PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS: Twisted Minds crowned PGS 12 Champions

Twisted Minds are your PGS 12 Champions. The PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS developers posted the news on Steam today, along with a look back from PUBG expert and caster Jisooboy, who calls it a "dramatic win" and says "the king has returned."

Here's what I can tell you, and only what the post says. The part I have is cut off mid-sentence. It gives no final standings, no match details and no prize info. If you want those, check the original post.

What it does give is a résumé. In 2024, Twisted Minds claimed three consecutive PGS titles. In 2025, they won the Esports World Cup, then took another championship at PGS 9, then finished as runners-up at PGS 10. Jisooboy calls them one of the most complete teams in the history of PUBG Esports.

The roles are the fun part:

BatulinS read the flow of every battlefield. xmpl initiated engagements. Perfect1ks kept pace with the evolving meta. Lu stood as the unwavering last line of defense.

According to Jisooboy, nobody carried alone. All four understood their responsibilities and played them according to the situation.

What it means at your keyboard

The post says Twisted Minds were never just a team that fights well. They knew when to engage, when to disengage and when to start applying pressure. That includes positioning and rotations that set up favorable situations, then the firepower to cash them in.

So if your squad's plan is "everyone push the same compound," this is your sign. Pick a job. Know your job. Know when to leave the fight.

My take

I love that the praise here is about decisions, not highlight reels. Anyone can win a 1v1. Knowing when not to take it is the real flex.

Is this going to fix your squad's rotations? No. Will I still shout "Lu holds the line!" at my second monitor? Yes. My backlog and my one decorative fan are both watching.
