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.
