Despite going behind twice, Marvin kept his cool: The game ended all square at 2-2. The second match of the day saw Bayer 04 suffer the first defeat of the season: Fabian ‘B04_DUBZJE’ De Cae lost 2-1, after being 1-0 up, against Michael ‘X Phenomeno X’ Gherman. The visitors from Mönchengladbach came out on top in the two-v-two game with another 2-1 victory. Georgios ‘Georgios7’ Papatolis joined the action without having played a one-v-one game before.
