The Leverkusen eSports players continue to lead the way going into the third Virtual Bundesliga (VBL) of the current campaign. The #B04eSports players are top on 20 points with a number of teams chasing. “We have to produce top performances again and again each week to maintain our position in the leading group,” said Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr looking at the strength of the rival teams.
