Teamliquid.net is recruiting
TeamLiquid is looking to recruit writers to help with covering the various BW leagues in 2018 as well as individuals who would be interested in using their skills and imagination to help deliver stunning graphics for our coverage.

Writers

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 though there is a chance for compensation in the future.

How to Apply: Send an application containing the following information to BigFan and/or 2Pacalypse-.
  • Your TeamLiquid.net ID and Discord information. For coordination purposes, we require writers to use Discord.
  • 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.
  • Tournament Recap - Example 1 - Example 2 - Example 3

    Write a recap of a single day or an event that recently unfolded in the BW scene (ASL6, KSL 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.

  • Preview Article - Example 1 - Example 2 - Example 3

    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 ASL6 is currently ongoing, a preview article could focus on that tournament in particular. The possibility of EffOrt taking his first ASL championship is one example. Be as creative as you like and make the article an entertaining read.

TLPD

Description: As a BW Artist, you will be responsible for providing awesome banners for our writeups, and liasoning with other staff. This position is for those who are really creative, and want to test their limits and imagination. This position is not paid and is on a strictly voluntary basis. If your application is accepted, you will get to work right away so apply today!

How to Apply: Send an application containing the following information to BigFan and/or 2Pacalypse-.
  • Your TeamLiquid.net ID and Discord information. For coordination purposes, we require staff to use Discord.
  • Short introduction of yourself. Please do not send resumes.
  • Availability and desired workload.
  • Applications are open indefinitely.
Some examples:
  • Hwaseung Oz's History by Hyde
  • The Old Man and the Build by c3rberUs
  • Hero - Farewell to a Consistently Great Zerg by v1
  • Sonic's Legacy: SSL's Lasting Impact by shiroiusagi
  • Flash's Starcraft Wakanda in Afreeca by v1

Please provide some examples of work that you have done either in this community or another that show your passion and dedication to the game. Basically, show us what you are capable of. Don't forget to provide any other relevant background information that pertain to this position.
Good Luck to all applicants!

Thank you writers. I enjoy reading everything as much or more as anyone else. I especially enjoy the interviews and power rankings.

>> The possibility of EffOrt taking his first ASL championship is one example.

Something I noticed, Afreeca considers (Wiki)VANT36.5 National Starleague as ASL "S0": EffOrt is shown as champion w/ his trophy in ASL S6 opening(5m45s):


Right?

as a guy who spotted someone hiding in a grassy knoll....

this advertising is a good sign. TL usually knows stuff before the general public. its good to see TL is still putting effort and resources into Starcraft. I hope this means Blizzard is still putting effort and resources into RTS in general.. and Starcraft in particular.

more seriously though,
if BigFan doesn't chump on at least 3 cigars a day while bellowing "PARKER ... PARKER"... his editor designation should be removed.

Thanks for the comments.

@chuDr3t4 yes, they seem to have him in that first spot, though they also don't have KSL which was the first iteration. Not really sure what their thoughts are here and if we can truly count this as an ASL win. It's definitely not one in my mind.

@Dave4 Ah dang, completely forgot and now it's too late because you found out. Well, no worries, you can still apply with everyone else! :D

@JimmyJRaynor well, I've never tried a cigar before. Are you saying that there's a first time for everything?

@Garrl You are solely mistaken. Maybe it's because you didn't read the post carefully, but "there is a chance for compensation in the future" for writers. Depending on the amount of work done by gfx artist, there is also a good chance for them too. I can't comment much further though, aside from saying that this isn't as volunteer work as one thinks. On that note, if someone enjoys writing or making graphics for their favourite hobby, there's no better place for displaying that than on TL where it would be shared with a passionate community. Not everything has to revolve around money mate. How do you think most people in staff started? They started because they wanted their favourite game to get the best coverage or graphics it possibly can, and through those connections, they have managed to experience things that only a few people in esports can. Furthermore, for someone who wants to become a writer, or wants to have a portfolio, being able to work hard at your craft, and show your work can help you land other jobs in the future. Anyways, I've said enough at this point.

oh, I read the post. I'm a graphic designer so I'm well aware that "chance of compensation" means nothing; you'll still be doing work for free under the guise of "gaining exposure" and "building your portfolio". You wouldn't expect someone to create an app or build a house for free, yet for some reason, the creative industries are 'different', and it's precisely because people do work for free that this devaluation occurs, and that organisations feel that they can exploit this for free labour.

If I applied to write here, I'd do it out of the love of the game and with a desire to build the community. That would be the reward, and any chance to f.ex. get free tickets to events and such to cover it would be seen as a great bonus. It'd be done in my freetime, as part of a hobby. I don't see how it could devalue, when the alternative would be to have nothing at all, since there's practically no money for it in the first place.

I agree on not being taken advantage of. But I feel this is quite the wrong place to take that fight. Some people would build a house for free, give materials for free, make an app for free, assuming it was for a certain cause. For those applying here, BW is one such cause. If anything, it's more a fantastic resource for the community having such skills being put to use. To build for the sake of what we love, rather than everything being about money (unlike an actual job to pay the bills with etc.).
It's ok. I still love you <3

Wasn't this a paid staff responsibility in the days of old? Surprising to see tl going the "free exposure" route on a call for creatives. Really confused about this, especially after listening to all the Chill/staff interviews way back hearing him describe getting paid for a lot of work along these lines.

sure, I've done design work for charities for free before. But don't kid yourself here; TL can pay, they're a for-profit organisation, and it's simply exploitation of a dedicated community to even pitch a volunteer position here.
