR were third on the match table, and their overall total of 113 keeps them in the top four. K9 and SOUL both finished low, which keeps them in the middle of the overall table.

Japanese teams were mostly quiet. VAL took their third chicken dinner in the event’s second half and sit 15th overall, while RIC and VS failed to score.

What to Watch Next

With 14 of 18 matches complete, NS’s lead is now large enough that the question for the final four matches is less about the title and more about the race for second place. DK need consistent points to stay in contention, and OR and KRX will both want a strong finish to close the gap. Teams that can survive to the end of matches, as NS have, will have the advantage over the last stretch.
