3 gaming industry leaders 🤝, 50 years of combined experience📱, one great conversation🎙️! We had the pleasure of welcoming Yaron Leyvand, EVP of Mobile Studios, and Scott Koenigsberg, Chief Product Officer, to Belgrade for a special edition of our traditional fireside chat with @Nordeus CEO Branko Milutinović. Here’s a glimpse of what we explored: 👉 What does it take to build games that last? Did you know that 11 @zynga games have been live for over a decade - including #TopEleven? 👉 Is there a “secret formula” for longevity? While each Zynga studio has its own approach, one thing is consistent: a strong, long-term investment in growing games. 👉 How do we approach creating new games today? From innovation to long-term thinking, we unpacked the philosophy behind building gaming experiences that last. Thank you for joining us in Belgrade! 🙌 We're already looking forward to the next one! ✨

16 years ago, our journey started... Since then, there have been millions of matches played, trophies lifted, rivalries born, alarms set for transfers, hearts broken in stoppage time… and memories made - together. 💙 That wouldn’t be possible without you, Managers. To celebrate everything we built together, birthday gifts are waiting for you in-game.🎁 And the Golden 16 celebration is still going strong, with more challenges, more goals, and more rewards ahead. This squad is 16 years old now, but it still feels like we're just getting started! Thank you for playing Top Eleven!

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, to Nordeus. With a full auditorium at Nordeus, Branko and Strauss sat down for a traditional fireside chat. We discussed the state of the industry, the future of AI, and our shared approach to building hit games played by millions. 📲 Strauss also took questions from the audience, but one exchange stood out: “What’s one question leaders should ask themselves more often?”. His answer was simple “What value did I add to my team this week?” - a key takeaway that stayed with us. Everyone left the conversation encouraged and proud, with a renewed focus on building teams and moving the needle of our games! 🙌
