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 OGN Champions, LCS NA & EU, LPL and other tournaments being covered as manpower allows.

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 October 1st, 2013 may be chosen as the subject.

Thats not it. One big reason is that our staff isnt big enough to have a consistent flow of content to become officially TL acknowledged. Thats why we made this looking for staff thread.
