Watch extended highlights here

[@dennisdeiig5613]

the first match I ever saw, i didn’t have any plan of darts, but since this day, i love darts

[@jaygreenfield2438]

Dennis Deißig same!!!

[@reverse_dns2043]

Same but 4 months ago

[@charliehaines7499]

Same but with peter wright v malidem in the 19/20 worlds

[@lazyworkaholic7011]

Raymond van Barneveld said this match gave him the believe to be able to beat MVG. And so he did later in the tournament.

[@WorldwideDarts]

Do you remember when this match was the most watched darting video on KZbin with about 23 million views? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[@julez2106]

Worldwide Darts What really? Was the video taken down? 👀

[@WorldwideDarts]

@@julez2106 Sky Sports issued a copyright strike and took it down.

[@TheForcepain]

Idiots at Sky Sports, a video like that introduces so many people to darts, hurting their own business.

[@tuginwho]

@@TheForcepain 100%. I liked playing darts before but didn't know how awesome pro darts is until the YT algorithm had one of its fuck ups and got that video millions of views. Without that video, I would've never gotten into following the pro scene and it quite literally changed my life

[@jordan4547]

Do you remember when you got arrested?

[@hughthompson4846]

Man has seriously lost weight since then, fair play!

[@zumizm1]

the balls on eidams to switch from d7 to 6 d4 great stuff

[@ThorHC11]

This match randomly popped up on my KZbin feed for no reason in late 2016. (Presumably around the 2017 worlds). I had never watched the PDC before, had no idea what it is. But I checked it out cause it looked interesting. Now I am obsessed.

[@Pct98]

Almost the biggest shock to ever happen. Would be good to see Eidams back in the mix some point

[@uff3625]

He barely average above 80 nowadays

[@wbafcjake7106]

@@uff3625 he's back in decent form now could soon see a return

[@robertpiesche1154]

Eidams nearly ended MVGs career by switching the double when MVG had 40 rest

[@julez2106]

Such a pitty Rene lost this, amazing match!

[@Gochsener]

as a german, I was so fckin hyped when I watched this live.

[@johnclark448]

Definitely one of the best matchs ive witnessed....the atmosphere was tremendous

[@example2844]

Truly a one hit wonder, an incredible challenge, but since then, we've hardly heard from Eidams

[@ErwinEhrenmann]

He's a commentator on german TV

[@quintus9931]

Dieses Spiel hat mich damals endgültig zum Darts-Fan gemacht. Hoffentlich kann sich Rene zukünftig mal wieder für ein paar größere Events qualifizieren.

[@Jojo-ri3fu]

Er braucht erstmal ne Tourcard um sich überhaupt für die Tour zu qualifizieren... Er ist weit weg von großen Turnieren leider. Er ist finde ich auch weit weg von den Tourcard

[@john37foldgaming]

MvG with class again at teh end. Mad respect for taht guy.

[@Brandon-qd2lb]

Would love to see some first or second round action from former world champs!!

[@marvintimmler]

Watched this live on TV, so dramatic!

[@thecatsarse6542]

Im glad that Micheal got through ad we all got to see that classic match with him and Raymond van Barnoldswick!

[@LukeGaming96]

Damn he's lost a lot of weight since then.

[@MelodicHxCDude]

Eidams finishing was incredible

[@TheForcepain]

Best match of all time!

Since this match , Eidams lost a lot of weight and play in Germany in the super league

[@julianfischer1907]

12:45 am i the only one hearing: „Michael you require 70“ ?

[@MsSTUHL]

To Bad Eidams can only Play good on the Big Stage. He struggles to much on the Floor. :( One of the greatest Matches ever!

Eidams has a lovely throw

Dart fans. Any tips for buying a good, long-lasting board? One80 vs Winmau vs Viper

Winmau Blade 5 Dual Core is one of my favorites

[@dr.emilschaffhausen4683]

Thank you! Seems like there are some defective units. Wonder if there are fakes or if they stay in a hot warehouse?

[@danielvandam]

More old matches!

[@Alejafega]

That viral KZbin introduced me into darts...

[@Quintendejong123]

Does anyone know where Eidams has gone?

[@marcschmidt157]

He now is a commentator for DAZN from time to time. But he still plays and tries to qualify I think

[@SonderSimme]

Yes, he plays Challenge Tour.

[@dennis4500]

He has got his own shop www.cubedarts.de

[@yungfootball7819]

Worst commentator ever

[@uff3625]

He unsuccessfully plays qualifying events in Germany and barely averages above 80... He still thinks he's the drizzling shit however

[@samcovington4328]

Stuart Pyke is brilliant he's like a excitable puppy

[@saltynutz5347]

@@edwardhayes5837 Plus Taylor in his prime was beating players who were averaging 80+. Where as MVG was beating players who are averaging over 100. That's the difference. No good being in your prime if you got no competition. MVG is the GOAT. I have never seen a player like him before. Taylor is second though so that's not too bad lol
