Leo Lion King likes to spend his free time at the console. Now the dynamo player has scored in the virtual Bundesliga Home Challenge.
Dresden – “It was mega fun,” says console king Justin Löwe. The dynamo midfielder sat on the controller on three of four game days of the “Bundesliga Home Challenge” for the SGD and scored many points.

He took two wins and one draw and remained unbeaten. The victory at the end over RB Leipzig was outstanding (TAG24 reported). “That was the cherry on the cream cake,” laughs the 21-year-old.
On the first matchday of the virtual Bundesliga, Marco Terrazzino and Baris Atik tried out against Eintracht Frankfurt (2: 8), after which “Leo” Löwe came along with Marcel Gramann from the “404 Multigaming” team to form the duo of Schwarz -Yellow.
The two won 6: 4 against Leverkusen, with the dynamo professional shooting Brazilian Wendell 5: 1 from the Playstation. They lost 2: 3 against Hertha, but Löwe won 1: 1 in his individual game against Pascal Köpke.
And finally the Saxon duel against RB Leipzig. The dynamic clean the Brause boys 6: 2. Löwe defeated Tom Krauss 3: 0. “Honestly,” Leo chats loose.
“Even if it was only on the console, I really wanted to win the game. It was hot there,” he says. The explosiveness spurred him on.
“Overall it was totally interesting to have a look. Marcel’s ‘404 Multigaming’ team helped me a lot. I was also thrilled to see who was playing against whom – for example, as referee Denis Aytekin against Gladbach’s Jonas Hofmann or how many people watched the games on the computer. I watched myself when it wasn’t my turn, “said” Leo “euphorically.
On the first day of play, more than two million fans watched the Home Challenge. “A completely crazy number. It shows me that eSports is on the rise. It will increase in the coming years,” he is certain.

Even if he prefers to chase the round leather on the lawn, enjoys every minute of the game with the team, he often sits in front of the console in his spare time: “I play a lot, very much to the dismay of my girlfriend,” he smiles.
“Right now, it’s a welcome change. It’s kind of football anyway. You play with your team, you can cheer and be happy,” he describes the feeling. But Justin Löwe will also be happy when things really get going again and not just virtual counters. “Oh, yes,” he only says.
