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.
