Dylan Miller Breaks Through Against Kyle Santucci at PSL Langley, Adds Intrigue to Championship Race
Miller defeated Santucci earlier in the bracket, then won Grand Finals on the final solve of Set 5 to claim his first PSL win over Santucci this season.
Dylan Miller defeated Kyle Santucci at PSL Langley in Canada, earning his first PSL win over Santucci after dropping their first two meetings this season.
The final came down to the last solve of Set 5 in the first match of Grand Finals. Santucci recorded a 6.43, while Miller answered with a 5.66 to close out the match and win the event.
Watch the full stream below.
Miller entered Grand Finals with the bracket advantage after defeating Santucci earlier in the event. That meant Santucci needed to win two matches in Grand Finals to take the title, while Miller needed only one. Santucci worked his way back through the bracket to force the rematch, but Miller closed out the event in the opening Grand Finals match.
The result cuts Santucci’s season head-to-head lead over Miller to 2-1. Santucci had won each of their first two PSL meetings, while both competitors had already qualified for the PSL Championship at the end of the year by winning separate PSL events earlier this season.
If Miller and Santucci meet again at the PSL Championship, the season series will carry added weight from one of the closest finishes of the PSL season.
