LUKE LITTLER has DESTROYED fans on online darts matches just hours before the World Championship.
The darts sensation is the favourites to go all the way at Ally Pally during the tournament.
Littler, 17, will be keeping an eye on the opening rounds of the tournament that starts TONIGHT when big rival and reigning champ Luke Humphries begins his defence.
The Nuke will make his bow in the World Championship in the evening session on Saturday in the second round.
He will be facing the winner of the first round match between Fallon Sherrock and Ryan Meikle.
He has been diligent in his practice and has even challenged his fans to online darts matches using a £450 Omni auto-scoring system.
Littler posted pictures of the clashes on his social media as fans could not believe the rate in which he was scoring.
In one game, he averaged 119.29 with every three darts compared to his opponent’s 58.21.
Littler also racked up an incredible 125.40 average from his first nine darts as he won the match 5-0.
Fans reacted to the scary rate of scoring on social media.
One posted: “The 125.40 first nine feels just as absurd.”
A second commented: “Luke Littler was playing a few fans last night on the Target Omni, it’s safe to say he’s playing well.
