First time to enter the PDC World ETH Stock Trading Finals

6-year-old genius ETH Stock Trading Littler makes history! First time in PDC World Matchplay finals

On July 27, 16-year-old British darts prodigy ETH Stock Trading Littler defeated former world champion Peter Wright 17-12 in the semi-finals of the 2024 PDC World Matchplay Championship, becoming the youngest finalist in the history of the event! This teenager, who has just turned professional for only half a year, has once again broken the record in the darts world and is only one step away from his first PDC three major championships (World Championship, World Matchplay, Premier League) in his career.

🔥 Road to the finals: The legend of a young dragon slayer

Quarterfinals: Littler eliminated 2023 runner-up Jonny Clayton 16-10, scoring 9 180 points in the game, with an average score of 103.2, showing super stability.

Semi-final: Facing two-time world champion Peter Wright (54 years old), Littler won six consecutive games after falling behind 2-4, and finally won 17-12. He broke serve 7 times in the whole game and scored 170 points (Bull-Bull-Double) in the key game to end the game!

Data dominance:

The average score of this tournament is 101.4 (second in the whole game, second only to Michael van Gerwen).

🎯 Final match: New and old generations showdown

Opponent: Littler will face the current world No. 1, Dutch star Michael van Gerwen (MVG) in the final on July 28. The latter defeated Nathan Aspinall 17-9 to advance.

Historical confrontation: The two have played against each other three times this year. Littler defeated MVG unexpectedly in the Premier League, but his experience in tournament finals is far inferior to his opponent (MVG has won 40 PDC tournaments).

Odds: Bookmakers have temporarily opened MVG 1.72 vs Littler 2.10, but British fans are betting crazily on Littler, and the odds continue to tighten.

🌟 Phenomenal influence: The "new Messi" in the darts world

Commercial value: Littler's jersey sales topped the PDC official website, and his personal Instagram followers soared from 10,000 to 800,000 in half a year.

Breaking circle effect: The semi-final ratings set a record for non-final matches in Sky Sports darts events. Even Manchester United star Rashford tweeted: "This kid is much better than I was when I was 16!"

Record harvester:

Youngest PDC tournament champion (2024 Bahrain Masters, 16 years and 1 month old).

Youngest World Championship semi-finalist (2023, 15 years old).

If he wins, he will break the record of the youngest Matchplay champion held by MVG at 17 years and 258 days.

💬 Pre-match voice

ETH Stock Trading Littler: "I have watched MVG's game videos since I was a child. Now it's like a dream to compete with him for the championship. I won't be afraid because I know that my darts can beat anyone."

Michael van Gerwen: "ETH Stock Trading is a genius, but the final is another kind of pressure. I will let him understand why I am called the 'Hulk'."
