GosuGamers Heroes of the Storm is recruiting

About GosuGamers

GosuGamers is the #1 global eSports media with a monthly readership of more than three million people, specializing in Dota 2, Hearthstone and Counter-Strike, and just recently, Heroes of the storm. We have our roots back in 2002 and in thirteen years history evolved into THE premier places for eSports coverage - providing news, featured content, VODs, replays, player and team rankings, matchticker and in-depth event coverage

What being part of GosuCrew will give you?

 

  • Experience and exposure within coverage/journalism in esports: GosuGamers is a great place to start your writing career and publish your work on a well-read platform
     
  • Get to know all the pro players and names you admire: We keep good relations with a large part of the pro player community, giving our crew a great opportunity to meet and interview with nearly any top team they might be interested in.
     
  • Contacts to player/team managers and eSports organizations: Build your connections with the people in the industry
     
  • Be one step ahead of everyone else when it comes to knowing the happenings on the scene
     
  • A chance of helping your local scene grow: Heroes of the Storm is still in its infancy but there’s already a ton of competition all over the place, much of which eludes our sight. If you’re passionate about your local scene, come and write about it!
     
  •  Work with friendly, open-minded people who also happen to share your love of Heroes of the Storm!
     

Additionally, we’re always happy to help our outstanding volunteers in their future career steps. We’ll happily write you a letter of recommendation if your work has really been great and many crew members have used this opportunity to move on and work for other eSports companies or non-eSports media. There are many opportunities for increased responsibility and influence for those who excell as a volunteer crew member.

What being part of GosuCrew means/requires?
 

  • Put down a few hours per week to help out with content/coverage: As all GG.net crew members work on voluntary basis, it’s entirely up to them when, how much and with what they want to help. You will be working with your crew leader closely to coordinate some tasks, but most of the time you will set your own tempo.
     
  • Take initiative and assign tasks to yourself: In continuation of the previous bullet point, we love people who don’t need to be babysat and ordered around (this is not the point anyway). If you want to write an article about an event – go for it. If you want to help the player rankings or interview a pro player – it’s all yours.
     
  • Use Skype and crew forums to communicate with the crew: our guys are online most of the time, busy not having lives and all…
