good morning Searles
Anyone but Matchfixer. Hope Blind Man does a job on him.
>Van Schie has been noted for his height, standing at 2.07 metres (6 ft 9 in) tall. He originally chose to play basketball as a child, but lost interest and began playing darts.>from basketball to dartskek
>>154946366Probably could do a good spike cosplay
>>154946438he looks like peter crouch
looks like a battle between a fat hobbit and an ent
BASED BIG MAN
>Cummy
atleast the next game gonna be real good
Menzies acting like he wants to groom Woodhouse kek
luv this lil gnome
Damn, thought this would start now, missed the first two games. Luckily, /ourluke/ got the win anyway.>Doets vs HoodBased.
hood not so good today
>that 110 finish from WadeBOLD
>one of van Schie, Woodhouse, Doets or Evans will be in the finalIf Searle beats Nijman I believe that will guarantee eight different ET winners this season.
YEEEEW RICKY LET'S GO BIG FELLA
>>154947556Time to invest in Woodcoins, lads.
hope Heta wins the whole thing
>>154947854He won't, because I am watching, and somehow he always loses when I am watching.
>>154947928Come on man... mind turning off the stream for 20 minutes?
>>154947940It has hiccups, so maybe you're in luck.
>missing the board on 60>WillieFucking idiot
>>154948050Well, your curse didn't work this time
Springer reminds me of John Lennon trying to throw darts. The way he leans back.
>>154948450>Imagine all the jobbing
Absolute shit from Chud today, Chizzy not even playing that exceptional either, just has the finishing on point.
it has been shit from chud for months now
yea we are back
>ChudStarted that deciding leg far too slowly.
>jobbing to Jizzy in 2026
As long as it's not Cheat, I'm fine with this.
>>154948815It will be the cheat.
>>154949294Sadly, yes. But one can dream.
>>154949294This.>expecting Dweeb to do anything>same for Jobber Joyce and Dim Dave>strongest player in the top half is DoetsMensur genuinely was right about the big names devaluing these events by fucking them off. Yes, it opens the opportunities for other players to go on runs, but fuck me the shite that's left sometimes.
>>154949813It's his time.
>>154949923>that LUKE ad on his chestOK Jimmy, but WHICH Luke?
#sheddedDecent ET debut for Jimmy but finishing deserted him at the worst possible time.

Rapid's first Euro Tour semi-final since 2019
>>154949923>>154949976>Oranjobar>Orange Jobber
Dweeb doing something good for once. Fuck off Matchfixer.
>Wessel cant handle the aussie bants
The highest ranked player left is Woodhouse at 19th. Even if he won the title, he would move up a grand total of one spot.
>Packed room full of sozzled germans belting out euro bangers and getting hype for chizzy v Joyce
>>154951535This is because money on offer at the worlds has fucked the OoM. Winning the worlds is equivalent to winning 29 euro tour events.
>>154951680Yeah, it's gone to absolute shit. I think they're going to have to shift to a points Order of Merit eventually.I really hope Chud isn't watching this match. Chizzy has reverted to form. And that form is "complete shite".
>>154951809>points Order of Merit Would be based, if only to force littler to turn up at Euro events and be booed relentlessly
Your semi-finals:>Luke Woodhouse v Ricky Evans>Damon Heta v Ryan JoyceIs this one of the worst ET semi-final line-ups of all time?
>>154951809>>154951895We should create an alternative points OoM ourselves. 1pt for a 1st round victory, 2 for 2nd round, etc?
>Crapid in any game of meaningful significanceFuck off, Ricky.
Its heated up
THE MOST BORING EUROPEAN TOUR FINAL OF ALL TIME HAS BEEN CONFIRMED:>LUKE WOODHOUSE v RYAN JOYCENOW THAT'S BLAND
>that last leg
Looks quite comfy in kiel from this drone cam
>>154953498They've got to do something to incentivise the top players to enter. This is fucking dire.
I dont usually watch this shite but in like the past 3-4 of these i think ive seen Rock, Chud, Bunting, Noppert, Searle, Wade, Clayton i think and MVG. Thats 8 of the top 12 and i think the likes of Chud and Wadey and a few others have been at more than one of them. Its not been that grim not having the two lukes/roidlet around desu
>>154953597Imagine being a pissed up German paying these prices for this evening session.
>>154953795The trouble is when you get so many of the big names missing, it makes the tournament look unattractive. And even the big names that turned up played shit.
>away for most of the evening>firmly expect to come home to see Cheat won the event>instead come home right in time to see the Joyce - Woodhouse-finalHoly based timeline!
>>154953977I think youve made the point the $$$ incentive for Lukes to turn up to these has been lost a bit with recent changes, but havnt the likes of gando/feel been part timers since the start? Those two old cunts going deep in and winning loads of majors/titles year after year i think made them not bother and im pretty sure meant they were always a bit second class. I can imagine MVG stuck around a lot more cos he was closer to home
DAT 140
Jesus fucking Christ, Woody. Going absolute fucking rape on Joyce.
>>154954154It's not just the Lukes though. Five of the original seeds pulled out. It's why you had Daryl Gurney (ranked #24) as a Top 16 seed. The whole draw got messed around because of it.
>>154953977Conversely, if every euro tour and PC was won by one of the Lukes every time how long before all interest completely dies?
>>154954310might pick up now the exbo is over.
>183 left>throw at 20sState of that from Michael Owen
>>154953977You are probably right for the average mongpit fodder, but I enjoy seeing some fresh faces winning, even if it is only scraps compared to the worlds or other majors.
Bloody hell.
>>154947604Hate to say "I told you so", but: I told you so.t. tells you so every time, and once in 1000 times it actually happens.
/ourluke/
Impressive
oooffff that 160Congrats Luke
Not sure woody can count to 3 in german
Seriously, does he have Tourettes or something? This guy just displays a flurry of random facial expressions, all the time.
>>154954777When you're bristling with as much charisma as Woody sometimes it just bursts out like that.
>Andrew Gilding>Cameron Menzies>Jimmy van Schie>Ricky Evans>Ryan JoyceDoes it even count if those were your opponents?
>>154954796Sounds reasonable, that's why he is best Luke.
Just twelve days ago, Luke Woodhouse carried the burden of being the highest ranked player in the PDC to have never won a ranking title. Now, he not only has a Players Championship title, but also a European Tour title as he defeated Ryan Joyce 8-4 in a final that felt like a foregone conclusion. Woody surged into a 3-0 lead averaging around 115, and despite Relentless managing to get within a single leg on two occasions at 3-2 and 4-3, could not keep throw and allowed his opponent to break back before a surge to the finish for Woodhouse, dropping just one more leg and sealing the title with a superb 160 finish. While Worcestershire's answer to Michael Owen may quite possibly be the dullest darts player to have ever stepped onto the oche, you can't deny he's deserved some success this year after some good displays, most notably against Luke Humphries in the World Masters. And he's managed to bag a stage title ahead of the likes of Ryan Searle, Jermaine Wattimena and Dirk van Duijvenbode, to name but three floor warriors.A very low-quality Euro Tour with few good displays and quite a notable number of poor ones, especially from the top names. If the bigger boys keep pulling out of these events, the lesser ones will take the trophies. Is it necessarily a bad thing? Depends what you think to be honest. Parity's probably better than quality anyway.Players Champs on Tuesday & Wednesday, the World Series resumes Friday from Copenhagen, and of course the World Cup commences 11th June.
