Yup, you too, can be like Milkis, tweeting to thousands of followers while being invited to debate with the owners of prominent e-Sports teams on popular podcasts, and go to MLG and hang out with Boxer all day.
Okay, I guess I can't really guarantee that in good faith. But you have to start somewhere!

TeamLiquid is recruiting Korean to English and Chinese to English translators. Translators will be responsible for the translation of ESPORTS related texts of interest, which we expect to be mostly comprised of interviews and news articles. We are looking for translators for both Starcraft: Brood War and Starcraft 2 related materials.
Translators should be self-motivated and find articles of interest to translate on a regular basis and also be available to translate specific articles on request.
Requirements
Fluency or near-fluency in both the source and translation language.
Familiarity with the ESPORTS scenes in Korea/China and the important community/news sites in their respective scenes.
Application Process
Send an application containing the following to k.woo@teamliquid.net (WaxAngel)
- Your TeamLiquid ID and online messenger contact information (MSN, AIM, Gchat, Skype etc).
- Two sample translations of ESPORTS related articles. Preferably one interview and one news article.
*This is an unpaid position.
PS: Thanks to everyone who applied for the writing position a few months ago! The first round of hiring is over, and we're trying to organize what we have now. All the applications are still on file, and we'll be looking through them again to fill future needs.

It's such a shame I don't know any chinese eSport-terms 
|
Dammit so sad I am 1 translation piece short
|
Man, if I could read more Chinese, I would totally apply. I can speak Chinese pretty well, but I can't write proficiently anymore T.T
|
My procrastination knows no bounds, and I guess even if I feel like translating periodically I would prefer being an free-lancer. Hope some other dedicated translators decide to join TL though
