The state of content creation: Testimonies from the Top Eleven Content Creators

Looks like it's my turn

---------

Greetings everybody,

I’m Miltiadis from Greece. My story begins way back in 2013. I was searching for a football-management game and Top Eleven sparked my interest. I quickly fell in love with the game and I kept playing with long breaks in between. However, I never took it seriously until the beginning of 2019. I remember it clearly; it was February 19’ when I decided that this time I won’t just be a casual player. I started reading a bunch of tutorials on this great forum and I joined many communities. Little did I know how the future would look like…

I started my YouTube journey in the summer of the same year. My plan definitely wasn’t to become a YouTuber. In fact, I hate standing in front of a camera .
I just wanted to test myself by uploading 2-3 tutorials, and, of course, to help others with what I knew by that time (not much basically). My first videos got more views than I’d ever imagine, and needless to say, I got addicted. Well, the rest is history, as they say. At the time of writing this, there are 10.700 awesome people part of my YT community, and I just achieved the huge milestone of 1.500.000 views. Honestly, I couldn’t ask for anything else.

With all of this being said, I have to admit that I was from the fortunate ones. Unfortunately, not everyone got the chance to go as far as I did, and I believe that Nordeus is partially responsible for that. Content creators play a determinant role in community-building, as well as the success of the game itself. It’s obvious, right? While it may look obvious, there is not much done, unfortunately.
Undoubtedly, Top Eleven should invest in its content creators and also establish a better relationship with them.

Inadequate support from the developer, lack of content ideas, and the known content creator struggles themselves all sum up and make it incredibly difficult to be a top eleven content creator. Now I see why we are not many. I see why so many before me abandoned their journey and looked at other games to pursue their dream, while others didn’t even start theirs. But I also see that there is hope. With the right changes & improvements, anything can be done. The other guys have already mentioned a few ideas in order to improve the situation, so there is no need to repeat them.

Anyways, the success of my YouTube channel has truly changed my life. Actually, it has given me the chance to do something I always wanted to do; to help & influence the community, and I’m eternally grateful for that. That being said, the journey as a content creator was not easy. Sometimes it was just too difficult that it made me ask myself “Is all of this worth it?”.
I’m also thankful for everything that Top Eleven has given me. Without the game itself, I wouldn’t be here writing this. But, for now, what we need is more attention & assistance from Nordeus. I strongly believe that if this is done, the future will be brighter than ever before, for everyone. Cheers.

Sincerely,
Miltiadis
