#B04eSports

Bayer 04 Leverkusen have been active in the area of eSports since November 2017 and since then have had the target of playing a one-two between the football pitch and the virtual pitch.

Currently there are two talented eSports players, Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr and Sean ‘SEAN_LDW07’ Landwehr, in the B04eSports team. They represent the Black and Reds in national competitions such as the Virtual Bundesliga (VBL) and the DFB ePokal as well as internationally in the EA Global Series. Their performance have already attracted great attention and firmly established Bayer 04 in eSports.

The strategic focus of the Leverkusen eSports section is based on three key areas: training, technical affinity and entertainment. These key points are not only firmly anchored in external communication but also within the team.

#B04eSports: Leverkusen players compete for German individual title

Just over a fortnight ago, Marc and Sean Landwehr narrowly missed out on reaching the final of the DFB ePokal 2026, and now the VBL Grand Final by WOW, the German Individual Championship, awaits them for their last chance of a title in the current eSports season. However, the Leverkusen eSports players must first qualify for the offline knockout round in Hamburg via the online group stage. And the first of initially four matches is already a tough one: in Group 1, Marc still has a score to settle with his mate and opponent Janis ‘jistennsq’ Pütz from Borussia Mönchengladbach, while Sean faces the equally strong Denis ‘Denis’ Müller from VfB Stuttgart in Group 2.
