A STAR IS BORN! | Final Session Highlights | 2023 German Darts Championship 

I just love watching Pietreczko play, it’s so smooth and satisfying

Absolutely world class. Ricardo with a 100% double check out over 8 legs. Champ 🇩🇪 🇩🇪 🇩🇪🏆

Pikachu used D16! It’s super effective!

Absolutely deserved Title for Pikachu. A 10 Darter in the decider against MvG was unbelievable good. Then in the Final not his completely a game with the score, but a 100% Checkquote is absolutely phenomenal and a premiere for a final i think. He can be together with Clemens and Schindler the next big thing in German Darts in the near future

Ricardo Pietretzco is literally the happiest man on Earth right now!!! Winning that tournament in front of his German crowd will absolutely mean everything to him, he is literally a future darting star and literally has his full potential here!!!

8 for 8 in the finals on doubles. Incredible stuff, he played brilliantly

Star performance from Ricardo, this is a path for much much more. Qualify for the grand slam, European championship and world championship is a really good chance to get into the top 32 of the world. We will hear this name way more often. Mark this words

8/8 checkout in a final against snake bite after beating MVG, absolutely nuts! Amazing from Ricardo. Surely nobody has done 100% checkout success on a televised event?!

Peter Wright… great sportsman!!! Always like how he is congratulating his opponent! Fair play ❤

Can someone please enlighten me on when the last time someone had 100% on checkouts in a FINAL that is? 8/8 just disgusting 🤩.

wow what a performance, 8/8 on doubles in a final is just fenomenal! Great for german darts and i am excited to see Pietreczko in the next tournaments

Could not have happened to a nicer dude. You have to love Pikachu, such a calm and friendly player :)

A 10 darter to beat MVG in a last leg shootout in the semis then a 100% checkout in a final is astonishing and probably a lot rarer than a 9 darter. Well done Pietreczko.

Just missing the prize ceremony, wanted to see Ricardo's reaction on his first ever win

Pikachu used his Super powers 8 from 8 100% Checkout, Insane😍

Would never of predicted this never! But fair play to Ricardo. Nice to see someone different win something, especially in their own backyard.

His doubles were awesome all day.... congratulations Pietreczko

Excellent performance all weekend from Ricardo, what a player! Also great to see Peter Wright getting back in form

Bloody hell.. Pikachu had ALL THE SMOKE! Dodged the Bullet, shocked MvG and bit Snakebite with that D16. What a run!

Ricardo is as smooth as butter , absolutely fantastic talent , and he's going to be World Champion one day imo 👍

Great to see a new player showing the big boys how to do it, long may it continue.

15:59 BIG OUCH!!! Humphries was SO SO CLOSE to hitting the 9 darter, DAMN!!!! I’m so gutted that he missed that!!!

What a player!! Well done Ricardo.

8/8 doubles in a final is ridiculous 😅

Absolutely amazing, couldn't have written a better storyline.

Fabulous to see a young player winning. Brilliant 👍😎

8 goes at doubles 8 taken😮wowcher I had 8 double vodkas once but I dropped one ☝️

Just keep up the good work Pichachu and we will see more of this great performances. Great human. Great played

Pretty sure it’s the first German to win a darts trophy since max hopp

I think it’s very satisfying that he won it on home soil and the energy and passion was all there! Congratulations!

What A Win👌Congratulations to the Champion 🏆 🎯 👍

Фантастика 8 из 8 закрытий в финале. Мои поздравления🎉

Well deserved! Was more shocked that Humphries got knocked out, he has been unbelievable this weekend. Amazing how this game works sometimes!

Ricardo will go places. I don’t think in the next year but long term he will definitely be a top 10 player. Such a natural throw. I’ve not seen such a natural throw since Gary Anderson

Pietrecko’ got some Bristow going. The pinky and the lean. Excellent to watch!

Damn, that was a performance. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Absolutely monumental watching this unfold

100% doubles in the final just says it all!

Well played young man 👏👏👏

What a performance! Well deserved as he beat some of the best darts players on the scene to get to the final! To then get 100% on doubles with the pressure. Well done that man 👌🔥

Such good finishing from pikachu. Wright was on a break on two legs, might have completed turned the hazme around, but Pikachu was simply deadly on the double

Absolutely my favourite player right now. And how couldn't he be. The darts are sublime, the lad's a born talent, and he's got such a professional head on his shoulders. Let's go Pikachu!! Amazing!

Wtf was his finishing this whole tournament?! Like theres a magnet behind the doubles...absolutely outstanding

Wow Pikachoo! What a win. Well done M8.

How does he manage to stay so cool? Amazing stuff, given the magnitude of the task. You see him performing some breathing exercises, grounding himself by breathing into his palm and doing everything in his own time, but its all easier said than done. Just incredible performance to hit 8/8 doubles in his first euro tour final!

He played like a pro all the way through, well deserved 1st title and sure won’t be the last!! Well done mate!!!

Being 100% in The final on The doubles is out of this world but even crazier is that he was also 7/9 in The semi final with 77% on doubles against MvG. So in The last Two games he played with a combined checkout of more than 88%. Just incredible

Beat MVG 7-6 with a 10 darter in the deciding leg and than a very good perform Peter Wright in the Final with 8 out of 8 i never seen this before well deserved

Thats was awesome to watch. So calm, cool.

Peter Wright looked like a proud father after Pikachu sent that double 16 in. Good job mate, well earned victory

What a player Ricardo

So glad Germany is stepping up with all these great players. This guy is going to be a crowd favorite.

Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE. Darts regularly produces such amazing stories and what a story ive witnessed in Hildesheim this weekend. The first time i saw Ricardo Pietreczko earlier this year on the Pro Tour, i instantly liked his demeanour and reactions to certain shots even when he hit a bad shot, he was smiling whilst playing and just looks so relaxed whilst playing. Ill be totally honest i didnt have him as one of my picks to win the event this weekend but my word he played fantastic and deserves to win it. He came here to atleast ensure hes in for the European Championship later this month by winning his first match against Mansell, but he went ahead and beat his compatriot in Schindler and even when he beat Killington earlier in the afternoon today, u still wouldnt expect him to achieve what he has today. From 4-1 down against an in form Bunting, he reeled off 5 straight legs to get into the semis against MVG and even then from the 4 semi finalists he would be the last one u would think would win the title. Luke Humphries was playing so so good following on from his Grand Prix win and looked unplayable at times but this is why we love the darts so much and the fact anyone can beat anyone just makes it so watchable and entertaining. In the semis, Ricardo did so well to get to 6-3 but then when MVG got it back to 6-6 and was throwing for the match, it looked like MVG would win it in a last leg decider as he had already done against Cullen and Clemens earlier today but then that leg Ricardo produced under immense pressure was just UNREAL. I mean just to put it into perspective, hes playing MVG for the first time ever, playing in his first Euro tour semi final looking to reach his first ever PDC final and hes in a last leg decider against the darts having just lost 3 consecutive legs against the great MVG and he produces a stunning 10 dart leg finished on D18. The bottle this guy has is crazy. He could have easily wilted or let the pressure of the moment get to him but he just kept playing as if hes in the practice room. Then in the final, as if we needed more proof of how good his bottle is, he goes 100% on his doubles with 8/8 on the outer ring to beat a resurgent Peter Wright. In front of his home crowd, in his first ever PDC final against a legend of the sport, to go perfect on the finishing like that without missing a single dart at double, is simply unheard of. I mean i cant really explain how hard that is to do and yet he just strolled up to the oche and did exactly that. Full credit to him and this will be the best moment in his life up until this point. What a way to finish the European Tour for this year and i cant wait for it next year, these events r my favourites from the non majors.

Absolutely brilliant display by Ricardo, im English but that lad is fast becoming my favourite player. Just one thing though I think he needs to eat some pies to actually look like a dart player😂

unbelievable performance indeed. WOW

Fantastisch Ricardo!!!😊👍👏👏👏🙋‍♂️

Probably the most fun title win of the entire year, such a surprise and such happiness in front of his home crowd, amazing!

Brilliant, well done Ricardo..

100% checkouts in the final against Snakebite? Dude... That was something! Nicely done young boy! :)

Ricardo made Germany proud...keeping legends on toes like Josh Rock...congrats

What a great guy and we’ll deserved Picachuuuuu!

I wanted a Pikachu vHumphries final so badly but as usual Luke got in his feelings and lost. Pikachu always had it in him to do brilliant things

We were so close to a German German semifinal. What a pity. Congratulations 🎉 not expected, but happy it happened.

Germany is very proud of you Ricardo! Wonderful refreshing Go on kick ass!! 🎉

Couldn't have had a better bloke win the title! Well deserved, Ricardo.

Luke looked unstoppable until he was stopped.

That impeccable finishing from Ricardo 👀

Top Spiele ,verdient Finalsieger geworden.....weiter so....vielleicht wird er ein "ganz Großer"...

Невероятно, парень поймал кураж!!!

Pietretzco throw is beautiful

I am so proud of Peter Wright, we could se him playing really well. I think he will back to his true form very soon

Well done lad

On Day Two evening highlight video comments I asked Pikachu to send MvG home. He did that and more. My new hero!

100% on doubles is unreal 👏

Wunderbare Leistung von Pikachu! Gut gemacht, junger Mann!

Bravo Pietreczko!

4:32 Percentage Shot

CONGRATULATION PIKACHU!!! My favourites pokemon and darts collide!!! XD

Ricardo is a force to be reckoning with now!! Make no mistake.

The New Real german giant and not such a big fatty burger like clemens!
