#B04eSports: Rückrunde opener in the VBL-CC

After a four-week winter break, the #B04eSports team kick off the Rückrunde in the VBL Club Championship against Hamburg SV. Despite the disappointing Hinrunde, the Black and Reds are targeting seventh place and associated qualification for the play-offs. Ahead of the forthcoming offline matchday, the aim is to pick up three important points. Markus Hüttemann, who joins Justin Schwier in the VBL squad as the second e-talent from the the B04eAcademy, could help out for the first time and he will be available for the rest of the VBL season 2024/25.

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.

Offline matchday in Dortmund

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.

New signing in VBL SQUAD

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.
