Tornado Games Appoints Julia Weygandt as COO
Tornado Games has strengthened its senior management team with the appointment of industry veteran Julia Weygandt as Chief Operations Officer.
Weygandt has had a long and successful career in the global gambling sector, starting in 2005 when she joined German land-based giant the Gauselmann Group as an apprentice before becoming an executive assistant. She then moved to the Schmidt Gruppe before entering the online sector with GAMOMAT where she worked her way up to Head of International Partnerships.
She joins Tornado Games from Red Rhino Limited where she was Head of Business Development.
As Chief Operations Officer, Weygandt has been tasked with helping to take the studio from start-up to rising star by building out the team, devising effective strategies and growth plans, assessing and fine-tuning internal processes and leading the company into new jurisdictions.
Thaluana Muscat, Head of Sales at Tornado Games, said: “All journeys begin with a single step but today we are taking a giant leap forward by welcoming Julia to the team as our new Chief Operations Officer.
“She brings a wealth of experience, passion and vision to the team and we are thrilled to have her on board. Tornado Games is the new kid on the block, but we have ambitious plans to make our mark on the sector by developing games that players want to play. That someone of Julia’s calibre wants to join the business is a testament to our vision and the progress we have already made.”
Julia Weygandt, Chief Operations Officer at Tornado Games, said: “I am so excited to join Tornado Games and to be working alongside such an incredible team. The studio is already blazing a trail, but the best is yet to come, and I’m honoured to be playing a part in plotting the journey we will take from start-up to reaching our ultimate goal of being a major player in the slot provision space.
“Our roadmap is frankly awesome, and you’ll be hearing much more from Tornado Games over the coming months as we release new games and announce operator partnerships in markets across Europe and beyond.”

BLAST and GamingMalta announce multi-year partnership including a state-of-the-art studio and hub of esports activity on the island

Competitive entertainment company BLAST and GamingMalta, an independent non-profit foundation set up by the Government of Malta, are proud to announce a transformative three-year partnership. The partnership will see Malta become a premier destination for world-class esports events and innovation, with BLAST debuting in Malta with the BLAST Premier Bounty S2 in August 2025.
The partnership will initially host nine major international esports tournaments in Malta, featuring some of the most prestigious competitions from BLAST’s global calendar, including the BLAST Premier and BLAST Slam circuits. In addition to these headline events, BLAST will establish a permanent esports broadcasting facility equipped with cutting edge technology that will span over 1,000m2 hosting Tier 1 esports tournaments and an office presence on the island, creating a dedicated team and infrastructure to support content production, operations, and long-term engagement in the region.
As part of the collaboration, GamingMalta will also benefit from global visibility across all BLAST Premier and BLAST Slam broadcasts, with millions of fans tuning in around the world. Beyond tournaments and exposure, the partnership also underscores a shared commitment to community development and education.
BLAST will support GamingMalta’s mission by investing in local esports initiatives, forging connections with universities and grassroots organisations, and helping create meaningful career opportunities for Maltese players, content creators, and aspiring professionals within the gaming industry.
Together, BLAST and GamingMalta will position Malta as a global esports destination, leveraging high-profile events to attract international teams, fans, and media coverage. The initiative is also expected to generate significant economic benefits through increased tourism, hospitality demand, and international business.
Silvio Schembri, Minister for the Economy, Enterprise & Strategic Projects for Malta, added: “This partnership with BLAST – a premier global esports entertainment company – aligns perfectly with the Government of Malta’s Vision 2050, which places digital innovation, youth engagement, and the creative economy at the heart of our national strategy. It reflects our ongoing commitment to positioning Malta as a hub for future-facing industries, while also creating real opportunities for our young people through education, careers, and international exposure. By investing in strategic collaborations like this, we continue to build an economy that is innovative, resilient, and globally relevant.”
Robbie Douek, CEO of BLAST, said: “Our partnership with GamingMalta makes a major milestone for BLAST having secured a multi year partnership to elevate esports and gaming in Malta. We are excited to bring live output, a new studio and competitive entertainment to the island.”
Ivan Filletti CEO of GamingMalta remarked “At GamingMalta, we are committed to nurturing every level of the gaming ecosystem – from grassroots to global. This multi-year partnership with BLAST is a bold step forward in our relentless journey to continue establishing Malta as a world-class esports hub. We will continue to champion our ‘Home of Gaming Excellence’ vision by delivering top-tier events and creating new opportunities for the next generation of esports talent.”
The BLAST Premier Bounty S2 features 32 teams from across the Counter-Strike scene battling for a spot at our LAN finals and a slice of the $500,000 USD prize pool. The innovative Bounty format allows teams to select their opponents and utilize wager mechanics to raise the stakes and chase riches.
