I really like this line.

A volunteer does not work for you, he works for the experience and with you

Overall, Torte wrote an excellent article that introduces to the public some acknowledged realities of the industry and made suggestions for ways to manage and better expectation. One issue I see though, the article seems meshed together, targeting two distinct audience (new volunteers and organizations) without an obvious transition.

This was quite the entertaining read! Although I do not intend to end up in the industry, This was informative and I feel like it would be useful for someone who wanted to give something back. Thanks for the great work.

Oh! Someone revived this topic!

Thank you everyone.

I don't expect any organizations to read this, it's a flipped reflection for volunteers to see which are quality organizations. Organizations that try and sell themselves are a strong indicator for volunteers to consider and perhaps ask from organizations (I have in the past several times).

I live in way smaller czech esport scene (well we have official Battlefield translation so maybe not so small) and this post pretty much summarizes my experience and what I hear from my friends and colleagues.

This is one of those posts where it's hard to reply with anything other than, "Thank you."

The content is very informative and it's difficult to find much to discuss because the original is so comprehensive.
