Props to the editor, who rightly thought Muramatsu's 170 checkout was worth a second look.

[@GrassLogic]

Lol, for a minute I thought he hit two

[@TedBarton91]

He set it up with a 136 too, epic play

Error on PDC side, it was the same leg shown twice as the score was the same. 2-1 Wright.

Abdulla Saeed a man after my own heart, following up a 180 with a 9! 😂 Massive adrenaline dump on the maximum. Ive done it far too often, just without the stage and the crowd 😂

[@lordvadertheleftie9703]

I finished a 132 the other day. Next leg I followed it up with a 5. All on the wire of 1's 😂. Bloody darts

Luke Littler had some amazing checkouts today. Fair play to Muramatsu as well for his 170 finish.

[@nabilshafec7169]

That’s what I noticed the most, throwing well but his check outs were a joke

[@kansmansen8609]

The difference between good and great players is being able to checkout and this tournament is a brilliant example of that. All the favorites won, but many of the matches were really close. The"good" players not being able to checkout when it matters is why none of them won.

[@tostrmofo6686]

@@kansmansen8609 I can also see this on a way lower level. On a good day I maybe average 65 and I'm playing just for fun with my friends. We all average about the same while they are scoring much better and missing 7-10 darts on the double, while I usually need 4 at most. I don't know why, but for me hitting doubles comes kind of natuarally while the T20 doesn't want to be my friend. 26 and 41 love me of course ;)

[@kaleem9652]

170 checkout was so good they had to show that twice

[@J10Wilshere]

When Luke Littler checked his watch after finally hitting the double absolutely cracked me up 😂

Looks like he learn play darts someone´s summer cabin here in Finland. We have slightly different boards and darts,but he´s style are most identifiable.😀

[@kanthony9154]

I think I could give him a run for his money, bare in mind I bought a board a week ago😂

[@GISALEGENDYT]

Genuinely unlucky from Ilagan, Nebrida and Muramatsu, could have been a few shocks, but a fun opening night.

[@RenanteRuiz-r9s]

Asians are progressing fast, maybe a champion in the near future

[@JosePio272]

Sayang ang laro ni Nebrida, ganyan din ang nangyayare sa World Championship, hindi nya matamaan ang double 💯

[@DLK92]

As a dutch/filipino guy. I am happy to see more Filipino players!

[@cactuarnoob100]

Abdulnasser Yusuf at least won a leg for Bahrain last year. But sheesh for the qualifiers for Bahrain having to face off against the number 1 and 2 in the world Respectively is such a steep curve to start a dart career.

[@LukasHelmhart]

The secong guys throw was incredible😂 i play in a hobby league in austria with my buddies where we play 301 open out, just for fun. And there is at least one guy of each team who throws like him😅

Bloody hell they’re slow ain’t they 😂

[@spudhandle]

26:00 a 180 followed by a 9 by Saeed of Bahrain. The Phillpine players made a good run.

[@MarkieBee]

Respect to the phl players!

[@violentvowelz9920]

The players representing the asain tour did not disappoint. Really competitive matches!

[@mikeherman]

Michael Smith got lucky. Philippine players came out strong. Love watching what the "no names" can do!

[@lordvadertheleftie9703]

Bully Boy got very lucky there. Since he won it he's never really been able to throw consistent darts

[@Hedonistik_Ritual]

The general level of world darts has got better and better over recent years. Good standard from these guys.

[@jonas-nn2mt]

Good Level from the Contenders! Almost caused an upset

[@juliantsenkov1585]

Especially Abdulla Saeed 😂😂😂😂😂 All jokes aside it was nice to see his enjoyment after his 180.

[@adamcalder294]

Hasan has such an admirable throw. I am going to attempt to replicate it. 55 average here I come!

[@Maffchops]

I think "unorthodox" is one word to use to describe it

[@NicolaiAwesome]

It’s more like a “chuck” than a throw. Zero follow through. Arm all over the place. He’s lucky they go anywhere near where he’s aiming.

[@zmattchiasson]

I'm sure he's thrown some good games now and then, but there's no way he's consistent. Completely garbage technique and deserves to be ridiculed.

[@sarahwelty9223]

Very peculiar throw there's no follow through I'm surprised that he even managed to get a dart in the board throwing like that 😂

[@thadonis.]

29:58 Hasan Haji throws like the Bullseye contestent that isn't the dart player.

[@michaellynn9763]

Holy shit man! Haji's throw, as hilarious as it is, is wild as hell, potentially even dangerous!!

[@lordvadertheleftie9703]

I don't even understand the physics of it, how does he have any control?

[@michaellynn9763]

Yeah I don't either! I mean he could probably stil whop all of our asses, but a bit like Joe Cullen (similar but less pronounced right hander), he must simply have excellent muscle memory instead of being a conscious aimer.@@lordvadertheleftie9703

Highlight: Abdulla hitting a 180 then hitting 9 next throw.One extreme to the other.The Filipino players have improved a lot & should of taken two victories.
