VBL starts again: in the future more time for the open

Ambitious FIFA players will have a month longer for a month to qualify for the playoffs of the Virtual Bundesliga (VBL). The VBL Open launched on November 1 will be held for the first time from November to March and thus over five months instead of the usual four.

With this modification, the wishes of the community is taken into account, Head of VBL Jörg politely recently explained in the VBL Jörg Esport Interview.

In addition, the number of games is reduced, in the future only 60 - instead of 90 - ranges are completed within a calendar month, to be completed to come to the ranking of the VBL Open.

Community tournaments provide four playoff participants

The distribution of qualifiers is also changed: each ten players at PlayStation 4 or 5 as well as Xbox One or Series S / X create the leap into the playoffs. Another four tickets for the final round will be awarded for selected community tournaments as well as the VBL Club Championship.

In the spring of 2022, the 128 best players fight in the playoffs around the entry into the Grand Final. And of course the continuation of the dream of the great prize money: as in the previous year, a total price fee of 100,000 euros awaits the participants of the Grand Final.

Prize money and media partner for Club Championship

Speaking of prize money: This is distributed in the 2021/22 season for the first time in the VBL Club Championship, in the pool are 65,000 euros.

This is a decision we made together with the clubs and from whom we believe that they maps the good development of the VBL Club Championship, said Head of VBL politely. The prize money represents an additional sporting incentive behind the performance of a club.

The first double game day will take place on the 9th respectively 10 November. New are the FC Hansa Rostock and the FC Ingolstadt, which are eligible as a result of the ascension in the 2nd football Bundesliga. You replace the resident Eintracht Braunschweig and FC Würzburger VBL Jörgs.

Live pictures The VBL Club Championship will give it for the first time via MagententV on dabeiTV. The Cologne station is on board in the new season as a media partner and is transferred to all matches selected in all matchdays. To what extent and how that affects the usual transfers on the Twitch channel of the Virtual Bundesliga, the VBL has not yet been communicated.
