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.
The Leverkusen PlayStation ace and his teammates first face VfL Wolfsburg on Tuesday tonight (23 November). The Wolves are currently seventh with just four points less than the Black and Reds.
FC St. Pauli, the second opponents for Leverkusen on the night, have one more point. The fifth-placed team from Hamburg play Bayer 04 at 20.00 CET on matchday 6.
All the matches involving the #B04eSports players will be streamed live on the Bayer 04 Twitch channel.
There were celebrations among those in black and red at the RheinEnergieSTADION. On Matchday 9 of the 2026/27 Bundesliga season, the Werkself beat 1. FC Köln 2-0 and registered their sixth successive win in the derby. Aleix Garcia put Bayer 04 in front after just seven minutes with a direct free kick. Leverkusen played with discipline and energy after that and didn't allow some fierce challenges to unsettle them. Patrik Schick made it 2-0 in the 86th minute, and Said El Mala's goal in stoppage time for Köln proved nothing more than consolation. Jonas Hofmann crowned the derby win with his 100th appearance for the club.
