Darts fans who have supported the game for years are being rewarded with an epic player who makes EVERYONE raise their games. BRILLIANT fans showing how it shouid be done.
Most fans and players I know from the last 30 years stopped watching darts. Boards are too easy to play on, fans are mostly clueless football fans and in general its all just a money making thing now. Long gone are the good old days of darts.
@@welshwoody217old darts players are nowhere near the level of today, the whole sport has gone up a level in the last 10-20 years, how can that not be exciting to watch??
@@morganking4166 wrong. Go and look at the darts they used back in the day, the width of the wires and the fact they were round and held in with staples. I wouldn't expect you youngens to understand as you all think you know everything without even experiencing it.
He’s 17 and he literally has the mental toughness and approach of a seasoned veteran already. Hats off to the lad. Absolutely love watching him. He’s given the sport the spark it needed and believe me, his journey is far from over
I guess he will have to loose some weight, mostly because of his bending-in throwing style, if he wants to avoid back problems. And overall health of course.

@@Roobadoon And look at the top players now. They're not unfit anymore, at least few of them. Guess it's a big factor, that for example Cool Hand Luke improved so much. Gezzy, Joe Cullen etc.
How Pikachu thought he was going to come out of that exchange looking like the good guy is beyond me. You got beat by a better player, mate. Take your beating and move along like everyone else.
@@James-h9lfor me 160 is the 'easiest' of the 2 treble finishes. Most players best treble is t20 and a lot of players also have the d20 in their top3 doubles, I'd say at a level you start hitting occasional 180s you mostly train double 20/16/12/10/8/Bull/5/4 - at least I do. and I'd say 160 is only a tiny bit harder than 180, while 141 with switching target 2 times is one of the hardest 2 treble finishes were no Bullseye is needed.
It’s impressive how he’s pushed on since the world championship and backed up his talent, he’s actually living up to the hype around him and showing he’s more than just a kid who hit a run of form for two weeks in December/January.
Three nine darters so far this year and it's only March, some players don't even perform three nine darters in their career, this young lad is phenomenal, for sure a future world champion
This is the best ever thing in darts for me, a new star who is amazing, who is not getting wound up by his opponents bad antics like Pikachu. Hope Luke wins lots this year, he is a great watch.
Let me take a moment to apologise in the name of German darts. That was totally inappropriate behaviour from Ricardo. He just came across as a sore loser. I understand the match meant a lot to him but he clearly wasn’t the better player - just shake his hand, say thanks and leave. It‘s not what the sport is about, but Luke took it well and he‘s shown class. All the best to him in the future👍
@@maxstorm486He Made a post on Instagram saying that he hopes, that Luke's arrogance haunts him Back. (I'm sorry for Potential mistakes, english isn't my native language)
My goodness what a class act this young man is. He is a joy to watch on and off the dart board. Can't wait to see what he does next and there truly isn't a thing he isn't capable of!!! ☢☢☢
What a mature young man to handle the stardom that’s become of him in such a dignified manner. An ambassador of the sport that will no doubt benefit both him and darts in general.
For those who criticise this lad clearly aren't darts fans he's been a breath of fresh air brining in new fans and making more kids Wana take up our beutifull sport don't judge the lad he's just doing what he loves appreciate it people
I'm new to darts,and i really can't understand why Pikachu was so angry...for me my opponent can close the match in the way he wants,really i can't understand...if pikachu was with De sousa with the triple double 20,how he would behave ?!?
Because you mention the whistling idiots: Ricardo is actually known for repeatedly arguing with these people and emphasizing that he doesn't want to win that way. He seems to have a very strong sense of justice - but the fact that he said something to Luke about his arrogance and later wrote something was really inappropriate. If Luke wants to take nonsensical checkout routes, that's to the advantage of his opponent. What Luke says in the video is also obvious nonsense - he hardly ever hits tops (the statistics show that) - of course it was about getting under Ricardo's skin - it's a shame that Ricardo fell for it. What Luke does is absolute nxt lvl sht from a sporting point of view. Unfortunately, so is his attitude ...
one thing many overlook is littlers 180's. he hit 30 during the tournament, but could of been more if not for the fact he drops to treble 19 on nine dart attempts.
so grown up , i love the way he just shrugs it off and he not the same as every over dart player he as his own way of finishing, i cant wait to see him do 150 finish 3 darts in the bullseye ,

So exciting to watch this lad grow as a player hes so good already and its insane he is gonna be very very hard to play never mind beat come 10 years time
You would think, as a national sports presenter, if you're going to do a segment involving a player, at least attempt to pronounce his name correctly. 'The German' is fine to use after you've mentioned his name the first time. But then it's Sky Sports, if it's not English, they don't care.
Can check out how ever you like. Go on Luke. I was at the Leicestershire vs Merseyside game. Just before your name was known by none dart fans. Didn’t have the balls to speak to you but patted you on the back as you walked passed after your game. Wish I’d have spoke to you now. Both united fans. Keep up the good work Luke
Ze German iz ze badz lozer, but credit Rob Cross he knew he had witnessed something very special and showed how to lose graciously. Great sportsmanship.👍🎯🔥💯.
I remember when Rod Harrington, who was the first I saw hitting tops tops, rubbing a few people up the wrong way but hey it’s 501 and no one ever said you can’t utilise everything on the board. RP may regret that outburst as it was unprofessional.
Pikachu is a great talent, but hey, does any DEFENDER in FOOTBALL say to a STRIKER at the end of a game, "How DARE YOU SCORE AN OVERHEAD KICK"? He's got a lot of growing up to do, but he'll learn, to a 17-year old
