The VBL organisers said safe travel to their clubs could not be guaranteed for players because of the current weather situation. The double matches for the #B04eSports players against the Hamburg teams will be played on 16 February.
That meant the full focus of the Leverkusen players was on the singles matches on the night. Youngster Marc ‘Marc_LDW23’ Landwehr kicked off against FCSP on PlayStation 4 – and he immediately picked up the first three points for his club. In the clash with St. Pauli’s Tom ‘FCSP TOM’ Köst, the Leverkusen player gained the upper hand with goals from the virtual Yannick Schlößer (44’) and Lucas Alario (70’). Köst had levelled through Daniel Kofi-Kyereh (54’).
In the second match of the night, Fabian ‘B04_DUBZJE’ De Cae played Mustafa ‘XMUSTI19’ Cankal on XBOX. The experienced #B04eSports player was on the wrong end of a 4-1 scoreline. De Cae was only able to score a consolation goal through Schlößer in the closing stages.
In his second match of the night, Landwehr took on Hamburg's Cina ‘LOSTINTHEWAVESZ’ Hosseindjani. The Leverkusen player lead 2-0 and 3-1 in the first half. He took the latter advantage into the break. But, in spite of a continuing good performance, Landwehr conceded two goals late on; Hosseindjani picked up a point. The previous displays from the 18-year-old newcomer 'MARC _LDW23' have been impressive: He remains unbeaten after five singles matches for Bayer 04 in the VBL (three wins, two draws).
To round off the double matchday, De Cae secured another three points for the Black and Reds on Xbox: The 90 virtual minutes ended with a convincing 2-0 win against Hamburg's Leon ‘HSV LEON’ Krasniqi. That means the Werkself are still in sixth place in the VBL table.
In addition to the previously mentioned doubles matches against St. Pauli and HSV, there are other clashes in store for the #B04eSports players on 16 February: The first opponents are VfL Bochum (18.00 CET) and that is followed by the virtual meeting with Schalke 04.

In the 3-2 defeat at Bundesliga newcomers SV 07 Elversberg, the Werkself found the back of the net in the closing stages and, with a bit of luck, could still have equalised. “Today, our play wasn’t good enough, particularly when it came to the basics,” said head coach Carles Martínez. Like the boss, Ibrahim Maza also wants to learn from the match and look ahead: “Next week, people should be able to see from the very first minute that we want it more than our opponents.” The Werkself review on the Bundesliga opener in 2026/27.

In the closing stages, the Werkself rallied and staged a late comeback with goals from Patrik Schick (77’) and Christian Kofane (90+1’), but the Black and Reds were denied an equaliser.
