Filed under: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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…

Digital Games ladder report: June 30

Filed under: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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.

Digital Games ladder report: June 26

Filed under: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Heated competition continues on the Digital Games ladders, but the leaders are beginning to solidify their positions on some games and regions.

Paladyn has a stranglehold on the on the European Warcraft III front, as usual, with a 39-5 record and 4940 points. He’s 780 points ahead of Russian dmZfederal, and 940 ahead of iesbly4eg. FuRY[SWE], however, is climbing with a 25-5 record and 6W streak. He’s currently in 4th place.

In 6th, another star is rising. His name is PGS.LiiLD.C, and if you’re a follower of the WC3 scene, you know he’s a force to be reckoned with…

Meanwhile, on the Trackmania Nations Forever North American ladder, G2_Wolf has held onto his undefeated record. He did not, in fact, get to play Iceman yesterday. Wolf expressed some disappointment as he’d rather “get 40 points for racing and losing instead of 60 for a forfeit win.” This hardened competitor will be looking forward to the challenges posed by CoryEarly and wilameta.

Digital Games Trackmania interview: G2_Wolf speaks!

Filed under: , , , , , , , , ,

Registration is open for the Digital Games ladders until July 27. Hit the registration link to sign up and get started! 

This morning I had a chance to catch up with current North American Trackmania Nations Forever leader G2_Wolf about his TMNF exploits, as well as some gaming history. Luckily for me, I ambushed him just before he was about to head into a game of Project Powder.

Real name: Dakota Watterson
Age: 16
Occupation: Student

GGL: So I see you’ve played a bunch of games competitively; what motivated you to join the Digital Games for Trackmania Nations Forever?

G2_Wolf: Actually, I was bored and looking for some competition in Trackmania :S. I haven’t been playing competitively in many games lately.

GGL: Why specifically Trackmania?

G2_Wolf: Well, why not Trackmania? I had tons of fun playing in TMN and have tons of fun playing in TMNF. (And because I’m good at it, unlike with my Warsow attempt).

GGL: Is there anything in particular that attracted you to TMN/TMNF in terms of features of the game?

G2_Wolf: It’s unique with jumps and wallrides and loops and all kinds of other crazy stuff, and it’s a fast game that takes a lot of skill for most tracks. And with no collision detection, no griefers :). Continued…

Digital Games ladder update: June 23

Filed under: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Visit this registration link to get started in the Digital Games worldwide online tournament

Ladder play continues in GGL’s Digital Games, with a number of standout players and teams coming to the forefront to represent their countries and gaming communities.

The most rabid players reside on the Warcraft III European ladder, where Paladyn continues to feast on players who are challenging his first place spot. Paladyn now holds a 34-5 record, 4440 points and a 3W streak.

dmZfederal (22-10, 3600, 2L) and iesbly4eg (24-4, 3480, 3W) are holding it down in 2nd and 3rd place, respectively.

On the North American StarCraft front, Artosis has held onto his first place spot, although he does have a 2L streak. This could be problematic because, if memory serves correctly, there are no newbies on this ladder. We’ll continue to keep an eye on Artosis as the ladders go on.

In European StarCraft news, LoWeLy leads the ladder with a 5-2 record, 1580 points and an unfortunate 1L streak. Continued…
