The night started with a setback against Schalke: Marc 'MARC_LDW23' Landwehr and Sean 'SEAN_LDW07' Landwehr were on the wrong end of a 1-0 scoreline in the 2 vs 2 encounter with Bastian ‘BUBSCHI10’ Rupsch and Max ‘ANTIMAX’ Eggenkämper. Rupsch then went on to beat Marc Landwehr 3-1 resulting in an early defeat for the Black and Reds on Matchday 30.
Matchday 31 against VfL Wolfsburg produced a flood of goals for Leverkusen. The Landwehr cousins first clocked up a 7-1 victory in the 2 vs 2 against Benedikt ‘BENECR7X’ Bauer and Fabio ‘WOB_FABIO’ Immerthal. Marc Landwehr did then lose 3-1 to Immerthal but Sean Landwehr secured three points for the #B04eSports team with a 5-0 win against Wolfsburg's Bauer.
The triple matchday ended with more important points against VBL newcomers Fortuna Düsseldorf who are also fighting for a place in the play-offs in ninth place in the table. The 2 vs 2 between the Leverkusen duo and Joe ‘JH7’ Hellmann and Michael ‘DEOS’ Haan ended all square at 1-1. Marc Landwehr went on to win 1-0 against Kai ‘HENSOO’ Hense and Sean Landwehr rounded off the matchday with a 3-2 victory against Hellmann.
The Black and Reds remain seventh in the North West Division with the six points gained.
