There has been a significant change at the top of the PDC Nordic & Baltic rankings.
Two more Nordic & Baltic Pro Tour events were played at the weekend in Vilnius, Lithuania. Both Pro Tour Event 3 and 4 were won by the same man, Darius Labanauskas. As a result, he picks up the maximum of 2,400 ranking points. Now with a total of 3,050, he is well clear at the top of the rankings.
In second place is Pro Tour Event 2 champion Daniel Larsson. The Swede finished runner-up in the fourth event, and has 2125 points. Behind him on 1650 points is Event 1 winner Kim Viljanen. No player has surpassed 1000 points without winning a tournament. Ulf Ceder struggled for form in the two events, but remains in fourth. Following him are Madars Razma, Marko Kantele and Johan Engstrom. Cor Dekker rises to eighth, thanks to his run to the final of Pro Tour Event 3.
The top two in the rankings after 10 events will qualify for the 2019 PDC World Championship. The Finnish pair of Viljanen and Kantele claimed the two spots last year.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
