Bundesliga: Borussia Mönchengladbach recruits its eSports team with sponsor Postbank

The German bank Postbank has expanded its partnership with VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach (Bundesliga) to include eSports, announced the German club on 30/01/2018. Postbank is the main partner of the German club until 2019-20 (see below).

The main shirt sponsor of Borussia Mönchengladbach has became a partner during the qualifying stages, organised by the German club, to recruit two players on the FIFA video game (one on Xbox and one on PS4) who will take part in the "Tag Heuer Virtuellen Bundesliga 2018".

To do this, the German club has organised three online tournaments on 04, 07, and 13/02/2018 that give players the chance to qualify for the grand final scheduled at the Postbank distribution center in Bonn (GER) on 17/02/2018. Mönchengladbach will then send the two winners to the playoffs of the "Virtuellen Bundesliga" (VBL) on 10 and 11/03/2018 in Düsseldorf (GER).
