This particular type of managing game is based on BVB players real-life perfomances. Fans can buy, sell or train their players in order to improve their own team. They are in online competition with other dedicated players and can be rewarded at the end of the season, if their selected squad does well.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;However, this extra benefit for fans stands in no correlation to active BVB business unit actions. Dortmund will continue to cooperate with the gaming industry, but does currently not see gaming as part of their business model by implementing an e-Sports team.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"style\":\"2b\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-image-single {\"migrateBlock\":true,\"title\":\"\",\"images\":[{\"width\":720,\"height\":1040,\"file\":\"2016\/10\/egaming-Dortmund_M1.jpg\",\"filesize\":58214,\"sizes\":{\"medium\":{\"file\":\"egaming-Dortmund_M1-208x300.jpg\",\"width\":208,\"height\":300,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":10245},\"large\":{\"file\":\"egaming-Dortmund_M1-709x1024.jpg\",\"width\":709,\"height\":1024,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":74141},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"egaming-Dortmund_M1-150x150.jpg\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":4992},\"trp-custom-language-flag\":{\"file\":\"egaming-Dortmund_M1-8x12.jpg\",\"width\":8,\"height\":12,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":356}},\"image_meta\":{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\",\"keywords\":[]},\"id\":4243,\"alt\":\"\",\"caption\":\"Head of New Media at Borussia Dortmund\",\"description\":\"\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/egaming-Dortmund_M1.jpg\",\"title\":\"egaming-dortmund_m1\",\"aspect_ratio\":0.6923076923076923,\"focalPointLeft\":0.5,\"focalPointTop\":0}],\"headlines\":[\"David G\u00f6rges\"],\"showCaptions\":[true],\"portraitMode\":[true],\"image\":{\"width\":720,\"height\":1040,\"file\":\"2016\/10\/egaming-Dortmund_M1.jpg\",\"filesize\":58214,\"sizes\":{\"medium\":{\"file\":\"egaming-Dortmund_M1-208x300.jpg\",\"width\":208,\"height\":300,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":10245},\"large\":{\"file\":\"egaming-Dortmund_M1-709x1024.jpg\",\"width\":709,\"height\":1024,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":74141},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"egaming-Dortmund_M1-150x150.jpg\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":4992},\"trp-custom-language-flag\":{\"file\":\"egaming-Dortmund_M1-8x12.jpg\",\"width\":8,\"height\":12,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":356}},\"image_meta\":{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\",\"keywords\":[]},\"id\":4243,\"alt\":\"\",\"caption\":\"Head of New Media at Borussia Dortmund\",\"description\":\"\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/egaming-Dortmund_M1.jpg\",\"title\":\"egaming-dortmund_m1\",\"aspect_ratio\":0.6923076923076923,\"focalPointLeft\":0.5,\"focalPointTop\":0},\"style\":\"Narrow\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-article-multi {\"migrateBlock\":true,\"title\":\"\",\"mode\":\"manual\",\"numArticles\":1,\"manualArticles\":[{\"id\":2661}],\"aspect\":\"1\"} \/-->","title":"Borussia Dortmund widersetzt sich dem Trend zum E-Gaming","excerpt":"\u00a0\"Noch eine Minute der Verl\u00e4ngerung. In diesem Spielzug steckt einiges an Potenzial. Guter Touch. Jetzt kann er ihn \u00fcberqueren. Tackling. Oh! Das ist ein Elfmeter! Was f\u00fcr ein Moment, den sie verschenkt haben. Der Spieler kommt jetzt hoch. Was f\u00fcr eine brillante Ber\u00fchrung und er ist drin! Die Menge ist v\u00f6llig aus dem H\u00e4uschen. Es ist sicher vorbei. Ja, da ist der Schlusspfiff. Herzlichen Gl\u00fcckwunsch an den neuen Bundesligameister!\"\nWenn Sie dachten, dass wir hier von Bayern M\u00fcnchen sprechen, liegen Sie falsch. Und es ist auch nicht die deutsche Bundesliga. Es handelt sich um eine Szene aus einem Spiel der Virtuellen Bundesliga von TAG Heuer - ein Fu\u00dfballspiel, bei dem die Spieler Avatare sind, die von Teenagern mit Hilfe von Game Controllern bewegt werden.\nDer virtuelle Fu\u00dfball boomt. Gamer aus ganz Deutschland treten in EA Sports \"FiFA\" auf Sonys PlayStation 4 gegeneinander an, und Sky Sports hat sich sogar die \u00dcbertragungsrechte f\u00fcr diese virtuellen Spiele gesichert. Kein Wunder also, dass auch reale Fu\u00dfballvereine auf den Zug aufgesprungen sind. Die deutschen Bundesligisten VfL Wolfsburg und Schalke 04 haben professionelle E-Sport-Teams gegr\u00fcndet, die aus Spielern bestehen und in der so genannten \"TAG Heuer Virtual Bundesliga\" antreten.\nAber was ist mit dem PUMA-Verein Borussia Dortmund? Der Aufstieg des E-Sports ist auch den Managern des Vereins nicht verborgen geblieben. Doch im Gegensatz zu Schalke und Wolfsburg hat sich der BVB entschieden, nicht in den e-Sports-Sektor einzusteigen. F\u00fcr sie ist e-Sports ein eigenst\u00e4ndiges Gesch\u00e4ft, das sich nicht einfach \"nebenbei\" in ihre Vereinsstruktur integrieren l\u00e4sst.","status":"publish","password":"","name":"borussia-dortmund-widersteht-dem-trend-zu-spielen","modified":"2025-09-19 15:06:36","modified_gmt":"2025-09-19 15:06:36","content_filtered":"","parent":0,"type":"post","mime_type":"","template":"","category":[18],"datetime_local":"20.
