The main reward of being an admin is being able to have an influence on your community, however large or small, one person really can make a difference.

If there is something you would like to see improved on the ESL or you have ideas for new ladders, leagues or cups, it is much easier to make it happen as part of the team.

Being an admin is purely voluntary, the vast majority of the ESL's hundreds of admins are rewarded with simply Premium and the knowledge they are doing something good for their community.

The work you can do as an ESL admin varies depending on your game, how much time you have and where your interests and skills lie. The basic core tasks that a League Admin in the ESL does include:

- Making things happen for your game - Whether running ladders, leagues or cups, you are directly involved in making things happen for your game.

- Supporting users - We do our best to make the site as easy to use as possible but it is by no means perfect and even our oldest users sometimes need a helping hand. Above all your duty is to help users as much as you can.

- Solving protests - In a competitive environment there will always be problems between users that need solving by a fair and unbias individual. This is one of the most difficult tasks an admin does on a daily basis but can also be one of the most satisfying when all sides agree on the outcome.

- Processing league joins - It's not the most interesting task, but it is one of the most important ones as it means of maintaining the quality of our ladders, leagues and cups and all it takes is a few minutes per day.

There are many other tasks that you can also do do, including running cups and special competitions like the Major Series, Masters and WC3L, writing news, creating graphics, catching cheaters, finding fake matches, teaching new admins and more.
