While the “Rebels” from Leipzig managed to pass the group stage with great defeat and difficulties at the beginning, they almost skipped the final. All eyes were on Umut Gultekin and Anders Weigergang. The first is 19-years-old and is a fixture in the Virtual Bundesliga (VBL), having already won the singles title last season and was named e-Football Player of the Year by Kicker magazine.

On the other hand, Vejrgang was not allowed to participate in the major tournaments at that time, as the Dane had only been 16 since January. But that didn’t stop the gaming prodigy from tearing up the competition with every trick in the Sunday book. In the final, Vejrgang beat Paulis Mustafa Cankal 7-0 on Xbox. As for the rating: These scores are extremely rare in a football simulation at this level – just like a real ball.
