What is a Remote Esports Writer?

A Remote Esports Writer is a professional who creates content, such as news articles, analysis, interviews, and opinion pieces, about competitive video gaming (esports) while working from a remote location. These writers cover major tournaments, teams, players, and industry trends, often for websites, magazines, or esports organizations. They use their expertise to inform and engage the esports community, and their work can include both written and multimedia content. The remote aspect allows them to work from anywhere with internet access, offering flexibility and the opportunity to collaborate with outlets worldwide.

What are some common challenges faced by remote esports writers, and how can they be managed?

Remote esports writers often face challenges such as staying updated with fast-paced tournament schedules and adapting to shifting storylines in real-time. Managing time zones, meeting tight publication deadlines, and maintaining clear communication with editors and content teams are also common hurdles. To overcome these, many writers rely on digital collaboration tools, set up alerts for esports news, and establish regular check-ins with their team. Building a strong professional network within the esports community can also help in accessing timely information and exclusive insights.

What is the difference between Remote Esports Writer vs Remote Gaming Content Writer?

Work EnvironmentOnline, esports-focused media outletsOnline, gaming websites, blogs
Industry UsageEsports tournaments, teams, leaguesVideo game reviews, guides, news

Remote Esports Writers specialize in esports event coverage, team news, and tournament analysis, often working with esports media outlets. Remote Gaming Content Writers create a wider range of gaming-related content, including reviews and guides, for general gaming websites. While both roles require strong writing skills and gaming knowledge, esports writers focus more on competitive gaming, making their expertise more niche.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Esports Writer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Esports Writer, you need strong writing skills, deep knowledge of esports titles, and experience with journalistic research, often supported by a background in communications or journalism. Familiarity with content management systems (CMS), SEO tools, and social media platforms is typically required. Excellent time management, adaptability, and the ability to communicate clearly with editors and audiences distinguish top performers in this role. These skills are crucial for producing timely, engaging, and accurate esports content that resonates with a global audience.

  • Pitch daily, weekly, & monthly content tailored to drive engagement on each of Rivalry’s social media channels.
  • Ensure the company’s Country Leads feel involved and able to collaborate on efforts where their localized expertise and partners can elevate an effort, or be an integral part of one. As a manager your role is to enhance and help leads develop ideas that can be fit for purpose on SoMe and achieve brand and business objectives.
  • Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok community management (knowledge of Youtube and SEO copy is a plus)
  • Monitor wider social conversations and competitor landscape
  • Write/revise social copy and scripting for social assets (i.e. crafting Instagram Stories, short video assets, pulling GIFs, etc.)
