About

Ryan Ngo, known as Shanks, is a Valorant player who helped Rise reach the grand final of the 2021 North American Last Chance Qualifier. The team defeated FaZe and Cloud9 before beating 100 Thieves in the upper-bracket final.[1]

He joined NRG in December 2020 after playing for Dignitas and standing in for Immortals. With Dignitas, he placed fourth at the Pop Flash Ignition Series event.[2] By March 2021, he had left NRG.[3]

Playing alongside poised

The five members of Rise's lineup had been together since July 2021. At Rise, his older brother Kevin Ngo, known as poised, was his in-game leader. Shanks told Nerd Street that his brother's trust gave him the freedom to try plays even during a poor match.[1]

G2 and Red Aura

By June 2026, Shanks was a creator for G2 Esports. The organization announced that he would host a live reading of its fantasy-action comic Red Aura for the English-language launch on WEBTOON.[4]
