Event favorites and teams to watch

Predicting the best esports betting odds among the competing teams may seem difficult with the year-end event so close and teams jockeying for position here, but a couple of squads have performed significantly well and should be considered the betting favorites for the event.

• Winner at the 2025 Esports World Cup, Twisted Minds, is one of the strongest teams competing at the event. This roster has showcased its abilities at the game’s highest levels of play, and if it maintains its consistency, then it’ll be a worthy contender for the championship at PGS 9 and a sure betting favorite.
• The Expendables is another team that is poised to make a run here. The PUBG Global Championship winner has powerhouse player Nguyễn “Clories” Long Hảo on its roster, and he’s one of the best in the game.
• Team Falcons shouldn’t be underestimated and is a clear favorite here as well, but with its odds being where they are, bettors may want to consider other opportunities with greater potential payouts.

Jaxon’s pick for the 2025 PUBG Global Series 9 winner

Twisted Minds is poised to be the team to beat at PUBG Global Series 9. The team has displayed a consistently strong performance and the sort of synergy that’s needed to come out on top of an event which competing teams must run it back over and over again.

Twisted Mind’s win at the Esports World Cup in August showcased everything that makes this star-studded roster so fierce. The squad is our PUBG betting pick to triumph at the game’s year-end championship, and to set itself up for a run there by first taking home this trophy.
