Hello everyone, Reiki here!

Today is the first day of the first work week in the new year! As such, our tournament system will get going in a week or two. For those that do not know, we run a year-round tournament system. Players in their specific "Clubs" compete to earn QP (Qualifier Points) and prizes. Players who win that month get an AP prize of 5,000 or 10,000 depending on the league. We have a Rookie and Pro League.

With S4 League growing, so is S4 Source and so is the competitive scene. We'll see more matches this year so we'll need dedicated people to work with us. Last year was difficult, we had a lot of staff leave from the strain. We will not sugar-coat that this is a demanding position. Sometimes you will be disrespected by other players, but you are always respected by me for the hard work that is put in.

The positions are below with small requirements. If at any time you do not meet these requirements, we reserve the right to ask you to step down either temporarily or indefinitely.

Here are the positions:

Positions
5 Judges - Must be available on weekends, early afternoon preferable, Judges' test
5 Streamers - Must have decent internet connection, pass Livestream test, available on weekends.
2 Commentators - Must have an interview and demo

Ohh~
I shall apply to be a judge. I'm always available on weekends. Can't stream though. And commentary...meh, you don't wanna hear me commentating a match. Did that for my clan once. Apparently I sound like I'm sick 24/7 lol gg. Ah well. But I'd be more than happy to be a judge.^^

[TheKyoKito]

what exactly do we go through in the judge's test because I like observing people.

Edit: this looked like a lot more words on my phone >.>
I shall sign up.

I'll apply for all three positions. I have a flexible schedule, even when classes begin in a few weeks. Wednesdays will likely be my busiest day of the week.

I also have experience from commentating as a hobby and really enjoy it.

I'll judge. And commentate if there isn't anyone more suited for the job.

[Destri]

I'll apply for the judge and streaming positions.

EDIT: Xtrap crashes S4 when Procaster tries to hook onto it... Odd.
EDIT #2: Nevermind. Anka's suggestion worked. Me love you long time.
EDIT #3: Withdrawing application until I can log onto Eng-EU again.

[Chhipz]

So when do we find out more information about this?

Yes, I am anxious :P

[Reiki]

We'll begin training once sign-ups are up. If you applied, you'll automatically be pulled into training. We don't have a weeding out process because the job is demanding enough.

The key things to remember are that you have to attend atleast one match a week. If you're a streamer, you should PM me or send me a message on a messanger (You can do that by checking my profile) about setting up a time for you to show me some of your shots live. For commentators, we have a talk on Mumble. I suggest all commentators and judges at some point should have Mumble.

[Synthesized]

Bah.

Mumble and me don't really have the greatest of relations, but I'll see what I can do to make it work with my shit.
I'm up for the commentator spot, will get back at you on monday when I reinstall Mumble and get it to work with my logitech headset.

The trick is to not choose the game option but the screen wich works with s4 league.

[AkiaTomiyo]

OH, what dictates a demo?
Also, if I'm able to convince my parents to let me have the computer that no one uses since everyone in my family has a laptop now I may have a great computer for streaming ^_^

Basically any position that I could fill after training I'll gladly help with.

Hi I would like too sign up for '' Judging ''!
So count me in!

[Reiki]

A demo would be a clip of your voice or an interview where you're demonstrating your skills. Any of our previous commentators can tell you it's a marathon of talking and not easy.

Anyway, so far, I'm accepting Chhipz in. If you're streaming, please PM me with a livestream demo you have of your streaming abilities.

If you're judging, your task is to judge 3 matches with another judge. Since there are a lot of applicants and a reduced number of judges, we'll do one training with me and one demo when the tournament starts. Training will be every day next week, you only need to meet with me once.

[Tallieh]

Well, I would like to apply for the judging. ^^ I don't know if I fit into it, but we will see what the training brings...or I'll just ask NoctiS to teach me. :x
Also, I'm available on weekends most of the time, so it should work.

[konakona]

ccan i apply for commentating i a\hve a good sense of direction and by Bo standards "ok" levels of map awareness and to top it off i am living on the opposite side of the world so i can provide timezone-friendly commentatoring

[neverhate]

I already did my 2 test games as a judge :x

[Aures]

Quick question, what exactly are you looking for when we test to be a judge? Just curious.
