Mario ‘BULJI’ Lovrinovic joins Bayer 04 eSports team
A new signing for the #B04eSports squad: Mario ‘BULJI’ Lovrinovic succeeds the departing Paul ‘B04_PAUL’ Degner and is the new eSports talent at Bayer 04.
The 19-year-old from Münster came out on top in several qualifying tournaments against a large number of fellow competitors in the search for the next #B04 eSports talent and he won the finals tournament in the new Gaming Lounge at the BayArena.
Together with Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr and Furkan ‘FURKY’ Kayacik, Lovrinovic will be in the hunt for virtual points in the Virtual Bundesliga (VBL) with the Werkself. "With Marc, Mario and Furky we have put together a very strong squad who we think can go places," said Florian Dederichs, head of sponsorship, internationalisation and eSports at Bayer 04, looking forward to the start of the VBL season in the middle of November. Dederichs added: "We are confident of being able to compete again and are obviously aiming to qualify for the play-offs."
