As on matchday one, Marvin ‘B04_M4RV’ Hintz went first when he came up against Yannick ‘Jeffryy95’ Reiners (ranked 74th in the world) playing for Borussia Mönchengladbach. 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.
True to the motto ‘take it game by game’, Marvin Hintz immediately looked forwards. The 91st player in the world rankings on Playstation 4 will be at the #3 FUT Champions Cup at the PGL Studios in Bucharest from 25 to 27 January. Marvin will be competing with 63 other players for a $50,000 prize plus 1,500 Global Series points. “The first two matchdays at the VBL did not go to plan so I want to use the tournament in Bucharest to get back on top of my game,” said the 22-year-old.
Up to 30 January, Bayer 04 play Hamburg SV, VfB Stuttgart, RB Leipzig and Arminia Bielefeld in the Virtual Bundesliga .
