The Bayer 04 eSports players were able to show their talent in the first game: In the first 1 vs 1 against the Hassloch player Maxim ‘ElDoll’ Doll, Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr secured a runaway 7-1 victory. And the second game was also full of goals: Furkan ‘FURKY’ Kayacik faced Levin ‘LamboLambert’ Lambert in the second 1 vs 1 and that game ended in an 11-0 win for the Leverkusen player. The Black and Reds thereby secured a convincing overall victory in the first round of the DFB eCup.
The win qualifies the Bayer 04 eSports players for the second round of the DFB eCup on 26 April.
