Valve announced their recent Dota Plus Fall update and included a touching dedication to Aldrin Paulo “Dunoo” Pangan who passed away on August 26 2021 due to COVID-19.
He was a legendary Filipino caster in the Dota 2 community, who alongside Marlon “Lon” Marcelo, voiced the most iconic line in the chat wheel, “Lakad Matatag, Normalin, Normalin.”
Many of their voice lines from this match between Team Secret and Fnatic were added in the The International Battlepass since then.
