Valtra to continue in the Farming Simulator League season 2023
Valtra, which has a strong presence in the Farming Simulator game and in the esports field revolving around the Farming Simulator League, will continue investing in the esport for the upcoming season.
We are excited to announce that we have signed new contracts with the players for the season: Lennox Haack, Sören Meyer & Anton Schacht! The team has appointed two reserve players both familiar from last season: Deik Otten and Luca Lodder.
The Valtra FSL team consists of three familiar names, who've been playing together since last season at the highest level of the FSL, representing Valtra.
"Our team goal is be top 3 in most of the tournaments and be able win few tournaments. It's great to be back at live events and we really enjoy playing on LANs. Overall, our goal is to be at least top 3 in season and get to the World Championships finals." says Lennox Haack, Team Captain of Valtra FSL.

Overall, our goal is to be at least top 3 in season and get to the World Championships finals.
The upcoming season will be exciting in many ways for both Valtra and our FSL-team, as the LAN tournaments are back. The first off-season tournament in which the team will be seen taking part will be organized next weekend, April 15-16, 2023, in Leipzig, Germany. In the tournament players will compete for a prize pool of €15,000!
The team has high expectations for the upcoming season, which is expected to begin shortly after this weekend's off-season Easter Challenge tournament.

Our goals are to win as many tournaments as possible, beat Trelleborg and excite as many people as possible at the many offline events where we will be playing tournaments!
Which teams do you think will be strongest in the upcoming season?
Trelleborg will definitely be a very difficult team to beat after being world champions the last two years. But also the team New Holland, which was a real surprise last season, will be interesting to watch. Of course we are also curious about the performance of any of the new teams.

The league will be lifted from the "old" Farming Simulator 19 into its successor 22. The new version offers many new features, from new vehicle physics to a larger fleet and much better graphics.
