It’s often difficult to get match replays due to the speed of ladder play, so sometimes it’s best to just have a quick list breaking down the leaders of the prominent Digital Games ladders.

These records can change at any time, so let’s get to it! The format goes: Name / Points / Record.

Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath

North America: KiFireLedius / 1500 / 5-1 / 5W
Europe: LeOwNzAll / 1775 / 9-0 / 9W

StarCraft: Brood War

North America: BroL1 / 1675 / 7-0 / 7W
Europe: localhost9 / 1780 / 7-2 / 6W Continued…

The last few days of Digital Games ladder play has been marked by some turnover on the South American Call of Duty 4 ladder, with Ready to Kill Clan taking over the top spot from O MAR ABRIU VEI! and Canibais. This is all despite the fact that R2KC hold a losing record–it just goes to show that activity pays off in ladder play, wins and losses aside.

On the European Command & Conquer 3 ladder, Technique has extended his win streak in first place, while knolz and spug3t bring up 2nd and 3rd, respectively. KiFireLedius still holds the lead on the North American C&C3 ladder.

Also, this is becoming old hat by now, but Paladyn continues to decimate the competition on the European Warcraft III scene. He now holds a 43-5 record, with no apparent intention to stop anytime soon. Ditto for North American Trackmania Nations Forever leader G2_Wolf, who stands at 8-0.

Last, but certainly not least, European FIFA stalwart dragua is clinging to a narrow points lead over icantplaygood; this drama will certainly play out in the weeks to come.

Registration is still open for the DG ladders. Sign up to represent your country against some of the best competitors in the world, across thirteen different titles.

Of note is the poll that ran several months ago on the GGL site; six of the top eight games from the poll have been selected for the Digital Games program (though I question the polling audience, as DoTA, an incredibly popular game, ranked very low on the poll).
