No idea who takes this, both halves feel equal unlike previous Euro Tour final days.
>>156684997Surely a seed in the top 10, my money's probably on whoever comes through the asp/smudger bit of the draw
>>156685529Schmidt aside that bottom quarter of the "top half" looks brutal.
>Jobbermena
Can an anon get a stream link? strumyk is sucking big dick
Well that was fucking dogshit from Joyce
>>156686058Fawanews.sc
>>156686160many thanks
Clayton not fucking about
>>156686232ppv.cx works too la'
>>156686422This was well timed
is Clayton's build achievable natty?
>>156686510
Absolutely embarrassing collapse for Clayton
>Clay'un
Would have got a few quid humping it all on Chode to win at 4-0 down
r8 my setup
>>156686855the jews fear the crusty cumboard
>>156686855Jesus Christ
>>156686855I have seen and played on worse. When they come apart like that its at least a good sign its doing its job. Some of the worst boards i can recall are the rip-off unicorn/winmau ones which literally just throw your darts on the floor.
>>156686998I noticed when I played on a board with a wire and shitty pins the amount of bounce-outs is a lot higher than with a "normal" boardBeen using koto 360 the last few months and there's barely any signs of use, surprisingly a really good board
GabeC lost his virginity this week
>that 130 on a bullNOICE

>MatchfixerLOL
luv Heta
MVG surely has shed a stone or two
>losing to 2026 Dweeb>againEmbarrassing for van Gerwen ahead of the Matchplay
BASED HETA
let's go Seba
Well done Seb, solidifying Top 64 spotSchmidt next
Was expecting a Ferrit like choke there, glad it didnt happen
LOOKING LIKE A RAPE SURVIVORFEELING LIKE A DIDDLED KID
100% if Wade wins this he'll mention the football/world wars in his post match
>>156689111>that finish for a startgoddamn the Schmidts are in form today
Shame for Schmidt, opponent wasn't a bottler today
>>156689594>80avg
>>156690251That's the point, he wasn't playing De Decker or Menzies. Would have needed to face an exceptionally bad Wade.
>>156690320and even then Wade didn't play that well, he was on like 89avg. Good first part of the game for him but then he kept fumbling doubles
Another Euro Tour disappointment for the Chud. Wasn't even top level Rat either.>Wattimena v Woodhouse>Dirk v Heta>Bialecki v Wade>Aspinall v Ratajski
BASEDBIGRAT
Wadeys winning this
>>156691113Can't rule any of them out to be honest. Well, maybe Wattimena/Dirk.
Evening session bump, starts in 30 minutes.
Wattijobber has the throw for QF1
Clayton will be wanting to end himself watching these two job like fuck.
Efficient from Wattijobber, never wasting a dart on throw. Great energy management.
>Woodlouse
>Fat fuck crying because he reached a ET semiWatch him get raped in the semis.
Tourist here. Turned the telly on and this happened to be on.Who do I cheer for lads
>>156695393Wadey, Divingboard, Rat or Bialecki are all acceptable I think.
>>156695369>potential Wattijobber v DorkI can already FEEL the Eurojobbing
>>156695393Wadey
>Dork crashing and burning on a big stageAs expected
Did some players always have that annoying gimmick to change their regular walkon tune to some local pisshead hynm, or did I only just notice it because we have ET threads now?>>156695963To be fair, I expected the same of Heta. Well, seems he's on it now.
>>156696067A lot of players use a different walk-on on the Euro Tour.>that endingDirk is shit
>DorkNever mind, you can't outjob a true eurojobber.
>>156695393The rank outsider is the young polish lad Bialecki. Think i heard comms saying that in the last year and a half only one unseeded player made it to a semi final and that was a WDF world champion.
Damn, I want Bialecki to do well, but I also want Wade to win the tournament.
Alright thenGwan wadey!!!!
Quite a short list of players id be cheering Wade on over these days. Feel, Hankey, Klassen, Tony Eccles
>>156696483
Uh oh...
>>156696220>Think i heard comms saying that in the last year and a half only one unseeded player made it to a semi final and that was a WDF world champion.Wrong Modus star, Tom Sykes got to a semi-final in Slovakia. Said WDF world champion Jimmy van Schie got to the quarter-final in his only Euro Tour appearance.
Based Bialecki
>>156696949Great game from him, even a decent game from Wade might not have been enough. Hoping for an all polish semi now.
>>156696858They were talking about Baetens i think
>Wattimena v Heta>Bialecki v RatajskiPure memes
>>156697965Baetens only got to the quarters at the start of this year, Clayton beat him.
KURWA!
Poland strong
>>156696067>To be fair, I expected the same of Heta.And guess what's happening now
>>156698474True. Well, by now Poland is our only hope anyway.
>an 87 average gets you to your maiden Euro Tour finalYikes.
Big news for next weekend with the Matchplay schedule being released: https://www.pdc.tv/news/2026/july/12/2026-betfred-world-matchplay-schedule/A different contingency plan is in place compared to 2 years ago in the event England get to the World Cup final:>Should England reach the FIFA World Cup final, which is being held on Sunday night, the first three sessions of the World Matchplay will be moved forward - including the scheduled games and all tickets.>That would mean that Saturday's opening session will be held from 1300 BST on July 18, with the previously planned Sunday afternoon session moving to Saturday night from 1900 BST.>The planned Sunday evening session would then take place on Sunday afternoon from 1300 BST.
>>156699058Juicy arrers, love the matchplay
MAXIMUM RAT
Wattijobber v Rat for the title. Wattijobber's first ever Euro Tour final (unless you include THAT European Championship final). Rat's first Euro Tour final since September 2023.
>>156699680about a leg behind here on fawa ffs
>>156699680Silly me forgot this was first to 7.
>>156699704No, that was my mistake. For some bizarre reason I thought the semi was first to 6. Must be thinking of the old system.
>>156699711Genuine lol
Now >>156699680 applies. Shame for Seb but that disastrous leg 9 ended it for him.
Need to send chud our energy for the matchplay
Ratajski has the darts in the final.
CAN'T SPLAT THE RAT
IT'S COMING HOME
Based Eagle removing another speedjobber.
Rat in trouble now
>look away for a moment>Wattijobber has pulled evenGrim.
that absolute state of this throwing
>break>hype the crowd with one of the most awkward crowd hype gestures ever>open leg with 43Absolute fucking state of speedjobbers.
That leg is why I hate Ratajski's route on 72. Makes things unnecessarily difficult.
motherfucker is matchfixing
RAT! WAT DOING?
embarrassing to watch
Der polnische Igel fliegt wieder. :)
watching this match was like passing a kidney stonefucking horror
Based, finally! Should have won that one quicker.
BASED!
And so Krzysztof Ratajski makes it 3 out of 3 in European Tour finals with his first title on the ET since September 2023, and first title of any kind since May 2025 as he denied Jermaine Wattimena a maiden Pro Tour stage title in a back-and-forth encounter. The Polish Eagle flew out of the traps in the final going 4-1 up on his Dutch opponent, but poor doubling from Ratajski saw the Machine Gun rattle off 5 straight legs to lead 6-4. However, Wattimena's famed speedjobbing returned as he missed darts at double in 3 of the last 4 legs to lose, with his opponent moving back into the Top 20 as a result.Ratajski's victory took advantage of the top four seeds crashing out at various stages today, with James Wade the only one to make it past the afternoon session. It will definitely feel like a missed opportunity for those top four seeds, but the Polish #1 will surely be confident heading into the second major ranking event of the season after tonight's victory.The World Matchplay will begin on Saturday 18th July from the world famous Empress Ballroom at Blackpool's Winter Gardens. Remember: if England win on Wednesday, it will be Saturday AFTERNOON for the opening session, otherwise Saturday evening as usual.
