About Shanks
Ryan 'Shanks' Ngo made a name for himself in North American Valorant through his exceptional mechanical skill, particularly his crisp headshot aim that has drawn comparisons to the best fraggers in the world. Rising through the NA Valorant scene with organizations like Sentinels Academy and various tier-2 rosters, Shanks consistently proved he had the individual talent to compete at the highest level. His promotion to G2 Esports' Valorant roster represented a well-deserved step up for a player whose skill had been evident for years.
