Biography

About Herberth Andrade

The name ARES did not come from branding. It came from a League of Legends tryout. When Herberth was called up to compete for a spot in Brazil's Tier 1 competitive circuit, he needed a player name. He had been playing Aatrox obsessively — a champion named after the concept of war — and reached for the Greek god behind it. Ares, god of war. The name stuck, and so did the standard it implied: you show up prepared, or you do not show up at all.

Before founding EloAscend in 2021, Herberth worked as a high-elo booster and coach across multiple platforms on the Brazilian server, eventually expanding to NA. What he found across those years was consistent: platforms treating players as transactions, support teams that disappeared when something went wrong, and a general assumption that players who paid for boosting or coaching had no right to expect respect, transparency, or accountability in return.

EloAscend was built as the answer to that experience. Not the loudest platform, not the cheapest, not the one with the most marketing — the one where quality was structural, not accidental. Where boosters were verified before assignment, not after a complaint. Where payments were held in escrow, not released on faith. Herberth's background as a Grandmaster Top laner shaped every operational decision: the five-layer security protocol, the coach vetting standards, the monthly program's continuity framework, the refund policy's documentation. None of it was borrowed from competitors. All of it was built from the player side first.

Today he oversees all editorial content on EloAscend — reviewing every service page, pricing claim, and competitor comparison before publication. The standard he applies is the same one he applied to the platform itself: if you cannot defend the claim with verifiable data, you do not make the claim. The reviewedBy credential on every EloAscend page is not a name attached for optics — it is a specific human being who has read the content and is accountable for its accuracy.

Areas of Expertise

What Herberth Oversees at EloAscend

High-Elo Operations
Built and maintains EloAscend's booster and coach verification pipeline — rank proof, identity checks, and consistency audits before any player receives an order. Grandmaster-level understanding of what high-elo execution actually looks like in practice.
Ranked Policy Monitoring
Monitors Riot's Terms of Service, ranked integrity updates, and detection methodology to ensure EloAscend's security protocol stays current. The five-layer security model (VPN, offline mode, no-chat, champion pool matching, encrypted credentials) was designed and is maintained by Herberth.
Editorial Oversight
Reviews all EloAscend service pages for accuracy, E-E-A-T compliance, and claim defensibility before publication. Every pricing figure, competitor comparison, and safety claim goes through a review cycle to ensure it is verifiable and not misleadingly absolute.
Service Architecture
Designed the structure behind EloAscend's service catalog — from the escrow payment model to the monthly coaching program's continuity framework. The goal in both cases was the same: build systems where quality is enforced by the structure, not dependent on individual luck.
EloAscend History

Building EloAscend — From Frustration to Platform

2021
2021
EloAscend Founded
After years working as a high-elo duo booster and coach for other platforms — and watching players get poor service, slow support, and zero accountability — Herberth built EloAscend from scratch with a single operating principle: treat every player like they deserve a real answer and a quality result.
2022
2022
Verified Booster Pipeline Launched
Implemented the rank verification and identity audit system that became the foundation of EloAscend's roster. All boosters required rank proof and performance consistency review before assignment — a standard that was not common across competing platforms at the time.
2023
2023
5,000+ Orders Milestone & EUW Expansion
EloAscend crossed 5,000 completed orders and expanded dedicated booster coverage to EUW and EUNE with server-specific booster pools. Escrow payment model formalized as the default checkout flow — funds held until delivery confirmed on every order.
2024
2024
Coaching Program Structured
Launched the monthly coaching program with same-coach continuity, written post-session notes, and the $14.33/h effective rate. Built the coach vetting standards for the coaching roster — separate from boosting requirements, focused on communication quality and session methodology.
2025
2025
300+ Roster & Multi-Server Scale
Grew the active booster and coach roster to 300+ verified players across 14 servers. Implemented the 2-for-1 win guarantee and formal refund policy documentation — turning informal practices into published, player-facing commitments.
2026
2026
Editorial Review Program & SEO Standards
EloAscend reached 18,500+ completed orders. Herberth formalized the editorial review cycle for all service pages — establishing the E-E-A-T framework that governs every claim, comparison, and pricing figure published on the site.
Editorial Standard

The Editorial Approach

Every claim on an EloAscend service page is evaluated against one question before publication: can a player act on this and have it hold up? If a pricing figure is cited, it reflects actual checkout data at the time of writing. If a competitor comparison is included, it is drawn from publicly available pages with a date reference. If a safety claim is made, it is qualified with specific scope — not stated as an absolute.

This standard exists because players make real decisions based on what they read. A player choosing between boosting platforms is often making a financial decision with real account risk attached. A player booking a coaching session is investing time and money with the expectation of real improvement. The content they read to make that decision deserves the same level of accountability that the service itself is held to.

Superlatives without scope, claims without source, and comparisons without evidence are not part of the EloAscend editorial standard — regardless of how common they are across the category. The goal is not to appear authoritative. It is to actually be reliable.
