Today we had plenty of upsets, especially in evening session. Earlier today Madars Razma won against 25th ranked van Duijvenbode. Then Ross Smith got eliminated by Paolo Nebrida in 3 straight sets. That's already second big upset in tournament made by guy from Philippines, in previous round he eliminated Jim Williams.
Another big name - Gary Anderson also lost in 3 sets to Jeffrey de Graaf from Sweden. From favorites only Van den Bergh ddidn't had any troubles.

Quite a lot of upsets indeed, biggest upset was the loss of Gary Anderson who is a 2 times world champion and he played a couple of decents tournaments lately also.

And this guy is just 17 years old. If he will continue what he is doing now, he can become goat of darts.

That is what I also think. He came a little bit out of now where last year but is already a millionaire after 1 year of darts Grin

Watched the last leg of the Littler game yesterday and he made another record by having the highest set average of about 140. He is my number 1 favorite to win the title.

And this guy is just 17 years old. If he will continue what he is doing now, he can become goat of darts.

I knew it, giant killer Nebrida is still on the tournament, it's one of the biggest so far, and the way he did it, defeating Ross Smith 3-0. So he is the first Asian to advance to the last 32 and he really put the flag of the Philippines and it could be a sign that the Filipino are going to improved and there is potential for them.

So let's see how far Nebrida and I'm hoping he can go the quarterfinals as this is really huge for Filipino dart fans.

The first time I watched darts was at early 2024, and the only Filipino Darts that I saw was a person named Christian Perez.
I can't find the video on YouTube unfortunately, but he's became popular (at least for me) when he shouted at his opponent after shouting at him when he got a point. Cheesy

I mean for me, it's just funny to have that kind of revenge.

Anyway, like you said, darts isn't that popular in our country, and it hasn't been given that much attention as well. Like you, I also don't know why darts isn't being focused as well. Maybe because it isn't an Olympic Sport currently. Nevertheless, I'm enjoying watching darts game ever since I started watching it a few months ago. Those nine-darters and the crowd cheering whenever they had a 180. Cheesy

In Belgium the sport has become massive popular thanks to the likes of Huybrechts and Van Den Bergh, a lot of people nowadays play it in bars hoping to also break through in the game as you a lot of money can be earned when you are really good. Watched the last leg of the Littler game yesterday and he made another record by having the highest set average of about 140. He is my number 1 favorite to win the title.

With this upcoming competition, I am wondering if there will be new memes that will arise from this event. Grin

Remember the Paris Olympics - shooters like Yusuf Dikec (Turkey) and Kim Yeji (South Korea). So now, we are awaiting from this sports if there will be viral angles that audience can capture.. Darts is not a very popular sports. So who knows, one viral meme from this event can gain popularity from the world audience.

Fans are now getting unforgettable moments because most are carrying their smartphones and one snapshot can go viral over social media platforms.

Ladies and gentleman, we have first 9-darter in this World Championship :
https://x.com/OfficialPDC/status/1869487579646574598
Congratulations to Christian Kist for making it and also earning nice £60k bonus. His match with Razma is still in play, it's very close.
We have huge upset, not ranked guy from Philippines beats 46th Jim Williams.

9 darter wasn't enough for Kist to win game, Razma goes to the next round.

I'm a Filipino and it's very unusual for us to see a Filipino in the world stage, so congrats to Paolo Nebrida.

But I will tell you that darts if very popular to Filipinos, but not sure why we don't want to concentrate on this sports as obviously we love boxing and basketball. And if you go around every streets, there is at least some local playing, 501 as we call it (not sure how is it call and then killers).

There's a lot of dart tournament in our country mate, but usually it's on the "inter-baranggay" level. However, some of those players didn't go pro in our country, as obviously there is no money in this sports, sad to say.

But it could change as we have seen a lot of Filipinos in world tours already and carving their name in the Europe tour. So I wouldn't be surprised if we can get a least a champion in the next 5 years as keep improving.

Michael van Gerwen next match is against Brendan Dolan, but obviously he is a huge favorite.

results of the sixth day of the pdc world championship

Michael Smith, the 2023 world champion and number two in the order of merit, was eliminated in the second round of the world championship. it was the seeded englishman's first match of the pdc wc - and also his last.
the outsider from holland, Kevon Doets, won 6:4 in the fifth set and celebrated one of the biggest successes of his career!

This match was the reason why I love darts. After 1st set it looked that Doets don't stand a chance against Smith, but rest of match was different story. 5 set with a tie-break was epic. It's enough to see what averages both players had. Huge disappointment for Smith and biggest career win for Doets.

Darts is very affordable that everyone can play and you don't need huge stadium for, what makes this sport very popular. Next game for Nebrida against 19th ranked Ross Smith - can he make another upset. Will see on Sunday.
BTW, there isanother guy from Philippines - Sandro Eric Sosing, he had to play today, but he withdraw from tournament. No idea what happened.

That is true, and you know that we played darts in the streets till the wee hours in the morning?

And up to now and every summer here, we have competitions and the last time our team won was like pre-pandemic. But that was a long time ago and some of my mates haven't had practice but we have to get back again this year.

Too bad that Sosing has to withdraw. Nebrida upon checking is the top 3 player in the country, so there's no surprised that he has the experienced to pull such big upset. His next game is tomorrow so let's see if he continues his giant run in this tournament.

Watched yesterday how Gerwyn Price won his game against Barry in very dominant way. And he didn't even played perfectly, but his opponent failed to use opportunities that Price gave him.
Unfortunately my countrymen Labanauskas got eliminated already by Ryan Joyce. Expected, but pity as there was chances to fight. But when you lose your own throws, it's difficult to think about win. Now I can only remember good times few years ago when Labanauskas reached 1/4 final and was close from beating van Gerven...
Now waiting to see Peter Wright playing. Put some money on his win tonight, not bad odds.

The first (big) surprise is there with De Decker that lost his match against Woodhouse. De Decker was in good form the last couple of months but unrecognizable this afternoon so he is already out. Also Huybrechts is already out so not a good start for the Belgium dart players.

Interesting championship tournament. Who would have thought that a regular recreational game would be a competitive sport. I have set a notification for the 15th when the game begins. Although I will not be placing any bets since it is my first time watching the game, I'll just follow up for next time. I don't know how many times the championship holds in a year, these are the types of things I'll like to know of before choosing to make bets.

World Championship is held every year in December, while other tournaments like Masters, Premier League is played all year long, similar like in tennis.
Tune it in, I'm sure you will like. While I wish one day to visit World Championship as spectator. There such great atmosphere and vibe, people have great time watching it with some cold beer and snacks

.

I always like to watch it on TV and would also like to see it live as it is just fun. Everybody is mainly singing, shouting, dancing, drinking beers and just having a good time. will be an interesting tournament and it will be interesting to see how far Mike De Decker can get as he really broke through this year; Littler and Humphries are the big favorites for the title.

It's that wonderful time of year - Christmas is approaching and it means that's time for main event of darts season.
Can't say that I followed darts very closely throughout the season, but seems that Littler and Humphries is main favorites, bookmakers don't give much chances for olderb generation like Van Gerven, Smith, Price and etc, all of them give above 10 odds.
It's amazing how Littler out of nowhere become one of best darts player in world just in one year.
