The Bayer 04 eSports players were able to show their talent in the first game: In the first 1 vs 1 against the Hassloch player Maxim ‘ElDoll’ Doll, Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr secured a runaway 7-1 victory. And the second game was also full of goals: Furkan ‘FURKY’ Kayacik faced Levin ‘LamboLambert’ Lambert in the second 1 vs 1 and that game ended in an 11-0 win for the Leverkusen player. The Black and Reds thereby secured a convincing overall victory in the first round of the DFB eCup.
The win qualifies the Bayer 04 eSports players for the second round of the DFB eCup on 26 April.
The DFB eCup is a nationwide eFootball competition organised by the German Football Association (DFB). It is open to eFootball professional players and amateur teams from across Germany.
