Known outside the Rift as Ting Yi Ong, BornThisWay is a 25-year-old jungler from Malaysia who plays for Inferno Esports. He comes out of the Southeast Asian competitive scene, a region known for its devoted fans and a steady stream of skilled players in every role.
No role in League of Legends spans the map quite like the jungle, and it rewards players who plan a few moves ahead. Junglers aren’t anchored to one lane. They move through the neutral areas between lanes, clear camps, fight over objectives, and choose the moments to start ganks. Tempo and awareness define the position: tracking where the enemy jungler is heading, timing dragons and Rift Heralds, and driving the early fights that often decide how a game unfolds.
As a member of Inferno Esports, BornThisWay takes on the responsibility that comes with leading from the jungle. Since the role reaches every corner of the map, junglers often call the shots, lining up their teammates around key moments and turning small leads into bigger ones. That communication load means the position depends as much on judgment as on mechanical skill.
At 25, BornThisWay brings a level of composure to a role that values patience and discipline. Junglers with real competitive experience usually handle pressure with more care, knowing when a fight is worth taking and when to farm quietly and wait for a better chance. In Southeast Asian esports, where regional scenes often act as stepping stones to international recognition, that calm approach is a real asset.
Looking forward, BornThisWay’s growth will hinge on the core skills of top-tier jungling: tighter objective control, cleaner ganks, and the proactive map presence that sets the pace of a match. As he keeps playing for Inferno Esports, the question will be how well he can turn the jungle’s freedom into steady, game-changing impact.
