Filipino Shoutcasters Lon and Dunoo: The Story Behind Lakad Matatag

Filipinos are mostly known in the boxing sports, thanks to the great fighter, now Philippine Senator Manny Pacquiao, and singing reality shows like the Got Talent and Idol franchises where a number of Filipinos have snatched some titles.

The four-word-phrase that the duo said kind of stuck among the Dota 2 community, and it now appears in most chatwheels. It has even become a catchphrase for the game.

What is Lakad Matatag?

While Lakad matatag is now common in Dota 2, it has a weird origin but certainly a catchphrase. "Lakad matatag normalin normalin" has a few layers of meaning. In direct translation, lakad matatag means walk strurdy while normalin means to make a basic attack.

Although "walk strongly and do some normal attacks" may sound logical, lakad matatag goes beyond the literal meaning as it is actually a message of encouragement.

In chatwheels, lakad matatag is often used to boost the morale of the team. However, In Dota 2, Lakad matatag can be easily accessed in a chat wheel or even used as a Lakad matatag ringtone if you're really into the game. This has made lakad matatag one of the best popular phrases associated with Dota 2.
