The opening two-v-two game saw Marc “MARC_LDW23” Landwehr and Sean “SEAN_LDW07” Landwehr play out a 1-1 draw against Denis “DENIS” Müller and Tim Niclas “THESTRXNGER” Katnawatos. Marc then beat Katnawatos 3-2, but his cousin Sean lost 1-0 to Müller, meaning the tie ended in a draw.
Leverkusen now have 53 points on the board in the northwest table, just one ahead of Fortuna Düsseldorf in eighth and Hamburg in ninth. Borussia Dortmund and Köln sit 10th and 11th respectively with 50 points each and are still in contention for the play-offs, which see the teams placed third through eighth in both divisions attempt to qualify for the finals.
It means there’s all to play for on the final matchday next week. That sees the Bayer 04 eSports team take on Magdeburg on Tuesday, 5 March.
