Matchday 27 was first up against VfL Bochum. The Leverkusen team began with good prospects of an overall victory after Marc 'MARC_LDW23' Landwehr and Sean 'SEAN_LDW07' Landwehr beat Ali ‘PREDATORFIFA’ Oskoui Rad and Timo ‘TIMOX’ Siep 2-1 in the 2 vs 2 game. But the following two individual clashes ended in defeat for Leverkusen.
Against FC St. Pauli there was a 2 vs 2 for starters between the Landwehr cousins and Kamal ‘FCSP_KAMAL’ Kamboj and Koray ‘KKORAY34’ Kücükgünar, which ended in a 3-0 defeat. Marc Landwehr then secured a 2-0 win against Kücükgünar but Sean Landwehr went down 2-0 against Kamboj.
Hannover 96 were last up. The Leverkusen duo first lost 4-0 in the 2 vs 2 against Riad ‘ITSRIAAD’ Fazlija and Can ‘CANKOS’ Tuna. That was followed by a narrow 1-0 defeat for Sean Landwehr against Hannover’s Tugrulhan ‘YARONALDO’ Efe Yar.
The three defeats see the #B04eSports team drop from sixth to seventh in the table.
