TeamLiquid is looking to recruit writers to help with covering the various BW leagues in 2017 as well as individuals who would be interested in helping keep BW TLPD up to date.
Description: As a BW writer, you will be responsible for writing recaps, previews, feature articles and more as needed. The written pieces can be concise or lengthy, heavily dependent on what is being covered. They should be done in a timely manner as well. Positions are not paid and are on a strictly voluntary basis.
How to Apply: Send an application containing the following information to BigFan and/or 2Pacalypse-.
Your TeamLiquid.net ID and Skype information. For coordination purposes, we require writers to use Skype.
Short introduction and relevant background information as it pertains to this position. Please do not send resumes.
Availability and desired workload.
Applications are open indefinitely.
Two test writing assignments must also be completed.
Write a recap of a single day or an event that recently unfolded in the BW scene (GG event, ATB2 and other online tournaments are options). Try to tell a story and be as creative as you like. Be concise or go all out; there are no limitations so long as the piece is interesting to read. Examples provided above are for reference only and show several different approaches when it comes to doing recaps.
Write an article previewing a group(s) or a main storyline leading into the tournament. A main storyline includes, but is not limited to, looking at a tournament favorite or popular player going into the event and any tournament specific storylines. Considering that ASL4 is set to start towards the end of August, a preview article could focus on that tournament in particular. The possibility of Flash taking a third ASL championship is one example. Be as creative as you like and make the article an entertaining read.

Amazing, I would love to help but I would rather be involved with TLStrat BW Style. I will ponder the thought of applying, I think I could do well....thanks for this awesome opportunity for everyone!
im really against this if you take a look at what kind of ''content'' sc2 writers put out its a complete joke every tiny event or round that is done in some tourney is posted in an article its non-content. prefer people to write something interesting instead of the obvious

but isn't that what we do too, we do a recap and preview of each game week of a tournament and the reality is that even that we are stretched thin to do with our real life commitments.

we are recruiting so that we can do more stuff and bring back ABC, it comes down to interest, time and commitment.

Seriously why not put out ideas for "something interesting" instead of a complaint, which is nonsensical anyway because who the hell forces you to read the coverage that's done by TL?
I'm more interested in SC2 but I like that BW fans have this opportunity. I hope this goes well for everybody
I already do what I can find most important, however I could definitely do more. Let me know. Give me tasks for TLPD all I'll be happy to work on it and I'm also happy to learn.
What is involved in the TLPD work? From what I remember reading somewhere here it was a very lengthy and arduous process. Where do you get the results from, how are the records collated and imported etc?.

The four feature articles I've written since the turn of the year covered a variety of subjects, none of which was directly related to tournaments. If you proved to be a worthy applicant and were capable of producing interesting original content, I'm fairly certain the editors will be thrilled to enable you and make those projects a reality. I've only worked with the SC2 staff, but I'm sure those over in the BW division are equally wonderful people.
