In the most recent update for DOTA 2, developer Valve Software added a tribute to the late Aldrin Paulo “Dunoo” Pangan. The legendary Filipino commentator that recently lost his life to COVID-19.
“We were saddened to hear recently of the passing of Aldrin Paulo ‘Dunoo’ Pangan, an icon of the Filipino casting community,” Valve said on the DOTA 2 blog. “As a tribute, for the next season, the selected chat wheels feature some of his most iconic lines.”
The platinum-tier chat wheel lines include:
- “Easiest money of my life!”
- “Lakad Matataaaag! Normalin Normalin.”
- “The next level play!”
Even if you’re not familiar with DOTA 2, Pangan’s energy during matches was unparalleled. Check out a clip of him going wild for yourself below
DOTA 2’s community is still processing the grief that comes with Pangan’s passing as well.
Today is a sad day for the Dota community and Filipino esports as we have lost one of our voices.

Extremely sad to hear the passing of Aldrin Paulo "Dunoo" Pangan. I don't understand Tagalog but his passion for PH Dota and the PH teams was unrivaled. Filled me with hype any time I listened to his snippets. My condolences to his friends and family in this difficult time. :((
