#B04eSports: ‘FURKY’ off to winning start

The successful start to the season continues for the Bayer 04 eSports players: The Werkself players went undefeated on matchdays 5 and 6 in the VBL Club Championship. A 3-3 draw with VfL Wolfsburg in the North-West division was followed by a 4-1 win against FC St. Pauli. The two-vs-two match against St. Pauli was postponed.

There was a curious start to the night from a Black and Red perspective: New signing Furkan ‘FURKY’ Kayacik, who made his debut for the Werkself, took an early lead in the one-on-one game against Wolfsburg. Then the connection went down. The referees’ decision: Start again at 0-0. The following 90 virtual minutes against Khalid ‘KHALIDGRL03’ Gürel ended all square at 1-1.

#B04eSports youngster Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr was on Xbox Series S/X on the night, as both Paul ‘B04_PAUL’ Degner and stalwart Fabian ‘B04_DUBZJE’ de Cae were sidelined due to illness. The 19-year-old secured a goalless draw with VfL as well as in the following doubles with ‘FURKY’. The overall result against the Wolves was a 3-3 draw.

The clash with FC St. Pauli started later in the evening – and it brought the first win for ‘FURKY’ in a #B04eSports shirt. The 22-year-old sealed a 2-1 victory on PS5 against Kamal ‘FCSP_Kamal’ Kamboj. His teammate ‘MARC_LDW23’ again drew 0-0 in his game.

As the two vs two match against St. Pauli has yet to be played, Bayer 04 are currently 4-1 up. The snapshot of the table in the North-West division shows Kayacik and Co. in third place.
