The course is set to defend the title: RB Leipzig has once again won the South-East division championship of the FIFA Virtual Bundesliga Club Championship. In the final tournament they could soon defend their title in the Cologne Strassenkicker Base.
“I’m lucky to have such good teammates this season,” said Richard “RBLZ_Gaucho” Hormes in an interview after the decisive game. “It was the first time in my career that I had a not-so-good season,” he added self-critically. His teammates are FIFA World Champion Umut “RBLZ_Umut” and the exceptional talent Anders “RBLZ_Vejrgang” Vejrgang.
VBL CC: RB Leipzig wants to get involved at the front
In any case, Umut has his sights firmly set on defending his title. With St. Pauli there is already a “very, very strong opponent” in the group phase, said the individual world champion, but Leipzig is also one of the strongest teams. “We just have to concentrate on playing our game. Then we can be up front again,” said Umut.
Behind Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt qualified directly for the final tournament of the VBL CC. FC Augsburg, Karlsruher SC, SV Sandhausen and 1. FSV Mainz 05 also made it into the playoffs from the south-east squadron.
Hansa Rostock is North West Champion
In the north-west division, FC Hansa Rostock defended its division title in a thriller on the last double match day. The Rostock team celebrated with the same number of points as FC St. Pauli thanks to the better goal difference at the top. FC Schalke 04, VfL Wolfsburg, 1. FC Köln and SV Werder Bremen also qualified for the playoffs.
