DRX defend the BMIC crown in Mumbai with only Qx left from the title core

Korean organisation DRX dates to 7 January 2018, but its PUBG Mobile chapter is much younger: the division opened on 5 June 2024, built around the DUKSAN Esports core of Qx, Cyxae, HYUNBIN and SOEZ, who all moved across on the same day. In 2026 the wider organisation has also competed as Kiwoom DRX under a sponsorship name announced in March, while the mobile squad kept the DRX tag that Indian fans already know.
That short mobile history already holds the trophy this site cares about most. DRX won the first Battlegrounds Mobile India International Cup in New Delhi in November 2025, with HYUNBIN named MVP, and the same core added the Pro Series 2025 Season 1 title, fourth place at the World Cup 2025 and sixth at PMGC 2025. No Korean team outside the big two has a comparable India record, and DRX did it inside eighteen months of entering the game.
January 2026 broke the champions apart: HYUNBIN and SOEZ left for Nongshim RedForce, Cyxae crossed to Dplus KIA, and only Qx stayed. TalkEsport reports the rebuild added BINI from Nongshim plus Hoxy and TRE from FN Esports, coached by Bigfafa, and the new four earned their Mumbai defence the hard way, finishing second at the PUBG Mobile Pro Series 2026 Season 2 behind Nongshim RedForce. Liquipedia records this lineup's 2026 Korean results under the KRX tag.
For DRX, the verified current lineup is Qx, BINI, Hoxy and TRE.
