The 23-year-old PlayStation pro has penned a deal to 30 June 2020 that takes him into his third season at Leverkusen. “I’m happy to be continuing to represent Bayer 04 and I will give my all in the forthcoming play-offs and the new season to achieve our joint targets,” said Hintz who will be at next weekend’s Global Series play-offs in Berlin (12 to 14 July) along with the other 59 best PlayStation gamers in the world looking to qualify for place at the FIFA eWorld Cup.
“We wanted to go into the new FIFA season with Marvin. He comes from Leverkusen, he identifies 100 per cent with the club and he knows what’s important to the club,” said Florian Dederichs, Head of Brand and Sales Management at Bayer 04.
Hintz, who became the first eSport gamer in the club’s history in December 2017, last season succeeded in qualifying for the international tournaments Atlanta (5th FUT Champions Cup ), London (Licensed Qualifying Event), Manchester (eChampions League) and Bucharest (3rd FUT Champions Cup). There he achieved his best return of the season with a top-eight finish. In the coming season, he will join his team-mate De Cae in competing in the newly created club championship, the Virtual Bundesliga (VBL).
