Furkan ‘FURKY’ Kayacik and Landwehr faced Fabio ‘WOB_FABIO’ Immerthal and Bastian ‘PIPE CREW’ Rupsch in the first game. Leverkusen were on the wrong end of a 2-0 scoreline. Landwehr and Wolfsburg's Immerthal then met in a 1 vs 1 encounter with the VfL player coming out on top. The 3-2 defeat was the first reverse for Landwehr in a singles match in the current campaign. That result meant the three points went to VfL Wolfsburg.

The Leverkusen eSports players ran out 2-1 winners.
Landwehr faced Paderborn's Wirth in the second game. The 20-year-old Leverkusen player lost 2-0. The third and deciding match saw Mario ‘BULJI’ Lovrinovic representing the Black and Reds against Büscher for SCP. The clash ended in a 1-1 draw with both teams taking one point. The defeat against Wolfsburg in the early evening sees Leverkusen drop to ninth place on eight points.
