The draw for the Nordic Darts Masters has been made. Among other, Darius Labanauskas will go up against the new world champion Michael Smith.

For the third time in a row, we will see the very best of the PDC circuit, when the Forum in Copenhagen will be filled with dart enthusiasts, as the World Series once again visits the Nordic and Baltic region.

And now the draw has been made for the event.

The new world champion and also Bahrain Darts Masters champion Michael Smith will go up against Darius Labanauskas.

The mainly Danish audience will also see their two home players Benjamin Drue Reus and Vladimir Andersen go up against two former world champions, as Reus will go up against Gerwyn Price and Andersen will face Rob Cross.

The two former Tour Card holders Marko Kantele and Daniel Larsson will face Luke Humphries and Jonny Clayton respectively, and last but not least, the two Swedes Dennis Nilsson and Andreas Harrysson will go up against Peter Wright and Michael van Gerwen.
