The e-sports team of RB Leipzig takes the first place of the group after the first matchday of the EA Sports Cup in FIFA 23. World champion Umut "RBLZ Umut" Gültekin and Anders "Vejrgang" Vejrgang remained unbeaten (2-2-0).

Against the Futwiz team, RBLZ Gaming showed mental strength. At half-time, the duo were four goals behind. Then a chase for catch-up began: after two goals, the smile on Vejrgang's face returned, after the third goal, the fist of the 16-year-old Dane jumped into the air, when equalizing (4:4) in the 90th minute of the game, he jumped out of the chair.

"I believed in us because constant pressure is really good this year," his team partner Umut said in an interview after the game. With the setting "constant pressure", the computer-controlled players automatically start with constant pressing on the opponents. At FIFA 23, it is very difficult to get out of this pressure, Umut continued. "You should never give up this year".

Also in the match against Guild Esports, Leipzig got only a draw (1:1). In the interview, Vejrgang revealed himself: "I know that Umut and I can perform better," said the Dane. "We are still the first, which shows how well the team is working.»
