In the world of professional League of Legends, boost season is the time between competitive seasons where players can buy and receive elo boosts. This usually happens in the offseason, after a World Championship has concluded and before the next competitive season begins. Players who purchase elo boosts during this time do so in order to start their new season at a higher rank than they would otherwise be able to achieve on their own. This gives them a significant advantage over other players in the early stages of the new season. Boosting services typically see a surge in business during boost season, as many players are eager to get ahead of the competition.
