After two wins and two defeats, 'Moauba' had to achieve third success in the fifth round of the Swiss system to move to the double-elimination bracket. However, the dream of the Grand Final burst against the Herthan Eren 'Erenpyrz030' Poyraz (0: 2, 3: 3), the world champion was eliminated.

A similar fate, among other things, suffered from other managing players Kai 'Hensoo' Hense, Michael 'Phenomeno' Gherman, Christian 'Ximpact10' Judt, Koray 'Kkoray_' Kücükgünar or Andreas 'Andy' Gube. The list of prominent players who have already been eliminated in the Swiss rounds of play-offs is long.

But the favorite loss was also in the subsequent double elimination system. At the Playstation, Max 'Diviners' Gröne, who was still a high-flyer in the Grand Final in 2021, failed in the third round of the Loser Brackets on his own Werder colleague Jamie 'SVW_Chaser' Bartel.

Denis 'Denis' Müller - VBL Club Championship winner from 2021 - had to give up a round later Thomas 'Xthomas_om' Ostermeier, Niklas 'nraseck' Raseck was ultimately subject to 'SVM_Vorbi'. Former German individual champion Cihan 'Cihan' Yasarlar pulled the loser against Fabiano 'VBL-Epixal7' Loos.

Another ex-master, Yannic 'Yannic0109' Bederke, lost the decisive last game against Fabio 'H96_FABIO' INTALTHAL. Benikt 'Bene_Cr7x' Bauer, Lukas 'Sakul' Vonderheide and Eleftherios 'BMG_LEFTI' ILIAS are also scratched past the Grand Final.

'Dullenmike' preserves chance of revenge

From the frustrated losers to the radiant winners: Dylan 'Dullenmike' Neuhausen prevailed on the Xbox and can continue to dream of the revenge in the Grand Final after the final defeat in 2021. In the final of the Winner Brackets, he beat his neo-comrade Lenard 'Xennyyy' Peters (3: 0, 3: 1).

Rostock's shooting star Levy Finn 'Levyfinn' Rieck also reaches for the German FIFA individual championship title, he then asserted himself in the Loser Bracket against 'Xennyyy' (0: 0, 3: 1). Tim 'Thestrxnger' Katnawatos solved his Grand Final ticket with a 3: 1 and a 2: 3 against 'Moauba' cone 'Erenpyrz030'.

The Playstation had caused big surprises in particular, Antonio 'Antonioradelja' Radelja and Serhat 'Serhatinho' Öztürk are still the most famous finalists. Players like Haci 'Hacigs_1905_' Saraclu and already mentioned 'VBL-EPIXAL7' are not under contract with any large club.
