Would rather see Wzde in the final, as he has a significantly better chance of beating MVG, than White has.

[ChrisW]

2 consecutive 100+ perfomances from White on a stage.
He will probably divebomb against MVG.

[ChrisW]

Two finals in a row in the ET also. Will be knocking on that top 10 door shortly.

[ChrisW]

White looking like he has a chance here.

[Duterprat]

Great job from the PDC again. Crucial finish in the 9th leg coming up, so what do we do?
Disable the stream and then switch to a replay starting at 4 minutes before the final starts. Excellent, I am really glad that I can pay for this clusterfuck. Not one session of darts w/o a massive failure with the stream(s) since they moved to the current provider.

[ChrisW]

Don't worry watch the replay of last week

Or........It's 7-7.

[ChrisW]

ET Title #32.

[ssjsa]

Credit to Ian White. At least he pushed him close.

Cant wait.

<Pro Tour rankings at cut-off for ET7 and ET8 qualifying>.

Webster just making the seeds is really helpful given his poor form. Maybe the pressure contributed to his horrible performance at the Austrian Darts Open.

Wattimena misses ET6.
Michael Smith is out of form and will be dropping some more decent Players Championship results in May.

So, Webster could be OK for ET9 and ET10 if he can get back to normal and win his first game before losing in the last 16.
