In a heated competition that almost saw the first bracket reset in the PSL’s history, Luke Griesser claimed victory at PSL Michigan, beating Dylan Miller by a score of three sets to two.
The final event of the league’s first season was held on Saturday in Port Huron, MI, and featured a slightly smaller roster compared to other events. Notably, Morgan Yeh cancelled his appearance at the event due to poor weather. Besides Miller and Griesser, the contest also featured cubing content creator Owen Stotts, better known as STUCUBE, making his PSL debut.
The grand final featured Miller and Griesser going solve for solve, culminating in a final solve that, had Miller won it, would’ve claimed the set and therefore reset the bracket, allowing him a second chance to win it all. Unfortunately, Miller’s final solve of 6.06 wasn’t enough to secure a reset, which would’ve allowed him to compete for his second PSL title.
Griesser’s victory in the final gave him his first title after competing multiple times in last season’s events. The next PSL event will be held in Oregon on March 14th.
