A 9 darter and first title. This guy is going to go far. Nothing phased him at all. The decision for the Premier League was totally correct.
He's the real deal, could become an all time great
Don’t forget the 170 checkout as well
I’m probably in quite a small minority, but I don’t think he should be in the Premier League.
You may be the only one in that minority@@andrewmay1299
@@andrewmay1299 even after today?
He celebrated the 9 darter more than winning the tournament lol. Elite athletes and sports people should take some notes on this kid. Crazy mental strength.
Seriously, he always looks so calm like he’s done it all before.
@@SmorkattBecause he has in his bedroom it's just he had that ability to be ability to play the exact same way on front of the crowd and millions of people watching on TV which is incredible
I’m a fan of all sports, but let’s get honest.. this is unheard of. Literally beat 3 of top world 5 checked out a 170 after a max, and the obv 9 darter in the first leg. It’s a pleasure to witness and we will all look back on this in 20yrs and still be amazed. History in the making. 9 darter in the opening leg, unreal! Aspinall was a gent, less to be said with Price and Gerwen who couldn’t even look the ‘Kid’ in the eye.
Kids always have better mental strength, life hasn’t knocked the hope out of them yet 😂
Seriously, it’s why they say they have no fear
Pal "Blade" Szekely, Hungarian Darts Pro (usually 60-65AVG, 80 max out) said, that he could teach Littler To Play Darts. He looks like a Protkokany
I think Humphries said it best when he told Littler after beating him in the World Final, "I'm glad I got to win it while I can because you're about to dominate world darts."
Littler is going to be the most exciting thing to happen to darts.
I hope he stays grounded.
@@tomtrana3449 I hope so too
He already is
@@Jason-ti9wd Yes! ... Littler has done ONE tournament post-breakthrough:
9-darter, check, 170, check, 180-170 in 6 darts, check, win the tournament, CHECK!
I mean ... holy motocycle is that one way of setting the bar high!
He should have won the title. But he didn’t 😢
Beating aspinall, price and mvg, with adding in a 9 darter and a 170 finish all in the same night, is just absolutely insane, Luke Littler what a talent, unbelievable
Phil Taylor who? Luke will break every record going. His 1st tournament 9 darter and won it.. 😂😂 literally a joke
@@faroukmeah8165 taylors averages were better than anyone today over years not one season
@ChrisThornburn-ke5xk we talking about a 16yr old not Phil. I'm stating he will beat all records including stokie phils
@@faroukmeah8165 whenhe vanishes due to playing to many tournaments what will you say then mvg etc are all burning out
It’s crazy just how talented Luke Littler is. This is only going to grow the sport of darts yet further. What a lad.
Darts is a game not a sport.
@@Participant616it’s a sport 👍🏻
@@Participant616Don't know what you have to gain by shovelling this turd of an opinion around but it's a sport whether you agree or not
@@Participant616you might want to get a dictionary, lad.
@@Participant616😂😂😂😂 oh, you was serious. In that case 😂😂😂😂
Brilliant Littler. Good on Nathan's reaction to the 9 darter. Great.
The mental strength from Luke is the most impressive, he fears no-one and clearly has the ability to beat anyone, really awesome to watch!!! He's a breath of fresh air, got me back watching darts again!!
Me too, and my young son is obsessed because of him.
It doesn't matter what people say about Lukes age, i'm so damn impressed!
The comments on his age are not relevant at all. I mean, even if he was 30 or 40, he does a great job and that is what it's all about.
Отличный дартсмен!!! Он бог мишени!!! Он скоро решит проблему с лишним весом!
@@user-qw5nj2xx3f Amen
Okay but what do you want to say?
Pal "Blade" Szekely, Hungarian Darts Pro (usually 60-65AVG, 80 max out) said, that he could teach Littler To Play Darts. He looks like a Protkokany
Gotta love Asp he’s such a good guy
Okay? And now? 😂
@@zuiplap040I'd like to see you play as well as him 😂😂😂😂
Fair play, how class was Nathan Aspinall when Littler hit that 9 darter? Total respect as he was a real genuine human in that moment.
Littler truly is something else, 16 years old and just wiping the floor with the world's best players incredible. You could just tell MvG didn't want to be there at the presentation at the end, he must have felt helpless and humiliated losing to a 16 year old when he was supposed to be the next Phil Taylor
I'm running out of words to describe him, I've always enjoyed darts casually but because of this phenom I'm truly hooked on the sport and I'm sure I'm not the only one. With the right nurturing of his talent this kid will be unstoppable. Love to see it, so proud for him
@@TheIanoTubeyour not the only one. It’s got people watching darts around the world. There was no question he wasn’t going to be in the premier league this year. The viewing figures he will bring in are huge. Luke is an amazing player. He is going from strength to strength…
@@TheIanoTube he didnt win the worlds he was put in his place
@@ChrisThornburn-ke5xkHe'll achieve far more in his life than you will bud
@@ChrisThornburn-ke5xk I swear he missed 1 dart that would've taken it to the wire on his first attempt. Stop hating
Littler has a massive advantage over all the current PDC players, he's not frightened by mvg . . . or anyone
That's Brits for you...not pansy arsed Dutch🤣
Good old johnny clayton doesn't fear mvg either 😂
I don't think anyone is frightened of MVG nowadays. He hasn't been world champion or world number 1 for a long time now.
@@willywhonka Cringe, 90% will lose to mvg and are still scared of him
Littler is the new rising star, cool, calm and collected. Mvg hasn’t won any major title for a long time and he is not a threat to most of the PDC players.
From any discussion to now, Luke Llittler in the premier league has already become the nr 1 reason to buy a ticket. That's how crazy this is.
Its just incredible, 16 years old and taking it to the big boys. You could see in MVG he was not impressed, move over MVG there's a new kid on the block!
I thinl MVG is in a carrer-changing moment. Littler is pretty muh the same as MVG was like 10 years ago, but even younger and better. Of course he didn't reach peak MVG level yet, but Van Gerwen was probably thinking about himself as the biggest talent ever, the original wonderkid, the machine, and after Littler's breakthrough he just has to change mentally. I mean, 85 average... he was definitely scared.
@@darthrevan6861back in the world championships MVG was saying "I was better than this kid at his age" but like... he clearly wasn't lmao
@@jjpswfc Yeah he could tell it to himself at that point, but now that he's a WC finalist and a tournament winner he just can't lie to himself anymore.
I really hope he won't crumble though, he's my favourite player lmao
Littler is everything MVG wished he was and you could see the jealousy in his face in the presentation at the end
MVG doesn't like losing but ask any of the top players, including Littler, what they think if him, and you'll hear more respect and admiration than you read in posts like yours. Maybe it's you who are jealous?
first title, 9 darter and a big fish check out, pure class Littler
MVG's runner up trophy was so short he could use it as a hairpiece.
😂
Lol
Be interesting to see what kind of smack he talks later on.
@@tnsharpshooter8517He looked completely shell shocked and pissed off at the presentation all he could say was ill get him back Littler didn't even react what a guy
LMAO, The guy that laughed at Rob's first shot hitting a 4 😂 16:39
Nice to see Russ Bray enjoying his retirement.
?
He is not retired though so what is your point?
thought he went part time
He’s retired from all major events still does smaller ones like masters and youths
He’s gonna dominate for years isn’t he. What a bloke 🤩
Yeah indeed as u said, he isnt gonna dominate
huh?
@@zuiplap040do you mean he will dominant darts
Aspinall was so classy the way he reacted. Class act from him. But Luke is the once in a generation talent. Ice in his veins. He will dominate the way Taylor did for years to come
We are witnessing something truly special here. I don't think it's hyperbole to say this kid is the next Phil Taylor. He's the real deal, and he'll be breaking a lot of records over the years.
To be at the very top level of darts for a long time, that takes tremendous effort, discipline and sacrifice. The most naturally talented players don't manage to stay on top for a long time. So it's hard to say of we have a new dominant force in Luke (no pun intended), but he is definitely exciting to watch and seems totally at ease out there.
@@Robkinggozerautist.
This has been said about many players before, he's good but he may drop after a while, remember adrian lewis?
to be next taylor he has to be number 1 for years
Littler is more intimidating because he's so young. MVG felt it.
mvgs standard has dropped he wouldnt have won worlds playing like he is now like bdo
It's scary to think he may not even be anywhere near his absolute best yet! Going to be breaking some records over the years I think 👍
Great reaction from the ASP 👏
Aspinal is a top sportsman in winning and defeat
He is the Tiger Woods equivalent to dart’s unbelievable lad!!! can’t wait to see him in NYC!! I’ll bring the kids!!!!
He's going to crash his car and become a sex addict
Tiger Woods is the Phil Taylor of golf
Van Gerven is really jealous of this kid. His hype and time is over. There is a new king in this sport
He was happier about the 9 darter than winning the title.
He must have thought meh, I've been in the wc final already, this is small fries but I'll take it.
9 darter is the holy grail for all pros once you've got one nobody can take it away. Whereas I can safely say 20k and an invitational tournament win will be forgotten amongst all the titles and money that boy has coming to him.
Every now and then, a sporting phenomenon comes along. Luke Littler is to darts what Lionel Messi was to football when he broke in. Absolutely spellbinding talent.
Yeah okay, difference is that football is actually a sport and entertaining, darts is for obese losers
and just as athletic too
Lmao comparing a pub sport to Messi
@@kevin-lb9in Wow, kicking a fucking ball over some fucking grass.
@@zuiplap040 It can’t be your moms not playing
Luke littler made me go out and buy a dartboard got my first 180 after 8 days playing.
Really 😂
@user-ii4sk3zy6b yeah lol. Started watching games now too 🤣 nou addicted to buying darts
The reaction on gerwyn price and MVG face when shaking his hand. They know this kid is going to be a major problem for them in the future. Exceptional talent. Godspeed to him ❤️
Is anyone else just sat chuckling 😂 its unbelievable 🎉
I am so proud of my cousin, the family is so overwhelmed with amazement on what he already has achieved and what he is achieving now ❤ may it continue and may the force be with you Luke...sorry couldn't help that 🤭 BOOOOOOOOM 🎯💥🎯💥🎯💥🎯💥🎯💥
I loved the way Aspenall reacted to Luke hitting the 9 darter.
You can tell that MVG is not happy with how littler has become the center off attention for the PDC .
Yeah definitely 😂
I would not be either.
Tough draw from the quarters onwards = WOW!!!
Congrats young Man.
Luke ain't so little anymore.
Amazing and a nine darter to cap it off.
Cheers from Australia.
The darts r back and if this is a sign of things to come then we’re in for a hell of a lot of excitement not just because of the standard that we’re getting treated to but Luke Littler is just the most amazing wonder kid, a special special talent and the best thing to happen to darts and he’s here to stay for a very very long time. His last few weeks as a 16 year old, he’s played 2 PDC events and he’s got runner up in the biggest tournament in the sport and then champion in his first ever World Series event. I don’t know what to say except he’s the most stunning story in sports atm.
The standard today was excellent and the matches just seemed like they got better and better. Humphries brilliant winning run came to an end. Luke Littler hitting a perfect leg, becoming the youngest player to ever do so on the tour. An unreal match between MVG and Cross . Then in the semis Littler with a brilliant display hitting the big fish along the way to beating Price and then a very good match between the 2 Michaels where it seemed like MVG was always on top but couldn’t pull away because of missed darts at doubles but when it mattered most when he had to hit the 110 he did it and in the final Littler showed no sign of nerves and even though MVG didn’t replicate his earlier performances, Littler was brilliant and he was there to punish MVG and deservedly won the title. Can’t wait to see these 8 in the Premier League for the next few months and if Littler is playing like this, the rest of the players will need to up their game coz a teenager is making the sport look like a joke right now.
For me these players changed darts and I’ve been watching it since the late 70’s. Eric Bristow, Phil Taylor, Raymond Van Barneveld, MVG and now Luke Littler!
Your forgetting John lowe
Thought I was tripping when they replayed the end of 10th leg with smith and van Gerwen
Got me too. Just took Night Nurse for the first time as well.
The premier league decision was correct for the nuke! If he can beat mvg under that pressure then he can do anything
Imagine its Luke vs MVG in The Netherlands, Luke vs Price in Wales or Luke vs Wright in Scotland, that's where the questions will be answered
@@zinzancful even the Welsh don't like price so don't think that's relevant
@@mylesdean7416 I think it's relevant. He's loved when he plays there
After the worlds I knew it wouldn’t be long before he hit the perfect 9. But wow what a tournament he’s had here. A perfect 9, the big fish & he beat MVG - superbly done & he’s entertaining to watch.
mvg is a shadow of the player he was few years ago his double states are pub figures
Proved he is not a one hit wonder - WOW this kid is going to rack up the titles - Best of luck for the future 👍
Trebles for show, doubles for dough. Way to go Luke. No fear at that age. Brilliant.
God what a talent and so humble with the right amount of bottle
Littler has done ONE tournament post-breakthrough:
- 9-darter, check, 170, check, 180-170 in 6 darts, check, win the tournament, CHECK!
Jeeeeeeezus christ this guy is GOOD!
I'm not a follower md darts, but came to this video because I'd read about Littler's heroics in the World Championships. I'm proof that this talented lad (although he doesn't look 16 to me) DOES bring new people to the sport. And to add, I think darts has a gripping and exciting format. There's little hanging around that you get in other sports. These guys go toe to toe with each other at incredible speed. I'm a new fan of darts as a result.
The kid is going to dominate world darts. For a while it looked like he couldn't miss double top.
Young Luke is a fine role model for today's youths. Peace, love and respect young man.
This had made darts move up another level for the future
This kid is something special, he is going to be a living legend.
Humphries looked tentative with his darts, and MVG looks like a shell of his former dominance. It’s Littler time!
This guy makes me smile same way as watching Shaq
Shaq was shit at basketball though 😂
@@user-ii4sk3zy6b he was one of the best what planet are you on
Love the Asp. Proper bloke and a great sport.
this has to be one of the best highlights package
I predict that this kid has got a bright future
He has visibly put on weight since the last tournament. A young man like him needs to get that under control before it's too late .
That humphries vs price ending... jeesh. Half expected the reff to call just throw closest to bull at the end 🤣
Crazy brilliant player. The elephant in the room though .... Look at the .size of his waist line ... Now imagine what that's going to be like in 5-10 years? He is on course to be 25-30 stone & then he won't be able to move let alone play darts. Lets hope he sorts that out!
He is unreal! Never been bothered about darts at all but this young man is peaking my interest daily ❤
Congratulations Luke 👏
So please for you 💓👏💓
So delighted to be alive
to see a great match 👌
Congratulations to the Champion🏆It's going to be a great year for Darts🎯 👍
Luke Littler might be the best thing to happen to any sport EVER!
Calm down calm down 😂
Top top player such a lovely young man deserves all that's coming to him 👏
he’s just so so exciting for the sport. Seems like everyone is watching it at the moment
9 darter , 170 checkouts , beating 2 former world champions on the way to the title . Anyone who says this kid is just hype are talking utter shat .
Just a hype, one season wonder!
@@zuiplap040 Lol , silly goose.
@@zuiplap040 Yes , because he's only been playing this year and won nothing else 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Just a lucky start
Van Gerwen saying he was better when he was 16 years old was a big mistake
The best Tournament. Luke has set a whole new standard amongst the seasoned professionals. Happy 2024
So happy for Russ bray to call a 9 before retires legends on that stage
That little red dot got a good hammering tonight! Well done on the finishing boys.
Humphries- "I only want majors"
Hankey- "I only want minors"
😂
😂
😂😂😂
Fuck sake man😂😂😂
Who's in charge here, Ted or the devil?
By the way, Darren Aronofsky should make a movie about Ted Hankey and darts culture in general back then at Frimley Green and all.
His talent is clear to see , what impresses me more is his temperament and bottle , it's going to make lots practice harder too
Was last interested in darts back when Phil Taylor was at his peak. This kid is something else! Great on him and great for darts 🎯
16 years old. Ridiculous achievements already!
Unreal. What a time to be a darts fan 🎉
Fair play to asp, gent as usual
What a line up...
What a win...
What a Player...is Luke Littler!!!
Congratulation Bahrain Darts Masters Champion for 2024.
You can see, what relentless pressure does to his opponents. Yes I know, if Michael hit that double 5...
Great to see the future of this great game = Luke Littler.
The pressure he put on Gezzy, was amazing...that 170 in the 6th leg.
Cheers.
I remember a tweet (in italian) during the last world championships, and I quote: "With his recklessness, Littler is the only one that can beat MvG."
This is not Ally Pally, but the twitter user stand now corrected.
Its all mental from MVG lately where he was a machine he now deals with some phantoms. Good to see a new talent on the block
He was already a champion with his attitude. Amazing kid! I have a new fav after Phil.
Aspinall such a sporting young man.
Is anyone else rgetting some weird satisfaction of the 'ping'of the Darts at this event? It's a very clear, crisp sound. Odd, but I like it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
the bloke is unreal nine darter and a first title, the future!!
John Macdonald; ladies and gentlemen, Ladies and Gentlemen, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! 😂
Wow. What a wizard! I just love his style.
You know Taylor is sat at home grinning and chuckling at what everyone else has to do to beat his records, there is so much competition out there, who knows what Littler can do in the future, maybe this is the just the start, MVG has it all to do.
What an amazing talent
i’m just a casual darts fan, like to keep an eye on it but i don’t watch it religiously.. Luke has made me extremely interested in it as i’m sure he has a lot of other people, hopefully a lot of the younger generation because his darts are absolutely amazing to watch. so happy for the guy! what an incredible time it is for professional darts!! bravo Mr Littler 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thoroughly deserved that win!
What a player he will become! Great for the game
Bravo Luke !! Got what it takes. Well played sir.
A 9 darter and a first title. Luke Littler is taking the world by storm right now!!!
This kid is better than most of the top 16 pro's in the game.
Wow… and to beat MVG in the final too… what a player!
Unbelievable talent this lad ...
Incredible, what a star.
Is mvg after changing his throw slightly? Looks a bit different
I thought the same mvg didn't look comfortable with his throw at all
@@IML4NC3 He never does when he's under pressure .
The bubble will burst, it'll burst lads. Hold on..........
He'll have Darts all sewn up by the time he is 18 and he will move on to Snooker.
O’Sullivan watch out! 😂
Crazy stuff, super impressive. Only thing that could stop thid kid is himself. Let's hope he keeps his head on straight.
Looks like he's going to have a great career
far and away the best darting talent of our generation
