Ryan3

Ryan3 is the competitive name of Qihong Chen, a 21-year-old Chinese bot laner representing Thunder Talk Gaming in the LPL. As an AD carry, he plays the role built around scaling damage, tasked with becoming the focal point of his team’s offense as matches stretch toward their decisive later stages.

The Marksman’s Craft

Bot lane carries live and die by positioning. In the early game, Ryan3 must focus on farming safely and coordinating with his support to establish a foothold in the bottom lane. As the game develops, his role transforms into that of a primary damage dealer, standing at the edge of teamfights and dealing sustained damage while depending on his teammates to protect him. The best marksmen combine mechanical sharpness with cool-headed decision-making, knowing exactly when to step forward and when to hold back. It is a role where a single misstep can be punished instantly.

Competing for Thunder Talk Gaming

Thunder Talk Gaming is one of the organizations navigating the fierce competition of the LPL, and Ryan3’s place in its bot lane makes him a key contributor to its results. At 21, he brings a blend of youth and accumulating experience to the role, and his partnership with his support is central to how the team approaches the bottom side of the map. Building that duo chemistry is often what allows a carry to play with confidence and consistency.

The LPL is a proving ground unlike any other, celebrated for its mechanically intense play and relentless early aggression. For a marksman, that means bot lanes are frequently sites of constant pressure, demanding resilience and adaptability. Ryan3’s challenge is to remain a dependable source of damage while weathering the difficult matchups that a long season inevitably brings.

What Lies Ahead

As a young carry still developing, Ryan3 has time on his side. The coming seasons offer him the chance to prove he can consistently translate lane play into teamfight impact and to establish himself among the LPL’s competitive bot laners. His growth will depend on refining his positioning, deepening his synergy with his teammates, and rising to the demands of one of the sport’s toughest environments. For Thunder Talk Gaming, his continued progress will be an important piece of the puzzle.
