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.
Bayer 04 have the chance to reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League for the third time ever and the first in 14 years at Arsenal on Tuesday night (kick-off 21:00 CEST/20:00 local time). To do that, the Werkself not only require a strong performance like in the first leg, but also full concentration until the very last minute, as the Premier League leaders like to score late - as they did at the BayArena last week. Here's the Matchday News.
