About

Alan Ruan, known as ethos, is a Valorant streamer and competitor who became known for playing Yoru.[1][2] He was born in North Carolina to Chinese immigrant parents.

NRG

He joined NRG as a content creator on February 24, 2021.[3] In 2023, he served as the team's sixth man and was part of its VCT Masters Tokyo roster.[4] In an April 2023 interview, he said he attended practice every day and focused on individual decisions to help the starting players. He explained that he hoped not to have to substitute for an ill or unavailable teammate, because the five regular players had practiced together.[5]

Tournament appearances

In January 2023, he won Nerd Street's Valorant Lockdown event at Localhost Fullerton with Where is Fullerton, a team that included Governor. The team won four matches and dropped only one map.[1]

At the February 2024 TurboTax Expert Invitational: All-Stars, he captained Chica and Noko on the team that finished second.[4]
