The #B04eSports-Team with Marc 'MARC_LDW23' Landwehr and Sean 'Sean_LDW07' Landweh finished the first half of the season on six points in fourteenth place with just one win to their credit. That did not live up to their own expectations. The Black and Reds are looking to secure a second win against Hamburg SV on Thursday, 23 January brackets at 20.30 CET.
The Hamburg team are currently ninth on ten points in the VBL CC table in the North West division. Three points would underpin the current ambitions of the Leverkusen eSports players to qualify for the play-offs, as well as sending out a message to the competition at the start in 2025. They are currently four points behind Werder Bremen who are eighth in the lowest position of the play-off places. The match can be followed on Twitch, on the Bayer 04 app or live in the Bayer 04 Fanwelt.
Five days later, on Tuesday 28 January, there is Matchday 11 at 21.00 CET, which is the first offline matchday in 2025 as well. All clubs in the division travel to Dortmund to face each other. For the #B04eSports team the opposition is SC Preußen Münster. They are currently two points above the Black and Reds in twelfth spot.
Markus Hüttemann is the second eAcademy player alongside Justin Schwier to join the Leverkusen VBL squad. The youngster can officially take part in VBL CC fixtures from the start of the Rückrunde. Markus has been a member of the eSports section under the Cross since September. Selection had to wait until his 16th birthday according to DFL rules.
