Anybody who follows the VBL will be well aware of the defensive strength of Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr. The Leverkusen PlayStation pro kept a clean sheet in the 1v1 against Hannover's Riad ‘H96_RIAD’ Fazlija – and he was able to emerge with a 1-0 victory thanks to his strike late on. The first three points of the evening were secured.
In the following 1v1 on Xbox, #B04eSports player Fabian ‘B04_DUBZJE’ de Cae demonstrated his qualities. He clocked up a convincing 5-2 win against 96 pro Jannik ‘H96_JANNIK’ Berg. As the following 2v2 for Landwehr and Paul ‘B04_PAUL’ Degner ended goalless, with Leverkusen again proving their quality in defence, the match ended in a clear 7-1 victory over the team top of the league.
The later games were against VfL Wolfsburg who are below the Black and Reds in the VBL table. Landwehr ground out a goalless draw in the PlayStation 1v1 against the Wolves player Khalid ‘KHALIDGRL03’ Gürel. The next two matches ended in narrow defeats: De Cae lost 1-0 on Xbox, the 2v2 finished with a 2-1 defeat.
The #B04eSports team remain eighth after matchdays 17 and 18 with the gap to the targeted top six just three points. The Black and Reds are in action next Tuesday evening, 8 February, with the fixtures against FC St Pauli (18.00 CET) plus Hamburg SV (20.00 CET). These games will also be streamed on the club’s Bayer 04 Twitch channel.

Bayer 04 has presented the groups on the Monheim council with extensively revised proposals for the planned Campus. As part of constructive discussions, the club presented a plan to the CDU, SPD, Greens, FDP, PETO and the Left Party that envisages a one-third reduction in the area of the site on Alfred-Nobel-Strasse. The distance to neighbours will be increased by almost 60 percent. The green corridor will therefore be significantly larger than previously planned. Here are the main changes.
