#B04eSports: Second place after two wins

The #B04 eSports players continue to advance towards top spot in the Virtual Bundesliga (VBL). The Black and Red duo beat both VfL Wolfsburg and FC Schalke 5-2 on Wednesday night.

That means Leverkusen’s pro gamers Kai ‘Deto’ Wollin and Fabian ‘B04_Dubzje’ de Cae are second in the VBL at least until tonight when Werder Bremen (currently third) meet FC Augsburg.

Four points from individual games

Former world champion ‘Deto’ started with a 1-1 draw in his individual game against Wolfsburg’s Benedikt ‘Salzor’ Saltzer on PlayStation in the evening and he said afterwards: “I had three really good chances before my opener. My opponent sat back. The goal against came from a counter-attack and that shouldn’t have happened.” His partner ‘B04_Dubzje’ won his one-on-one 2-0 on XBOX against VfL player Benedikt ‘BeneCR7X’ Bauer.

The doubles game against the Wolves ended all-square at 2-2. The #B04eSports players were “a bit disappointed” with the result but they did achieve a clear victory overall and extended their lead over Wolfsburg. De Cae: “So we can live with the five points.”

goal drought

The Royal Blues were next up. Two of the three clashes with Schalke 04 on matchday 17 ended in goalless draws: ‘Deto’ and Schalke’s Julius ‘S04_Julii’ Kühle drew 0-0 on PlayStation but Wollin extended his run of five individual matches unbeaten.

In the doubles game with the Royal Blues also ended goalless. “It was 90 minutes of a midfield battle,” said the disappointed #B04eSports players. Only ‘B04_Dubzje’ scored in his game on XBOX with a brace to clock up a 2-0 win against ‘S04 Tim Latka’ Schwartmann.

In the top six

With four matchdays to go, Leverkusen have a ten-point lead over seventh place, which is the first spot that does not guarantee a place in the VBL Grand Final. That tournament determines the Individual Champion of Germany.

The teams in the VBL positions seven to sixteen provide two players each who can qualify for the VBL play-off. In addition, there are other players in the VBL Open who can compete as individuals on FIFA 20.
