Shotgun-only Raze player qualifies for Grand Finals of VALORANT Challengers Indonesia

In a stunning upset, Rayvaldo "ray4c" Chandra from Dominatus qualified for the Grand Finals of the VCT 2023 - Challengers League Indonesia: Split 2 - Main Event by using only shotguns. In a 2-map game against BOOM Esports, ray4c got 32 kills out of 38, all with VALORANT's arguably most annoying weapons; shotguns.

Given that shotguns are not typically regarded as the best weapons in VALORANT, this accomplishment is remarkable. They can be challenging to use because they have a limited range and poor accuracy. ray4c was able to overcome these obstacles and make use of the shotguns, however. He frequently sneaked up on his adversaries with the shotguns and then let loose with a devastating blast. He also used Raze’s mobility to full send it and get some kills with his masterclass Raze entry.

Using unconventional methods in VALORANT

ray4c's performance is evidence of his awareness and mastery of VALORANT Agent Raze. He has demonstrated that using unconventional weapons can still result in success if used correctly. His performance will undoubtedly motivate other athletes to take risks and think outside the box.

This kind of competitive VALORANT stats are extremely difficult to obtain. Shotguns are not the most widely used weapons in the game and can be challenging to handle correctly. However, ray4c has demonstrated that they can be used efficiently. Being a true pioneer, he will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on the VALORANT meta - though that's up for debate.

The success of “Shotgun-Only Raze” resonated throughout the community, with many people are talking about it. While some are in awe of his talent and originality, others are left wondering how he managed to pull it off. Regardless, the VALORANT community has taken notice of his performance. Take a look at some reactions:
