Matchday 11 started at 18.00 CET with the game against FC St. Pauli. As usual, it was 2 vs 2 for starters with the Black and Red duo of Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr and Furkan ‘FURKY’ Kayacik in action first. The Leverkusen players were up against Berkay ‘BERKAYLION’ Demirci and Erol ‘EROL_96X’ Bernhardt – And they won the game 2-1. Landwehr then played St Pauli's Kamal ‘FCSP_KAMAL’ Kamboj. As the Leverkusen player only managed a 3-3 draw, the third game in the match would produce the winners and losers. Furky beat Demirci 2-1 to secure three points on matchday 11.
The Leverkusen eSports players lost out to Hannover 96 on matchday 12. First, Landwehr and Furky were defeated 1-0 by the to Hannover players Riad ‘H96_RIAD’ Fazlija and Ajdin ‘H96_AJDIN’ Islamovic. Landwehr was then on the wrong end of a 4-1 scoreline in the 1 vs 1 against Islamovic. The result was therefore decided with a game to play.
