Sounds like an awesome gig, and may look good on the resume for those looking to go into some sort of journalism field.

I'm a good writer, and would definitely apply, but unfortunately I need to get paid this summer and probably won't have the time

I would do it but I'm not that good of a writer

Good luck to all that apply!

I'd assume not, but just to be clarify: The evaluation is ONLY on writing, so no bonus points for making your battle reports look nice with screenshots/banners?

im not sure i can think of 3 samples that are sufficiently different from each other, tbh i just like the idea of doing some of the recaps that tl writers do, they always seem so informative, a real good read

I'm going to apply, as I love TL and want to give back to the community, but don't have that much time! How much would I be expected to write for the community if I were to apply and be accepted? I couldn't do battle reports, as I almost never have time to watch VODs, but have a lot of knowledge about new players and rivalries, as well as know stats on almost all the names in the biz!

I would be willing to write 2-3 articles a month, evenly spaced with a good week or so or forewarning about anything player-related!

Does TL have a professional writing team or are all the writers volunteers?

Best of luck to those who apply. If I did writing on esports, I'd apply. If I just wrote some random esports articles could I apply?

Omg subscriptions! YES

Hm, how often would you have to write? If there's at least a couple writers, there is usually may be an average of 4 articles a week, excluding things like interviews etc. I'm definitely interested but if it's too much I may not be able to do it because of school and stuff

I've inquired about something like this in the past, definitely going to apply now that there seems to be a demand for writers. Should have my app in tonight, crossing my fingers ^^ Edit: All done, that feels good :D

THIS.
I would apply 100% if there was any reasonable payment in 'money' - besides the 10 million E-Sports dollars or hugs from <enter fav TL member here>.
I love TL and the community - and watch literally all GSL matches and any other (NASL, etc) matches I can. However, I do like to put peanut-butter on my bread; no payment doesn't help with that, unfortunately.

Can't wait to read some more awesome SC2 articles in the future. I hope the new guys will deliver, since the bw writers have set the bar quite high

Are we going to have an SC2 Power Rank(tm) soon??

I was thrown off by the "Hiring" part xD. I'm sure there are a lot of fantastic writers out there who would be willing to do this for free though. I would have loved to help out but since I already run my own site it would be hard to make time for both O_o

There is nothing, I repeat absolutely nothing more intriguing to me than an opportunity to actually give colour to to a sport with a massive and yet still growing pallet, unfortunately the link i try to go to to apply keeps sending me right back to the team liquid homepage,I'm probably misunderstanding the entire navigation system aren't I,if so please excuse my technological ineptitude. Can someone please tell me how exactly to apply? I would be endlessly grateful.
