Bundesliga
The Virtual Bundesliga Grand Final by ING is underway. With the group stage and knockout rounds completed, it's over to the Grand Final on Sunday, 28 June.
This year’s tournament is being hosted online with 24 participants representing 13 different Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 clubs. They were divided into two groups of six per console (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One), with the top four in each group going through to the knockout stage.
The knockouts consisted of the round of 16 and quarter-finals. The winners progressed to the semi-finals on Sunday (12pm CEST/11am BST/6am ET), which represent the console finals.
The PlayStation 4 side of the draw sees Kai 'deto' Wollin face Mohammed 'MoAuba' Harkous, while Dylan 'DullenMIKE' Neuhausen contests the Xbox One semi-final against Yannic 'Yannic0109' Bederke.
The Grand Final culminates in the cross-platform final to crown the champion.

They also boast reigning German eFootball Champion Michael ‘MegaBit’ Bittner in their ranks, who qualified alongside teammate Erhan ‘DrErhano’ Kayman.
Greuther Fürth, Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Wolfsburg and Bochum completed the top six and are entitled to put forward one player per console.
The remaining 12 players came through the VBL Playoffs, which was contested between two players from the clubs that finished seventh to 16th in the Club Championship and 108 other players from the VBL Open, including last year’s finalist and reigning world champion ‘MoAuba’, representing Wolfsburg.
RB Leipzig, Hamburg, Hertha Berlin, VfB Stuttgart, Bayern Munich, Cologne and Augsburg are the other clubs represented in the group stage.
