The fixture against Eintracht Braunschweig started as usual for the #B04eSports players with a 2 vs 2 game. Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr and Furkan ‘FURKY’ Kayacik were on the controllers and up against the Braunschweig duo of Kai ‘HENSOO’ Hense and Philipp ‘EISVOGEL’ Schermer. The match ended with a 2-1 defeat from a Black and Red perspective.
The following 1 vs 1 game between Landwehr and Braunschweig’s Hense ended all square (2-2), so it came down to the third duel. In this 1 vs 1, Kayacik faced Schermer - and the Bayer 04 eSports player secured a 2-1 win. That made the overall result a draw.
