About Me
Currently, my services are performed by myself and one other - someone I have been developing chemistry with since not only Season 1, but in other competitive games as well. We both have extensive experience in the Top 500, and are currently - in Season 4 - hovering around 4400~ rating.
Prices ARE slightly negotiable. Please contact me, and we can attempt to work something out!
We ARE ABLE TO get you to Top 500! Current cutoff as of 5/2/2017 is approximately 4250!
NOTE: Prices listed are for the ENTIRE SR range! For smaller increments, simply divide! Please contact me if you need any assistance!

Coaching
Coaching is available, but each client requires a unique, personalized approach; therefore, prices can't be defined up front.
As a booster and an active participant in "video game black markets", I obviously have come to terms with the ethics of boosting. All things aside, improvement requires a competitive environment. A quote I heard a long time ago and never once forgot:
"You lose elo for learning; you gain elo for teaching others"
Understanding this is integral to getting into the mindset of playing to improve. So many players put countless hours into the game, but still find themselves below 3000SR. Why?
The difference between merely playing and playing to improve is as wide as the gap between Heaven and Earth. The ability to extract learning opportunities from each match - win or lose - is critical to improving as a player.
A: While it is dependent on you, in the sense that each player is unique and requires a different coaching strategy in order to improve as fast as possible, there is a standard start to a client-coach relationship.
Before the session begins, please get warmed up. You need to be playing at your best during our coaching sessions. Additionally, please be sure that you are able to stream your gameplay or record and upload it. First-person gameplay analysis is essential.
1) I will watch, silently, as you play a competitive match. I’ll be taking notes, identifying points of focus we will work to improve upon.
2) We will have a discussion regarding your first match. I’ll identify the mistakes and trends I noticed, and listen to your feedback. After this discussion, we will both have a good idea of what’s going on and how we can begin making adjustments.
After this point, my coaching sessions tend to diverge – each client’s will look a little bit differently. I’ll go ahead and list a few methods I’ve employed in the past (some being the client’s idea, some being my own)
Watching me stream gameplay of your hero on a smurf account. This helps to bridge the gap between textbook knowledge (theory) and in-game performance (application). This can be extremely helpful with any hero, but tends to be a request from healer mains. It provides a response to the question “Can I play Mercy/Ana/Lucio and get to X rating?”
Mechanics. While I’m unable to literally hold your hand and guide your controller (or Xim4) for you, I have a plethora of tips I’ve picked up across various competitive FPS games that can help you shoot more accurately. If you are a DPS main – let’s say a Sombra – and, during your first match where I watched and took notes, I noticed it took you 45 seconds to kill a Lucio contesting a control point. He kept wall riding around and around and because of your lack of accuracy, he was able to keep the point contested until his team returned. How do we address this?
1) As previous mentioned, I have a variety of tips to literally improve your accuracy. Innovative ways to warm up. Custom game setups designed to act as a target range of sorts.
2) 1v1 me. If the previous example was a 2500 game, I can almost guarantee you that a Top 500 Lucio is not only going to evade your attacks, but likely kill you as well. It’s unacceptable to be a Sombra that consistently gets killed by a Lucio. So we can run 1v1 practice. Discuss leading shots. How to strafe. How to track your opponent.
I’d like to end by saying that my playstyle is very analytical. I stress the importance of game knowledge and awareness. A prime example of this is when, in one of my very first Overwatch coaching sessions, a client said “Wow, a fully charged Symmetra does a lot of damage!” I seek to quantify things like that. No more vague expressions of frustration like “a lot of damage”. How much damage!?
I also stress game awareness. You cannot make optimal, efficient decisions if you’re not aware of what’s going on around you. You should always try to maintain a mental map of where your team is, where the enemy team is, who has their ultimate up, who is dead on each team…
Finally, just so no one wastes their money, I must admit to you that I cannot make you into a better player in only one session. Coaching is not equivalent to giving you some sort of “skill boost”. Coaching, to me, should be thought of more like a toolkit. I can give you the tools to improve. I can open your mind to seeing the game in a different light. I can pinpoint your mistakes, which, when corrected, will lead to longer average lifespans, allowing you to have more impact on the game.
FAQ
A:
Season 1 – prior to the use of the 0-4000 range – we achieved the rank of: 79.
Peak rating across 2-4 has been: 4419 [Rank 85 at the time].
Q: How long will my order take?
A: Time estimates are order-dependent. Please contact us so that we may give you an estimate. We pride ourselves in speed and efficiency.
Q: Why don’t you have a website? Wouldn’t that be more professional?
A: In some sense, yes. Personally though, I don’t like the static, machine-like appearance of doing business with a website. Not for something like this. We aren’t Amazon. It’s not as though you’re purchasing something that’s being shipped to you.
You are giving something to us, whether it be your time (Coaching) or your account (Boosting) – not to mention your money! I don’t think it’s fair to ask you to put that level of trust in us without having a chance to really speak with us first.
Additionally, websites cost money. Server costs, domain registration, web development, bug fixes, DDoS protection…the list goes on and on. This is a major reason why websites charge 2-3x our prices!
Lastly, I like to develop personal relationships with clients. Clients are friends, not wallets. We’ve done contract work for a website before. Not only did we feel bad taking such ridiculous amounts of money (when if the client had contacted us directly it would’ve been a fraction of the cost), but also how the client always struggled to get in touch with us. Having to ask livechat to message us so that we could connect…it’s just so…circuitous. In fact, it’s rude. You, as a client, provide us with access to your account or give us hours of your time. It’s a commitment, whether it be money or time. I wouldn’t ask you to submit payment before even getting to know me. Talk to me first.
Q: What payment methods do you accept?
A: Bitcoin and Paypal (which also supports credit and debit cards). If you wish to use a different payment method, contact us and we’ll see if we can accommodate you!
Q: Do you offer refunds?
A: If we are unable to complete your order or you can prove your account was reprimanded due to our actions, we will refund you. However, we never accept an order we cannot complete. We do not speak in game chat unless absolutely necessary, and we absolutely do not ever message any of your friends, players met, etc. We do not reply to anyone that messages us during our time with your account. We do not accept any game invites, party invites, etc. We appear offline the entire time.
Reputation & Feedback
My feedback is spread out on several different sites. If you'd like an exhaustive list of my vouches/feedback/reputation, please message me (and check the IMGUR link at the top!)
I used snowbear's services the other day and can say that he is the real deal. He is professional, courteous and goes the extra mile to make things work for you. Also his prices are fairly low compared to others here, but that certainlay does not reflect the quality of services you receive. Top notch. Thanks again!
