What is boosting in gaming?

All online games are built so that the first few levels are very easy to pass, but further movement to the top of the rating or access to strong opponents can take several months.

Especially difficult is the path to ranking in games like Dota 2 and Overwatch. In addition, you will meet many toxic players along the way, which can discourage all desire to develop in the game, especially Dota 2 is famous for.

But what if you feel that you deserve to fight at the highest level, but are not ready to spend a lot of time and effort to pass the secondary levels. In this situation the boosting service that has recently become more and more popular comes to the rescue. One of the market leaders in boosting services is the company AskBoosters. Here you are waiting for experienced players who specialize in a particular game, with the following popular online games are available for pumping: World of Tanks; Dota 2; CS: GO; Overwanch; League of Legends; Star Craft II; World of Warcraft; Diablo III.

Boosting is a professional help in character development and passing levels. In this case, an experienced specialist passes all levels for you, and you get a high rating and can play with the top players.

In addition to the direct passage of the game for you and get a high rating, it is important to talk to the booster to understand the mechanics of the action. Obtaining information about the specifics of passing levels and character strengths is necessary in order to match the rating you have in the future. But even losses in matches against the best teams are worth considering as experience, because playing at a high level allows you to learn and progress faster.

You should only trust your gaming account to boosters that represent well-known companies. This is to protect your account from loss and not to attract the attention of online game administrators, as boosting is not welcome. In addition, you get a guarantee that the service will be provided in full.

Syrenaica, a chilean gaming company, rocks Kickstarter!

The Chilean gaming company Syrenaica is being funded via Kickstarter and is hoping to follow the success of other Chilean companies like Puzzle Me!, which was one of the first Chilean companies to be funded that way.

Kickstarter is a funding platform primarily for creative and technology based projects. Each project creator has to decide on a certain amount of money they want to fund until a certain deadline.

If the goal is not met, nothing will be funded. So it is an “all or nothing” funding program – very challenging!

Syrenaica creates groundbreaking Games, sometimes as a natural result of a proactive culture that encourages fun. Lots of fun! They believe they ARE that kind of culture, so they are dedicated to develop games that bring the only real value that matters.

… And that is natural entertainment, brought to you by their new game called “Evilot”!

And it appears that Chilean indie game developers IguanaBee were affirming it in real time.

From developing augmented reality games for consumer based brands to 3D audio games for blind gamers, they are going to the outer boundaries of niche markets in the gaming world. Their next stop…China.

QB9 Brings International Attention to Latin American Game Developers

Growing up, many Latin Americans had to constantly adapt to economic and political uncertainty and a business bureaucracy that people in Silicon Valley couldn’t even dream of confronting. This has forced entrepreneurs here to think outside-the-box from an early age, and develop a fiercely independent streak, which is crucial for tech innovation,” says Vinod Sreeharsha, a Sao Paulo-based U.S. journalist who has written extensively about the Latin American tech industry.
