Format
PGS 9 used the standard format with 24 teams split into three groups of eight for the Group Stage (October 13–15). The top 16 teams advanced to the Grand Finals (October 17–19), playing 18 matches in Squads FPP using the SUPER Global Point Rule with placement and kill scoring.
Betting angle
Twisted Minds reasserted their dominance after missing the podium at PGS 8, proving that writing them off is a mistake. Their 197-point haul was the kind of commanding performance that reinforces their value as the safest outright winner pick in any PGS event. Virtus.pro showed strong form ahead of PGS 10, which would prove prophetic. Team Falcons continued their remarkable consistency with yet another top-3 finish.
