On matchday 23, the #B04eSports players faced Hansa Rostock in the early evening. Furkan ‘FURKY’ Kayacik, on PlayStation 5, suffered a 3-0 defeat in the 1v1 game. His teammate Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr, usually at home on PS5, switched to Xbox Series S/X – and he ended up on the wrong end of a 1-0 scoreline. Landwehr and Paul ‘B04_PAUL’ Degner were beaten 2-0 in the 2v2 encounter.
The Black and Reds then went into the games against FC Köln with the same line-up. There were no points later in the evening either: Kayacik lost 2-1, Landwehr 3-0, and the 2v2 ended in a 1-0 defeat for the Leverkusen team.
The #B04eSports team have dropped down to eleventh in the table in the North West division and the gap to sixth place is now 19 points.
Next Tuesday, 1 March (from 20.00 CET), brings the match against the ninth-placed side Borussia Mönchengladbach – it will be the last for Landwehr and Co. in the current VBL CC season. As usual, the fixture will be broadcast on the Bayer 04 Twitch channel.

He knows the dressing room, the pitch and the club. But, above all, he knows the feeling of playing for the Werkself at the BayArena: Moussa Diaby is back in Leverkusen after three years. The lightning-fast winger has signed a contract with Bayer 04 until 2031 and he will once again wear the number 19 jersey. The left-footed player previously played for the club from 2019 to 2023, having arrived in the Rhineland from his native France as a promising young talent and eventually leaving the club – having established himself as one of the Bundesliga’s best attackers – to join Aston Villa in the Premier League. Now he has returned to Bayer 04 from Al-Ittihad FC in Saudi Arabia.
