Writers

Description: Writers are responsible for writing previews, recaps, features, and other written content for TeamLiquid's CS:GO coverage. In the case of previews and recaps, it is crucial that they are written in a timely manner. Writers must be able to write both concisely and at length, depending on the situation. The ability to recognize and develop narratives is also a must. Knowledge of the scene is important, but more important is a willingness to work hard and accept criticism.

One sample writing assignment must be submitted.

Pick one of the following:

• A tournament preview (500-1000 words) - Write an article previewing a future tournament. The preview should not preview the entire event if there are many competitors, but should cover 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, looking at a team going into the event and any tournament specific storylines
  
• A tournament recap (600-800 words) - Write a concise recap on the events of a single day in a major tournament. This is NOT a battle report assignment. Try to tell an interesting story about the tournament and players as a whole, rather than listing the details of several matches. The above examples are only references, feel free to be creative with your style. Any tournament may be chosen as the subject.
  
• An article of your choice (500-1000 words) - If neither of these ideas appeal to you, write something you think is interesting and that people would like to read, be it a team focus piece or a map spotlight. Give us enough meat to properly judge.

Remember, these pieces will be judged on knowledge, content and writing style. No previous experience required. Applications will remain open until positions are filled.
