Dota2: New Fall Update adds “LAKAD MATATAG! Normalin, Normalin” back to the game

Earlier today, Valve paid a tribute to Aldrin “Dunoo” Pangan, a Filipino caster who passed away last week by adding the voice line Lakad Matatag! Normalin, Normalin as a part of the DOTA2 Fall Update. The voice line was first added to the game during The International 2019 as a part of the event’s compendium and was made available to customize your chat wheel.

The duo of Dunno and Marlon “Lon” Marcelo had brought to us, LAKAD MATATAG! Normalin, Normalin, is deemed to be the most famous voice line ever in DOTA2. They had initially come up with the voice line during the match-up between Team Secret and Fnatic at the ESL One Katowice in 2018. 

Lakad Matatag! Normalin, Normalin is none other than the Tagalog language, spoken in the Philippines. Adding this voice line back to the game was a huge honorable thing Valve could do for Mr. Aldrin Pangan as the whole DOTA2 community was heartbroken after they learned about his passing away from complications due to the ongoing COVID-19 virus. It was also spammed by a plethora of teams at the DOTA2 International and has delivered great fun while doing the same. 

Let us break down this famous voice line for you and know what it actually means.

  • Lakad: Walk
  • Matatag: Be Stable
  • Normalin: Right click on the hero or attack normally.

Three iconic voice lines were added to the game as part of the DOTA2 Fall 2021 Update and are as listed below:

  • LAKAD MATATAG! Normalin, Normalin
  • Easiest money of my life!
  • The next level play! 

These voice lines will be made available to you, this fall season via specific guilds that have achieved the platinum tier. So do make sure your guild hits the platinum tier level in order to customize your chat wheel with these three lines.

Valorant: First look at Fracture’s Map Layout, Lore and Release date

0

Announced recently, Valorant’s upcoming map- Fracture, launches alongside Episode 3 Act 2, and is the game’s seventh map, after Bind, Haven, Split, Ascent, Icebox, and Breeze. 

Fracture Map Layout

Fracture is Riot Game’s unique take on traditional 5v5 map design, which is usually focused on offering an equally balanced experience for both attackers and defenders. 

Having an H-shape design, both sites are a complete opposite of each other as  A-site feels barren, desolated, and has a bleak environment while B-site is full of greenery and life. Brian Yam, Valorant’s Lead Artist, said that this design allows for “visually interesting storytelling by prompting players to question the events that took place and the radical results that ensued. It also provides clear player orientation from a visual and callout perspective.” 

The mid-region of the map contains ziplines underneath for traversing between sites A and B and is where defenders will spawn. Breaking away from the traditional fps norms, fracture now divides attackers and spawns them on two sides of the map, putting a huge pressure on defenders as they’ll have to be extra careful since they will be surrounded from both sides.

Riot will also focus on Valorant’s lore, as Fracture was a result of a “covert experiment gone wrong” and will be our first look into the Mirror Earth Kingdom. Fracture expands on the mirror-verse theory which surfaced after the Duality cinematic. “Our aim was to give players a further peek into the conflict at stake between these two worlds,” said David Nottingham, Valorant’s Creative Director, “ in Fracture, we see that perhaps there are aspects of the conflict not as black and white as might initially appear.”                                                                                                                                                                             

Valorant’s upcoming battle pass and Episode 3 Act 2 will launch on September 8 with Patch 3.05 and fans can only hope that Fracture will answer some lore-related questions.

ESIC Commissioner Claims That Chinese CSGO is “80% Fixed”

In a recent episode of HLTV Confirmed, the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) commissioner Ian Smith has claimed that as much as 80% of the games in the Chinese CSGO scene are fixed.

This comes as a shock to many avid CSGO fans and calls into question the integrity of the professional CSGO scene in China. The commissioner said that the reason Chinese CSGO isn’t broadcasted on HLTV is that most of its games are fixed, which results in the sponsors backing out and the prize pool experiencing cuts. 

“Who takes the hit? Prize money reduces when sponsors back out, when broadcasts stop, when HLTV don’t want to put something on because they think it’s corrupt or fixed like 80% of Chinese CSGO,” Smith said during the interview. “Why is there no Chinese CSGO on HLTV? Because it’s fixed! It’s not worth putting on, right? …It’s the players who take the hit, and you guys who take the hit!”

The Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) is a non-profit members’ association established in 2015 to promote and facilitate competitive integrity in esports.

The news comes after the ESIC handed out five-year bans to CSGO pros Sebastian “retchy” Tropiano and Kevin “4pack” Przypasniak after an audio clip of them attempting to fix a game in the ESEA Premier season 35 North America surfaced. 

With the Chinese CSGO scene constantly growing larger, the numbers stated by Smith should certainly be a cause of concern for the CSGO community.

Pokimane Reveals Here Biggest Obstacle In The Way Of Reaching Immortal Rank In Valorant

0

Popular Twitch streamer and personality, Imane “Pokimane” Anys has opened up about the difficult obstacles she is facing on her journey to reach Immortal rank in Valorant. 

Pokimane is on a dedicated rank grind to hit Immortal rank soon and then reach Radian. But the streamer has failed time and time despite dedicating a lot of time to the grind. While her skills are almost on point to rank up, the in-game harassment and bullying have made it extremely difficult for her to rank up solo. 

In a post, on her Twitter she said:

“I find my biggest issue is I don’t like to talk too much in-game (ppl get weird about me being a girl / being poki), and that doesn’t work with being a sova main Smiling face with tear and I don’t have a dependable duo to comm on my behalf ~ 

so I’m gonna look for one + learn solo q agents” -imane (@imane)

https://twitter.com/imane/status/1431353998863446023

The problem of toxicity and anti-competitive behavior is present in almost every online multiplayer game. But the issue is more apparent in the case of streamers that are often subject to stream snips and more toxicity in general.

Plus being a female gamer there are instances where teammates would act differently upon finding out that there’s a girl in the team. While some become overly affectionate and drop weapons unnecessarily, others are plain rude to play together. Due to this, Pokimane refrains from using her mic in the game, and her team coordination suffers. 

She currently mains Sova, who leans heavily on comms and team play. The role requires active use of the microphone, something that she can’t do. She has 3 more accounts which she uses to try out other “solo q agents” in different ranks and get used to them before switching her main Sova to another agent.

Pokimane is currently Diamond in Act 1, while her brother has already reached Immortal rank despite putting in a lower number of hours in the game than her. 

CSGO Smoke Bug Wallhack Is Back

Counter Strike and bugs is a tale as old as time, and when a game that has been around as long as CS:GO has, it’s bound to have bugs and glitches every now and then. We all remember then infamous smoke that didn’t bloom instantly and couldn’t control the spread of a Molotov, ‘ropz’ dying to a chicken blocking a door, or even more recently, steps in the water being heard from EVERY position on the map on Ancient.

The smoke bug is no different, be it a regular matchmaking game or at the highest level of Professional CS, it is ever-present. The smoke bug is most prevalent when it is used to extinguish a Molotov or incendiary grenade and temporarily gives the player clear vision through the smoke. Reddit user u/Heinzelboss showed just how menacing this bug is and how it can ruin games by giving the other side a very undeserved advantage.

What is even weirder is that the bug doesn’t reveal what is on the other side of the smoke, and only highlights the outline of the player moving through the smoke. In the new meta, some players such as ‘electronic’ and ‘next sit inside the smoke to wait it out, to catch the opponent off guard, and give themselves a split-second advantage.

This was also highlighted very recently in a Group Stage game between Natus Vincere and FaZe Clan for the top spot in Group C. On the B site of Inferno, Finn “karrigan” Andersen tried to smoke a molly and run through to it. But as you can see, his model was very clearly outlined by the bug giving ‘Perfecto’ an easy chance to kill him and turn the round from a 5v5 to a 5v4 for his team.

Will this bug be patched by Valve anytime soon? All we can do is wait it out, as the company that made the best FPS game for over 2 decades stays silent on most issues and fixes them in the next update. This is of course before the bug is back in some form or the other.

So, as every caster very often tells you, the smoke is not a wall and it will not protect you from stray bullets, smoke walks, or even Smoke Criminals jumping through it.

Here’s Why People Are Boycotting Twitch Today

0

Twitch stats have taken a massive hit today as several popular streamers are partaking in ‘A Day Off Twitch’ movement and choosing to stay off the streaming platform for a day. 

For the unaware, ‘ADayOffTwitch’ is a boycott of Twitch for a day organized by renowned streamers in protest against the recent rise of hate speech and harassment on the platform and Twitch’s inability to tackle the problem accordingly. 

‘A Day Off Twitch’ boycott has been organized by popular streamers like RekitRaven, ShineyPen, and Lucia Everblack in response to the ‘hate raids’ that have been causing problems in the streaming community. These hate raids are organized by toxic viewers who use the ‘raid’ feature on Twitch to spread hate speech and harassment towards certain streamers on the platform. 

The boycott has been organized in protest against these hate raids and to force Twitch to implement changes to tackle this issue. 

So far, ‘A Day Off Twitch’ has been a successful boycott to say the least. According to a recent Tweet from Zach Bussey, Twitch had apparently taken a hit of 5,000 online streamers and 500,000 viewers at the time of writing. 

His Tweet reads, “According to charts from TwitchTracker, there are *currently* about 5000 fewer streamers live right now than last week and ~500,000 fewer viewers. (That’s a significant drop.)”

The boycott is expected to last for a day and participating streamers will likely return to streaming tomorrow. However, whether or not Twitch can regain its prior numbers post-boycott still remains to be seen.
