Clear advantages on the virtual turf In the first home game in its history, beating the German eSport national team of the Netherlands.
A very loose 4:1 against the Netherlands, at the end of a clear case for the German Team. The national coach sees no weaknesses and also the opponents in the Oranje congratulate respectful. What is on the lawn, a beautiful dream for Fans of the German national football team, on the game console, it is a reality. In the first eLänderspiel against the Netherlands, world champion Mohammed “MoAuba” Harkous and his Team have left the opponents from the neighbouring country have no Chance.
“It was a difficult opponent. But we won with 4:1 to Play. We have signed up previously as well”, was “MoAuba” nevertheless, relieved. According to the FIFA eNations Cup in London in April, it was only the second appearance of the German enational team. In addition to “MoAuba” had called eBundestrainer Benedict “SaLz0r” Saltzer the German champion Michael “megabits” Bittner, Dylan “DullenMile” Neuhausen and Tim “TheStrxngeR” Katnawatos for the first home game of his team.
Two wins in the penalty shoot-out
And the are doing their job well. “DullenMike” and “TheStrxngeR” won shoot their shared opening game in the penalty. In the first single MoAuba suggested “” then, relatively sovereign, the Dutch number One Dani “Ajax Dani Hagebeuk. In the third game MoAuba “made” in a double with “megabits” premature victory. Against Bryan “Bryan hessing” Hessing and “Ajax Dani” followed by the German Duo, although long a delay, but won, finally, again in the penalty shoot-out, even virtually, is a German specialty.
“Overall we can be very satisfied that we have made a positive Start to the new season and will be a lot of Motivation to take”, said “megabits”.
Also successful in the doubles: Mohammed “MoAuba” Harkous (l.) and Michael “megabits” Bittner
Premiere for FIFA20
Both Teams played with their respective current teams. The German Top Scorer: Timo Werner and Marco Reus. It was the first official game with the new Version of the football simulation “FIFA”, gave each other an additional spice to the meeting. Since the player “FIFA20” could test hardly, it fell hard on the opponent, “MegaBit” analyzed: “In FIFA19 I know exactly how “Ajax Dani” plays. But the new Version has a completely different game dynamics. I had to look at their own performance and could then check what the opponent does.”
For “MoAuba” is the game by the Update demanding: “You must now defend manually, where the Computer has helped a lot. This prevents you turn yourself in just in the back.” This new feature also provides “MegaBit” as the most profound change: “The defenders have to intelligently go in the two fights, so the Ball goes back to the players. You will now be rewarded for defensive Pressing much more than before.”
A Studio atmosphere, rather than the stadium
The national players at the Controller solved the defensive tasks and in any case better than their real-life colleagues on the court. While the Team of national coach Joachim Löw in the sold-out national Park dispatch stadium, zockten the enational players in a sterile Studio atmosphere about a Kilometer away. Only via live stream on the Internet, eSports Fans were able to follow the games. A small Downer for the players, such as “MoAuba” admitted: “I’m always for the spectators. Online, many Fans are always there, but I don’t see it. If thousands of people are in the hall, like in the big tournaments, then I want to show them what I can do. I enjoy the atmosphere and am not nervous at all.”
Until the German enational team plays in a sold-out halls, it will take some time. After all, the focus of the makers of the already-established tournament series continues at the team level. To put you in the national Jersey in front of the Monitor and to hear the national anthem, is for the player and therefore, a very unfamiliar feeling, said, “MegaBit”: “It is something entirely different, to be able to his Nation represented, a very different pressure for us players. At Werder Bremen I don’t know that I’m replaceable. In the case of the enational team it’s like in real football. If I don’t perform there, no more am I for the next Time, maybe even the first Option. In the end, I enjoy the games but even more so, because it is a recognition to his Nation represented.”
No rivalry between Germany and the Netherlands
And that too against the old football rivals from the Netherlands. Wherein the Simulation does not differ perhaps most significantly from the reality: “There is between us the rivalry, as in real football”, takes “MoAuba” the explosiveness out of the pairing. “It was the first eLänderspiel between the two Nations. Now this is no classic Games from the past that would justify a rivalry.”
But the history of the enational team has also started just.
