TeamLiquid is looking for new League of Legends writers to keep up its league coverage in 2014. We're looking for writers who can cover a variety of material, from daily recaps and previews to detailed focus pieces.Positions and Application ProcessLeague of Legends WriterDescription: Writers are responsible for writing previews, recaps, features, and other written content for TeamLiquid's League of Legends 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 OGN Champions, LCS NA & EU, LPL and 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 if they are needed. How to Apply: Send an application containing the following information to recruitment(at)teamliquid.net tagged as "League of Legends Writer" - 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 October 1st, 2013 may be chosen as the subject.
- Freestyle Article (700-900 words) - Example 1 - Example 2
Write an article on any League of Legends esports related topic of your choice, including but not limited to players, teams, tournaments, and happenings. The theme of your article is entirely up to you, but please avoid excessive hero worship.

They might also just be hiring because other people (Fionn, Neo) seem rather busy with writing for sites like lolesports at the moment.

Nah, Chexx just wants more slaveboys since xes's been slacking.

Love this move, hate to be seen as a second class citizen of TL.
|
Yay, more LoL content at TL. :D I always love to read the articles TL produces regardless of the game but as I am currently focusing on LoL. I am looking forward to more coverage.
|
This is extremely exciting to me. Will definitely send an application once I finish finals. :D

We are still looking for people especially EU and LPL. If you want to write about something else feel free to apply too!

I just sent in my application. Pretty excited, I was informed of this shortly after deciding I wanted to quit writing independently. Talk about timing!

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.
There are of course other reasons but this is a big one.
