Wow, that seems like an insane amount of effort for just volunteer work. I understand why your not paying them, but damn.

It's been like this for a long time in eSports; most sites run off the backs of a lot of volunteers. I can probably count on both hands how many people I know (in eSports) that were getting paid as writers. I was lucky enough to be paid for a period of time, but you're right that it ends up being a lot of work. Gets really hard to justify for some people without compensation, especially those where their heart isn't in it.

I wish good luck to all the applicants.

I probably could have applied for this position a few months back. I was watching an incredible amount of sc2, basically every offline tournament and daily streams.

Maybe if my interest is rekindled in HOTS, I could look into a position.

Really nice to see them recruiting for even more content providers.

As a writer, I'd love to find a position at a prominent organization such as Team Liquid, but there's no way I'd do it for free. Not because of a lack of passion, but because I've worked in eSports for free for too long and no longer have time for it with a full time job.
As well as I'm sure many people here feel the same, I also that know many people are available to help benefit eSports for the sake of the game.

Best wishes in finding the most capable talents!

I wish I had good grammer and decent writing skills, I think it would be awesome to write for TL but I am no where near the quality that they would need t.t If you are a decent writer totally do it. Plus I bet you get the **I am a writer on TL** Icon and thats awesome

If you don't have the motivation and the passion to do it for free, why the fuck would anyone want to hire you?
Most esports jobs happen when people do something from the heart, for a really long time, and do it damn well, and then someone decides to support them financially.

That's why they give passes for SC2 leagues to their writers.

I mean internet and stuff. Our country's internet is sub par. Can't watch anything streamed unless I pay more than what I should. Even that is not a guarantee.

Edit: I just reread the OP and saw the minimum 3 short recaps/previews each week.

Due to other commitments I could only possibly commit to 1 recap/preview per week max. I guess that means I won't apply after all.

Good luck everyone.
