 As we move through February 2026, Nolbu is riding the momentum of a historic 2025 season. Having recently secured a top-5 finish at the PMGC 2025 and multiple domestic titles, he is currently the most feared player in the Asian servers.

Player Profile: Song “Nolbu” Soo-an

Nolbu’s rise was meteoric, moving from a promising rookie to a world-class anchor in less than two years.

2024–2025: The Year of the MVP

The last 18 months have been a trophy-laden stretch for Nolbu. He has successfully transitioned from being a “regional star” to a “global elite.”

1. The PMGC 2025 Performance

At the PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC) 2025, Nolbu was a force of nature.

• MVP Highlights: He was crowned the Day 2 MVP of the Group Stage (Group Green), single-handedly carrying Dplus KIA through impossible rotations.

• Global Ranking: He led his team to a 5th-place finish in the Grand Finals, the highest of any Korean team in recent years, earning a massive chunk of the $3,000,000 prize pool.

2. Domestic Dominance (PMPS 2025)

In South Korea, Nolbu is virtually untouchable.

• PMPS 2025 Season 2: 1st Place. Nolbu took home the Finals MVP and the Gunslinger award.

• Korean Esports League 2025: 1st Place. He helped DK cement their status as the undisputed #1 team in the country.

The 2026 Dplus KIA “Super-Team”

As of early 2026, Nolbu is surrounded by a roster of disciplined veterans and explosive fraggers. The current Dplus KIA 2026 Lineup includes:

• Nolbu (The Star Assaulter)

• Chicken (The Sniper/Support)

• Cyxae (The Entry Fragger – Joined Jan 2026)

• Auto (The Tactical Support – Joined Jan 2026)

• Porico (The Scout – Joined Jan 2026)

With YD as the Head Coach, DK has adopted a “Total War” playstyle in 2026—aggressive early-game drops followed by Nolbu-led late-game house clears.

Technical Breakdown: The Nolbu “Laser” Settings

Nolbu is a “Full Gyroscope” player who emphasizes stability over raw speed. In 2026, his sensitivity settings are highly sought after for their “zero recoil” feel.

The Gyroscope Philosophy: Nolbu uses a 300-400% Gyroscope sensitivity for his Red Dot and 2x scopes, allowing for micro-adjustments during high-speed vehicle sprays.

Button Layout: He uses a 5-Finger Claw setup on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which enables him to “drop-shot” and “lean-fire” simultaneously with 100% accuracy.

The M416 + 6x Meta: Nolbu is the master of the “pulled-back 6x” spray. His ability to track moving targets at 200m+ is statistically the highest in the PMPS circuit.

Impact on the Global Scene

Nolbu’s influence extends into the Indian and Southeast Asian markets. During the Battlegrounds Mobile India International Cup 2025, Indian fans flocked to see him play, where he led DK to a 6th-place finish. He is often cited by players like Spraygod and nOOzy as a player who has “perfected the art of the trade.”

The Future of Dplus KIA
