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.

Less than a year ago, Kerim Alajbegovic moved from the Bayer 04 U19s to Austrian top-flight club FC Red Bull Salzburg. The forward’s development since then has been impressive. In 36 matches, including in the UEFA Europa League, the 18-year-old has scored 14 goals. In the summer, Alajbegovic, now a Bosnia international, will return to Leverkusen - and thus not only achieve the next milestone still early in his career, but also enrich the Werkself squad with his footballing versatility and determination.
