E-sports will never be the same without you kuya D! Lakad matatag!
You suddenly left this world and I still can't believe that the person who was a big part of my shoutcasting life is not around anymore. Seeing all the posts about you for the past days made me so proud of you and how much impact you brought not to the local esports scene but to the whole esports world. Multiple International organizations and personalities have posted their condolonces and mourned your loss because you are a LEGEND. You've put the Philippines in the map like no other esports Icon has done before. Your lines, energy, passion talent are simply incomparable.
"LAKAD MATATAG!! NORMALIN NORMALIN" will forever remain as a legendary line that have captured the hearts of those who who heard it. You have showed the world through your shoutcasting how passionate Filipinos are about the games we love. The jokes, the laughs, the incredible play by plays, the honest opinions and a little mix of trashtalk were what made you, you. I have always respected you as a shoutcaster not just because of your sheer talent but because as a shoutcaster myself I know how physically draining it is to shout, analyze, look into the details, identify a story while making sure that you're in the moment.
But you..
You were different. You always had the capacity to do all these and more. I remember watching you shoutcast for 5-7 hours during our dota 1 days and I was always amazed of the amount of energy, focus and amazing words that come out of you whenever I watch you.
Being a shoutcaster is not simply talking about the game, it is a responsibility to handle who you highlight and what to highlight.
Your opinions will send waves to those who are watching and sometimes one moment, allows you to make an underdog turn into a superstar and you were the best at all these. Everything you did was definitely "The next level play, the next level play"
You can count on me na everytime may magtatanong sakin kung ano ka at sino ka gaya nung mga tanong sakin nung nakaraang araw.. Ikkwento ko lahat kung pano ka kaenthusiastic magkwento
saming lahat kung sino ka at kung papano ka naging pinaka sa larangan na to at anong mga nagawa mo...
DOTA 2 shoutcasting will never be the same without you man. The world will never be the same without you. Cheers Kuya D! Pahinga ka na. Salamat sa lahat. Sa lahat lahat. Mamimiss ko kwento mo.
