HSV is already a real Bundesliga club on the Instagram social media platform. With 431,000 followers, Hamburg ranks 11th among all German professional clubs. According to “the wrong 9” (as of October 31), they are the best second division team ahead of clubs like Werder (417,000) and Hertha (255,000).
But it’s blatant: neither HSV nor Werder can’t keep up with Delay Sports. The Berlin district league club with the stars of the gamer scene Elias Nerlich (24) and Sydney Friede (24) follow 456 000 people. Makes 10th place. Bayern are far ahead (34.6 million).

The meteoric rise is due to founder “Eligella” and ex-Hertha professional Friede. HSV striker Ransford Königsdörffer (21) also raves about them. Other scene greats are also at the start: TikTok star Diyar Acar (27) and ex-soccer player Kevin Pannewitz (31).
But the Berliners also bring their fans from gaming to real football.

There was a similarly young crowd in September at Hamburger Hoheluft at the first home game of SC Victoria 8 in district class B.
The Hamburg streamer kicks there “Trymacs” with his boys. Tickets were rare and gone quickly. In the meantime, Maximilian Stemmler’s (28) team has shown that they can also do something on the ball. Victoria 8 is just two points behind the leaders, the Eintracht Fuhlsbüttel prison team.
