#B04eSports: Five draws on the night

Following the one-week break in the VBL Club Championship, the Bayer 04 eSports players were unable to end the night with an overall victory: On matchday 15, Leverkusen had to settle for a 5-2 defeat against Schalke 04 before drawing 3-3 with VfL Bochum. One oddity: There were five games without a winner in the six matches played (four 1-v-1s and two 2-v-2s) on the double matchday.
