Luke Littler has threatened to boycott upcoming darts events in Germany until October following his semi-final defeat at the German Darts Grand Prix.
The 18-year-old world champion was knocked out by Gian van Veen in Munich on Monday.
Littler took to social media shortly after his 7-4 loss to express his frustration.
The teenage sensation has faced hostile crowds in Germany, with fans often cheering for his opponents rather than the young English star.

Minutes after his exit from the tournament, Littler posted a picture of a car footwell on Instagram with a pointed message.
"Shouldn't have been in Munich but had to play anyway. Next one in Germany for me is Dortmund and I am glad to say that," he wrote.
The post suggests Littler plans to skip several upcoming German events, including another European Grand Prix next month, the Baltic Sea Open and multiple Players Championship events.
Dortmund will host the European Tour finale in October, which appears to be Littler's next planned appearance in the country.
Littler had been in good form at the Munich tournament before his semi-final exit.
He defeated fellow youngster Cam Crabtree on Sunday to progress to Monday's play.

The teenager then notched impressive wins over Joe Cullen and Peter Wright in the earlier rounds.
Against Van Veen, Littler posted a 95.78 average which was significantly lower than the Dutchman's impressive 110.81.
After falling behind 3-0, Littler changed his darts and rallied to lead 4-3.
However, Van Veen responded by winning the next four legs to secure victory.

Littler has previously expressed frustration with German crowds.
"I had a little headloss moment, as some of us players do," he said after facing a hostile reception in Berlin earlier this month.
"I just don't get it, and I can't explain it. Obviously, you do your walk-on, but then as soon as I got on stage, I started getting booed."
He added: "I got booed in Hildesheim last year against Peter Wright on the European Tour. I was flying and then they started booing me and I lost."

Littler will now turn his attention to the next night of Premier League Darts in Liverpool.
The Manchester United fan is expected to face a challenging atmosphere at the M&S Bank Arena from local fans.
His quarter-final tie will be against Michael van Gerwen, who claimed victory at the German Grand Prix after hitting a nine-darter against Ryan Searle in the third round.
Littler will be seeking a fifth nightly win this season, which would set a new record in the competition.
