FIFA19-SUPERSTAR MICHAEL BITTNER

That’s Werder gambler “MegaBit”

Werder has not been able to celebrate a championship in the Bundesliga since 2004. On the virtual turf, a Bremen player has lifted the bowl into the air twice since the end of March. Michael “MegaBit” Bittner (20), FIFA19-professional of Bundesliga club Werder Bremen, won the team competition with his teammates at the end of March, last weekend the single player championship.

Through his triumphs, the Bavarian-born is now also the coal king of the German FIFA players. To date, he has won 107,000 euros in prize money.

Bittner, who lives in Bochum, is a FIFA superstar. The Werder professional is fourth on the Xbox world ranking list and FIFA national player of the DFB. His greatest dream is yet to come true: Become world champion.

He’s working hard for it. Bittner, who is called training monster in the scene, gambles up to 30 hours a week – on both consoles. The reason: The finals of the tournaments consist of outward and return matches and are played across consoles.

But before Bittner reaches for the next international title, he first wants to win the virtual North Derby for Werder.
