These gold medalists displayed not only superior skill and finesse at their game of choice, but had the endurance and flexibility to beat a series of tough opponents. It’s this kind of consistent excellence that separates gold medalists from everyone else.
Congratulations to all of you, and to everyone who stepped up for their chance to go for the gold.
While the official deadline for Digital Games bracket completion has passed, some matches haven’t been reported yet. Let’s have a look at the medalists so far!
In South American FIFA, the field has been whittled down to four players! Teruliro will battle franklinsoto for a chance at supremacy, while maryfer faces off against pclloh in the bottom portion of the bracket. Who will reign supreme in South America?
After a tumultuous first round of bracket play in the Digital Games, things are falling into place for the second round.
In Counter-Strike: 1.6 Europe, first-seeded emulate look to drop #16 peXg.young.cs, while #2 neP face off against #15 LowLandLions.cs. emulate are already world champions in a different tournament, so it should come as no surprise that they are heavily favored to have their way with this bracket. We will see, however, if a lower seed can upset them.
The deadline for the first round of the Digital Games Regional Final Brackets have been extended to Saturday, August 9, to give players/teams who have not played a bit more time.
We won’t be able to extend the brackets again, so if you do not play your match by Saturday you will be forfeited out of the competition.
If you have played a first round match, please re-report the results, as some of the results were erased in the process of extending the round.
World Golf Tour features realistic wind simulation and true to life replication of the world’s best golf courses.
Best of all, WGT keeps track of your progress on a global leaderboard. This allows players to one up their friends without having to leave their homes.
If you’re like most people and can’t partake in a real life world golf tour, hit up World Golf Tour to get started.
With the conclusion of the Digital Games ladders, we’ve switched the tournament over to a bracket format for the Regional Finals.
The regional brackets pit national medalists against one another in a fight to the death to determine who is best in the region. In addition, if you are a participant in the Digital Games brackets and want to be featured in a new video show GGL is developing, please save your demos and replays (where applicable)!
GGL rules stipulate that all replays should be saved for dispute purposes regardless, but there could be some very interesting coverage opportunities for you and your team in the future, so please save replays!
With the end of the Digital Games ladders, GGL is proud to announce the national medalists for all games. These medalists will eventually be preserved on a DG medals page, but here’s the list for your perusal.
PC World’s Broadband Innovation series just featured the Digital Games, with some backstory on Patrick “Pat Dark” O’Day, who is participating in the tournament.
While the article goes to some length to describe O’Day’s lack of athleticism (as if it matters when it comes to computer games), it ends on a fairly positive tone.
I recently interviewed North American StarCraft ladder leader Artosis about the Digital Games, his StarCraft experiences and the future of the SC scene. With the coming of StarCraft II, certain aspects of the scene may go by the wayside. This hardened competitive gamer offered his viewpoint below in this rapid fire interview.
GGL: Please tell us your full name, age and occupation.
Dan Stemkoski / 25 / aspiring SC commentator/player.
GGL: How long have you been playing SC?
9 or 10 years.
GGL: What was your impetus for entering the Digital Games StarCraft competition?
I like to support any StarCraft tournaments/ladders that I can.
GGL: Who is your most dangerous opponent so far and why?
My teammate Machine[Media]. He is a really really good zerg player and he’s beaten me a few times on the ladder. Read more »
With only two weeks remaining in the ladder phase of the Digital Games, many of the ranks are starting to sort themselves out. However, teams and players can be leapfrogged with ease, so danger could lurk around the corner for our ladder leaders. Let’s check out the current rankings.
On the South American Call of Duty 4 ladder, Ready to Kill Clan maintain their #1 position despite a losing record. In the coming days, however, they will face a strong challenge from brazilianclan. This all-Brazilian ladder may come down to the wire within the next two weeks, as it’s difficult to grind out a lot of matches in a 5v5 format. We’ll keep an eye on it as we move forward.
There’s been a heightened interest in Olympics games over the last 12 months, with many mascots getting in on the action. The highly amusing Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games (subject of GGL’s Up All Night 2) is just one example.
It should come as no surprise, then, that there’s also a realistic Olympics game in the work. Behold: Beijing 2008!
GGL’s Digital Games is a worldwide online tournament that will have its Global Finals held as part of the Our Olympic Organizing Committee’s welcome events hosted by the China Government. Ladder play is underway for DG, and you can register by visiting dg.ggl.com.
Here are your Digital Games gold medal winners!
