The story of the Digital Games competition so far has to be Przemek “Paladyn” Wadoń, who continues to dominate the Warcraft III Europe ladder.

While other players struggle to reach second place, Paladyn is feasting on those below him. His most recent victories come over DreamS.SalaN., tp|uSports-Xekc and tp_uSports-aVa. He also recently lost to dmZ-TWiN; this is only one of three losses for Paladyn.

The victories should come as no surprise to those in the know; Paladyn is a highly regarded pro player in the European Warcraft III scene. Will anyone step up to the challenge to stop him?

Only time will tell.

Registration continues for the Digital Games program, with thirteen game titles available for play. There is also a chance to attend the Digital Games Grand Final as part of the Our Olympic Organizing Committee’s welcome events hosted by the China Governmen.

The first couple of days of the 2008 Digital Games ladders are complete, and RTS gamers are leading the charge.While activity has been slow on many of the titles requiring more coordination, Digital Games RTS titles are unique in that finding a server is not necessary (or alternatively, servers like Blizzard’s Battle.net and EA’s online service are always up).

Additionally, matches can be completed in a relatively short amount of time.This ease of use is borne out in the number of matches played in Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne and StarCraft.

Currently, the Russian NaviGraF sits atop the European WC3 ladder with a 13-12 record, 2560 points, and a 1 game winning streak. His time on the top may be short lived, as the well-known Polish player Paladyn is in 2nd place with a 13-2 record and 2380 points.DreamS.SalaN (2020, 9-4, 3W) has a tenuous grip on 3rd place.

Right behind him is 4th place tp_uSports-aVa (1960, 8-5, 1L). The top 20 spots on the ladder are dominated by Russian and Ukrainian players.We’ll find out if any of the other European region countries represent themselves this well as time goes on.

Additionally, we’re seeing moderate activity on the StarCraft and Command & Conquer 3 ladders.

North American StarCraft stalwart Artosis is leading his region with a 4-1 record, including wins over Machine[Media], TeamLiquid (the entire TeamLiquid community? haha), GoShox, and goodbody. Keep up the great work!

We’re only two days into ladder play, and registration is open for the duration of the ladders. Ladder play ends June 27, so there’s still plenty of time to particpate. You will need to be a GGL member to participate in this competition. Register to begin.
