Up/Down



TeamLiquid is looking for new StarCraft 2 writers to keep up its league coverage in 2014. We're looking for writers who can do recaps and previews for tournaments that we cover.



Positions and Application Process

StarCraft II Writer



Description: Writers are responsible for writing previews, recaps, features, and other written content for TeamLiquid's StarCraft II 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. Tournaments with priority at present time are DreamHack, SPL, IEM, Proleague and WCS with other tournaments being covered as manpower allows. Positions are not paid and are on a strictly voluntary basis. Passes for leagues covered will be provided.





How to Apply: Send an application containing the following information to plexa@teamliquid.net (Plexa)

Your TeamLiquid.net ID and Skype information. For coordination purposes, we require writers to use Skype.



Short introduction and relevant background information as it pertains to this position. Please do not send resumes.



Preferred league or tournament to cover.



Availability and desired workload.



Applications are open indefinitely.

Two test writing assignments must also be completed.

Tournament Recap (around 600 words) - Example 1 - Example 2 - Example 3



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 major tournament after March 1st, 2014 may be chosen as the subject.

Preview Article (700-1000 words) - Example 1 - Example 2 - Example 3



Write an article previewing some future tournament (as of the time of writing, good choices could be Red Bull Battle Grounds Atlanta, Dreamhack Valencia or IEM Shenzhen). 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 (e.g. "Royal Roaders" in GSL).

In all seriousness, I hope you find quality guys. I greatly appreciate the write ups when I don't have the time to watch/catch up on VODs. Best of luck applicants/searchers. If she pulls out her stalkers, you pull out your mauraders and concussive all over her tits

I hope y'all get some real quality (not me lol), I love the write ups when I can't get the time to watch SCII. User was warned for too many mimes.

I just don't follow the SC2 scene closely enough and barely feel dedicated enough as it is to continue to play/watch every single day. Gl to anyone who wants to apply though. I wouldn't mind editing articles for grammar/quality, but I don't think I could write an original pieceI just don't follow the SC2 scene closely enough and barely feel dedicated enough as it is to continue to play/watch every single day.

Not sure if we are currently looking for editors, but shooting a PM to Plexa can't hurt I guess? Not sure if we are currently looking for editors, but shooting a PM to Plexa can't hurt I guess? Administrator Laws change depending on who's making them, but justice is justice
