Work for TeamLiquid!
As Korean progaming expands, so does our need for people willing to cover and report on the various goings-on of the BW world. We currently maintain a small group of dedicated individuals who are responsible for watching games and writing reports, maintaining liquibet, writing summaries of the leagues, and translating articles from Korean sources. If you feel you have the desire and ability, this thread is fo you.
We are looking for:
2-3 News Writers
Responsibilities and requirements:
- You would be responsible for watching games and writing reports on a specific league. These reports should give the reader an accurate picture of the games themselves, and how they fit into the tournament picture as a whole. Reports should be up in a timely manner.
- You are encouraged to bring initiative to the site in the form of new ideas for features and style.
- You should have a strong grasp of the English language. You do not have to be a native speaker, but you should be able to express yourself well through the written word.
- You should be willing to make a commitment to the site. This is not an easy job, and the rewards are slight. The ability to gain satisfaction from doing a good job is important.
2-3 Replay Uploaders
Responsibilities and requirements:
TL has maintained a high quality replay section. In our opinion, one great replay upload is worth more than 50 mediocre replay uploads. Replays uploaded should be games where there is room for discussion, and feature high skill.
- You should have a unique source for obtaining your replays. If we wanted to take replays from elsewhere, we could just visit YGClan every day. Having unique replays is very important.
- You should bring some ideas to the table in regards to "replay features" for themed reppacks or feature replays.
- You should not be Ekii.
- Be able to upload regularly. There is no number you must upload per week, but two or three people each uploading once a week is what we have in mind. However, quality over quantity always.
To Apply
Please PM Manifesto7 with the following information:
- Name.
- Age. There is no age limit, but a mature attitude is required.
- Country.
- Languages spoken. Korean ability is a plus.
- MSN/AIM name.
- Availibility. When and how much time can you put towards this?
- Why you want to work for TL? A short written statement about why you want the job.
For news writers, please include a recent sample of your writing in the form of a battle report. You can cut/paste it or send me a link. Any experience you have in writing battle reports should be listed here.
For replay uploaders, please tell me where and how you obtain replays. Entertaining me with a good one might help too 
Good luck to everyone who applies. It is the community who helps keep TL rolling along, so it is the community we turn to when we need help.
Regards,
Manifesto7 and the TL crew.

It must be battle reports & Korean leagues coverage only for the news section?
I would wield my axe but when it comes to serious progaming news I have always felt like the poor hungry kid looking through the glass window at the rich people eat in the restaurant. Just check out the last translated report at http://senseofstar.blogspot.com and you will know what I mean. I wonder sometimes how much we are missing out given the hundreds of good Korean Starcraft sites. I do not really know and it is hard to express the exact feeling but sometimes I feel like us common western folk are missing out the main meal. Just a nagging feeling I get everytime a VOD in Hangul.
Sniff sniff.. :cry:

I would love to do something like this, and I think it'd be a lot of fun -- but I lack any comedic sense whatsoever, and I simply don't have the time. 
GL Finding someone. :^

Believe me Physician, I feel so much like you do. Things like sense of star are just the tip of the iceberg. It is the longstanding goal of TL to make this world more accessible to the English speaking world. With our vollunteer staff and meagre resources, I think we have done a good job. Lots of the credit also has to go to the forum which constantly produces new material and discussions. In the end though, we will never be able to unless translation software becomes perfect.
If you, or anyone, has ideas other than battle reports, I of course would be willing to read any proposal. One thing that I dont want to do, is focus on the foreign scene, because I already thing GG.net is doing a good job of that. TL is about the korean scene, and I have a hard time seeing it as a portal for something else.
Again though, wow me, and I will consider anything.

I nominate HonesTea for a newswriter and EttEr for battle reports.

I think that it would help to update the links page to include things like Yaoyuan, SenseofStar, FiFo, and a lot of the other sites. It would brink the Links page more clicks and make it easier to find those sites that many people often forget or for those new people.
I myself love doing things like writing reports, but am not good enough at it, or at least not better than anyone else who can offer to be a scribe.

I really want to contribute. I'm a columnist for our campus paper - I really love writing (and pretty well at that ^^).
But I can't torrent and hence can't watch all the VOD's. Plus I don't think I have time to watch all those VOD's every week anyway =(
If there's any other capacity I can help out...
Perhaps like editing or writing things that don't require me to torrent VOD's (like writing the old TL.net Awards thing you guys did after every starleague, or strategy, or whatever)
HOLY SHIT MY ONE THOUSANDTH POST I'M A CORSAIR NOW
