In the first match of the evening, Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr was up against St Pauli’s Kamal ‘FCSP_KAMAL’ Kamboj – in the 1v1 on PlayStation 5. The Leverkusen player demonstrated his ability to fight back by securing a 2-2 draw after being 2-0.
The following 1v1 on Xbox Series S/X saw Fabian ‘B04_DUBZJE’ de Cae lose 4-2, and Landwehr and Paul ‘B04_PAUL’ Degner suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat in the 2v2 game. “We could have got a result,” said Degner afterwards. “We had more chances but unfortunately we weren’t able to take them.”
After the point earned earlier in the evening, PS5 pro Landwehr clocked up three against Hamburg SV: Thanks to a late goal, he beat Hamburg’s Daniel ‘HSV_DANIEL7’ Dwelk 1-0. De Cae took a 1-0 lead on Xbox but ended up losing 2-1.
The following 2v2 was won by Landwehr and Degner – the scoreline was 2-0 after 90 virtual minutes. Degner’s assessment: “We can be happy with the matchday against HSV.”
The Werkself eSports team are currently tenth in the table on 74 points. There is a six-point gap to the top six.
De Cae and Co. are back in action next Tuesday evening (15 February). From 18.00 CET, there are matches against SC Paderborn 07, and that is followed two hours later by the fixture with the current top team SV Werder Bremen.
