Its great another darts tourney is back, my favorite match was Wright against Doets. Been a fan of Wright for years and he actually won me like 30quid on Stake because I did hope he would win this match but it was closer than I expected 😁
how many years has this wright guy played haha? I feel like i have seen him for ages xD
@@HockeyMan666 a little over 30 years
Try not to spend it all at once mukka 😉 only messing FairPlay to ya
bot
At the pro level, two legs to win a set is INSANITY!!!
???
Agree, should be best of 5 legs per set!
@@andyrigby5010 disagree, then it's just like the world championships, upsets are more likely best of 3.
New to darts, why aren't the number of legs per set standardized through all tournaments? Especially if they're all by the same organization?
@@mfbrandy8569Just to make each tournament a bit more unique.
Love to see Big Willie back in the mix! Great darts despite the loss!
Pervert.
Very lucky to be here tonight absolutely loved it 👍
What a 151 finish from the magpie and to take rob cross out in Milton Keynes well done William mate 🧡🤍💚👏🎯
Good he won and played well ^
I love that there’s a lot more at stake in this tournament now. New format, and the prelims to make it a lot more open, brilliant. And there were some cracking darts tonight. The next games have got a lot to follow here. 🙂
Great matches. Doets and Wright was a great clash
Michael Smith giving his darts a good telling off. You tell em mate, you tell ‘em.
😂😂😂😂
I absolutely love the classic format for the world masters.
Need more Borland in tournaments. Very fun player
Bad teeth though🤣
thanks for the astonishing highlights once again. even if you upload it an hour after my local channel I'm ready to wait for it.
lmao its been 4 mins
@ I know mate ofc I didn't finish the video but the length of 48mins compared to 15mins is enough
Im watching it days later, but managed to dodge all the spoilers so far :D
Haven't seen Borland since that epic 9 darter agains Brooks at the worlds a few years back. I was excited to see they were both in this tournament. Boo Stephen, party pooper.
Not nice seeing Michael Smith in pain with his throwing hand there. Hope he manages to find a way to some good form cos he's a great player
Not the same without Wayne, hope he's doing ok
What's up with Wayne?
@@HeavenlyHouse He suffered the terrible loss of his wife.
Stay strong Wayne x
Wayne doesn’t work for itv mate
Wayne works for SKY regardless.
Everyone forgets about Steven bunting hes always there but never talked about bloody amazing class quality player
Wright vs Doets was match of the day no doubt
Peter Wright the old guy with a mohawk haircut colorful
I love the new format, keeps the players concentrated for every leg
Isn't it just best of 11 legs basically? They play those all the time. Just a short match either way.
@silverreverence6176 it's actually the original format from back in the day
COME ON PETER
And Price at the moment is really strong like 2021
AND IT'S BORLAND
BORLAND
Where his teeth gone
Finally my bro Heta beating Smith!
15:42 Rob Cross did the thing just like the 2018 world championship final
And lost 😂😂
With the amount of people here moaning about the best-of-3 sets, I think I finally understand Matt Porter when he's insinuating that they can't afford to try different formats because casual darts fan is too dumb to understand anything apart from 501 double-out.
You are so right and it is just soo sad. Darts has so many great fun formats. Of course tournaments like the WC or the Matchplay should stick to their formats. But why not bring a little bit of fun and variations to the smaller TV tournaments? People just hate new things for no valid reasons
@@Brownie1904 No, best of 3 in a set is just stupid. It completely takes away the strength of the set format (coming back from 2-0 obviously).
@@kiekiek nothing stupid about it, it brings more interest to the set play, keeps tension during the game and makes players work for every leg on the match in order not to fall behind very fast. And it is a historical format for the World Masters, some kind of legacy which makes a game of darts much more interesting
@@ivanchornyi I think you are correct. I dismissed it too soon. 👍
Bunting had no right to win against Borland at 2-0, but what an amazing comeback from the Bullet.
Maximum of 9 legs in this format.
Euro tour max of 11.
This is cut throat darts.
You best be on it from the start.
Expect lots of surprises.
Maximum of 9 legs? Might want to watch a few of last nights games again…
5 x 3 = 15, not 9
Preliminaries was max of 9, first to 2 sets.
With 3 sets it goes to max 15.
yeah these are short games, a lot is possible here
This format seems lethal 😊
I think this is a stupid format, 2 legs win a set ,1st to 3, its crap
You’d rather first to 6 legs like every other tournament. You’re the type of man to make love to the same women for your whole life and trick yourself that you’re happy
It's a change from the norm. Bit of excitement. Look at bunting n borland game
Yeah yeah, best of 5 legs per set would be best
Was first to six , with sets it's more exciting. Should be three legs per set
Yup it’s a daft format
Willie Borland is going to start competing with the big boys soon I reckon, he’s still young.
The new Winmau World Masters🎯Set play and more matches 👌
I am absolutely loving it!!!
beautyful 4j quality
Why is Kevin Doets sporting the Callan Rydz Hairstyle ?
Definitely approve of the PDC adopting/continuing the old Winmau World Masters name and format. Always felt the PDC's previous version of the Masters was indistinguishable from most of the other tournaments they do, which made it feel rather pointless.
Wattimenna so gracious in defeat as usual 😂😂
jim bean > Second best is no good 🥲
Cullens' throwing style isn't gonna get him anywhere in today's levels of darts. He's like one of those podcasters having a go for followers.
Poor take.
@@BannanaBlueTrue though
@AlanBrown-d8w It really isn't. Despite his unique throw, he still consistently averages anywhere from 90 onwards. He's had darts at doubles to beat top players in the final stages of tournaments and, unfortunately, just couldn't get it.
@@BannanaBlue Exactly
Noppert might be due for a switch to the corner of D8 and D16, he seems to be able to hit them pretty well for someone who seldomly goes that route, expected him to go 5 D10 on the 25.
he prefers D8 to D10, e.g. when on 70, he goes T18-D8 though he is a D20 player and logically he should go T10-D20
Man Willie Borland played some great stuff, could have won if he had the darts in the decider. Weird format but great matches all around!
Wattimena sure is popular. Rock didn't even look at him for the handshake.
@@HeavenlyHouse I saw that. They got beef?
Jermaine is known to be a sore loser, so when he didn't see him approaching him he did the smart thing and shake the referees hands first
I noticed that ..Wattamina is a top class player seen recent times and Rock guy had to be on form to win .
Lekker Danny!
Let's play daaaarts again ❤❤
I haven't seen the winmau world masters for years since 2013
Price very hard player 😮
Yes Gezzy!!!...🏴🎯🎯🎯😍
Noppert and Smith i didnt mind for either eh them two guys winning as both just play the game , and win or lose just get on with it with no big fist bumps or over the top jumping for joy . After all its only a game
--> 3 times bullseyes me >boom boom boom 🎯🎯🎯👍
Doets with a Rydz "starter kit" hair-do 🤣
Sadly he hasn’t got the hairline to rock it
@@naiche.
Rock it 🤣🤣👍
He's on one too.. 😅
Shoutout to Foster's for sponsoring.
I got my XAI308K wallet setup and got in for $7500. Great video 🔥🔥
Why the hell are there only two legs to a set now?
@@jayb3154 if it was best of 5 legs it would be too long for an Itv event
It´s only this tourney . Too switch things up .
The winmau masters has always been this way, it's just that they didn't run the tournament for a few years.
The Winmau world masters has always been that way. I really like the format and it’s good that the PDC is using this classic format.
Do you remember that the Winmau darts masters started way back in 1974 and that was a long time ago isn't it.
Wattimena is a miserable xyz
15:46 38:22
48:08
0:01
Mark wedster 6 darts from here for cross before willie steps up and checks out nice 1
When my one dollar 5 leg parlay to win $11 hits - 42:52
16:11 *”NO SCORE.”*
Brilliant
I like Josh Rock going to Target but I can never unsee a pepperoni pizza on that shirt. It looks like food. Like a big batch of Mac and Cheese.
Big Willie gonna ben big wonen day.
How many times has Cullen played Humphries in the first round now? Feels like 5 in a row.
Whys Smith shaking everyones hand with his left? the bloody disrespect from this man
He has an injury with hand, nothing disrespectful about that.
@0Lamp13 fair enough mate I'm just playing the old boomer darts fan role here hahaha
@OddClancy You're doing a good job of it as well, your miserable clown.
Hope Borland wins something soon to sort those railings out
Bunting, peter comeback and 151 by magpie op😊🕊
Some of the comments here show who the real darts fans are and who the Gen Z darts fans are. 😂
Mason commentating my tvs on mute 🔇
Anyone noticed Rob Cross has magically stopped dropping darts🤔
Gerwin price is gonna win this tournament 😊
Don’t forget that the Lukes are there
The amount of tournaments premier leauge matches majors Pro tours and euro tours shat are just leg play can be bit boring this is mint to be sets Sets is more fun,, can swing so quick and you get so many deciding legs in sets makes it nail biting
Borland looks psychotic when he plays 🤣 very good player and enjoyable too watch. Cool nickname as well 😉
Would be good to see M Smith back on song.
How come only to legs per set
Shake your opponents hand first, then celebrate.
You guys need to show the full games with no edits
Err it does say highlights on the description..
Its on ITV4 if you want the full match
I don’t have ITV4 in Aus
@@joshstrong4756 it’s on kayo in aus isn’t it?
@@joshstrong4756 itvx also has it and that is a free (to us in the UK. Dont know about the rest of the world) streaming service.
How big are those trebles?!! Bristow, Lowe, Wilson, and others would have had a field day with that kind of board..
@JohnHarvey-e9l ?
Kirk "Kirkulator" Bevins is the microphone champion.
Yep the best right now.
Florian Hempel der Deutsche🎉❤
Rock doesn't appear to like Wattimena... awkward handshake... 5:58
I like to see that peter is able to win games again. Last year was really meh for me :/
AI and crypto are the future and XAI308K is the new center of it all
16:09 WHY???!!! JUST WHY WILLIAM???!!!
I think I saw Borland in a zombie movie…🤔😉☮️
Bloody hell Rocky’s new shirt is utterly terrible. And his waistline is going the way of Jermaine Wattamena.
Very true 😂
Bunting lucky man should of been out
Bunting always seems to just scrape through 😢
XRP, XAI308K and XLM kets go
Let's go Bunting Mental and pushed all the way. Sadly it looks like Michael Smith was throwing in pain.
2 legs is not a set it’s a pair .
I FIGURE OUT THIS OCHE is ABOUT: 44 inches WIDE & in cm : 112 cm + - WIDE ;)
Should have kept it with matchplay darts. This best of 3 legs, set play doesn't suit the game. Different with the world grand prix and world's because they are 1 week/3 week tournaments. Add the fact as well that this tournament used to be the top 16 in the world, then they made it the top 24 and now its a qualifying event with ranking points. Should have kept it like the snooker masters, a prestige event for the elite in the game.
Elon Musk is a legend. Guy drops a new crypto coin (XAI308K) when no one expected it. Can you do a video on a price prediction for it?
What’s that got to do with the darts ?
Everyone moaning about the format please kindly do one, or should we just have first to 6 legs in every tournament like it was before? 🙄
Why not ?
@AlanBrown-d8w because it's boring, the PDC are trying to change things up a bit and everyone just moans, it's tedious...
XAI308K to the moon 📈📈📈🌕
Big up the darts!🎯
Well done Kevin Hawkeye Doets to take out snakebite peter wright as well 👏👏👏👏👏🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
He lost ?
Oh sorry peter snakebite wright won didn't he.
Your other video mentioned XAI308K being the #1 investment this year. While i do agree can you provide insight on XRP and it's projections?
man these upload times, we gotta work tomorrow haha
honestly i'm really impressed. They're uploaded maybe an hour after the show is over every time, most sports don't manage that especially not highlights this extensive
What is going on with Bully Boy??? He hasn’t been the same since his Word Championship defeat.
He peaked at the right time…
@@Brandon-qd2lb Yeah, even in that wc Smith did not play very well (had a very easy route to the final) In the final his best still was not good enough against MvG in the first 5 sets. Then MvG just completely lost it at 3-2 in sets and 2-0 in legs for MvG (for me the craziest drop off I ever saw in more than 25 years of watching darts)... and Smith won.
shoulder injury
At least we're getting to buy XAI308K early before the general public hears it. Enjoy your millions 🙏
Yeah, because it's not a rug pull or anything is it?
Let's go XAI308K. With Elon Musk at the helm of this novel crypto project... i think the future is bright.
Lad looks like Littler's lost irish brotha lol
NOT LIKING THE 2 LEG SETS. ANYONE CAN BE A WINNER UNDER THIS FORMAT.
ANYONE CAN BE A WINNER UNDER ANY FORMAT. There's no such thing as a format that ensures the better player wins. The more legs required the less likely it is, but as you can see, the better players still win the matches the great majority of the time.
It's still B05 sets so at the minimum you have to win 6 legs(, guess how many you need to win in a first to 6 legs??? Are you gonna call the pro tours and euro tours unfair as well?
Smith heta game bobby george once said scores are show doubles for doe
✅XAI308K✅
Да уж,намудрили с правилами и с названием турнира!Видимо сначала хотели как обычно 3 лэга,3 сэта, но поняли что за 3 дня как раньше не уложатся!Сделали 2 лэга в одном сэте,и всё равно 4 дня получилось!Называться должен с пояснением World darts masters!Просто World masters это может быть и snooker!
