#B04eSports: Important win in Rückrunde opener

In the first game of the new year, the #B04eSports team faced Hamburg SV in the first fixture of the Rückrunde. On Matchday 10, Marc and Sean Landwehr were already under pressure looking at the table after an unfortunate Hinrunde. Three points were urgently needed to maintain contact with the play-off spots.

The HSV eSports players were ninth in the North West division of the VBL Club Championship ahead of this matchday. Four points separated the clubs. Previous results saw the #B04eSports team drop down to next to bottom in the division. The match on Thursday night demonstrated that Marc 'MARC_LDW23' Landwehr and Sean 'Sean_LDW07' Landwehr were not happy with this situation.

second win of the season

In the 2 vs 2 game, the Leverkusen eSports players faced Steffen ‘FUNINO’ Pöppe and Brandon ‘HSV_PERKKIX’ Wüschem. After taking an early lead, the Landwehr cousins added two goals over the course of the game to diminish any remaining hopes for the Hamburg pair. The Leverkusen players deservedly won 4-2 in the end.

In the single player game, Sean Landwehr was up against Daniel ‘HSV_Daniel7’ Dwelk. It was end-to-end action in an exciting match. The Hamburg eSports player took an early lead. The Black and Reds turned the match around on 35 minutes but the opponents levelled two minutes later. And it lasted two more minutes before Sean Landwehr cancelled out a renewed lead for ‘HSV_DANIEL7’. The scoreline on 67 minutes was 3-3. The Leverkusen eSports player upped his game again and netted two more goals. The scoring in a crazy game was finally completed with a late consolation strike on 90 minutes for the final score of 5-4 – three points were secured.
