Marlon ‘Lon’ Marcelo:

“In a historical event like this, I’m very happy to be part of the official Philippine coverage team. I have been casting Dota since the WC3 days and this is somewhat of a dream come true for me because before I retire from casting, I want to cast at The International. To be able to cast for our kababayan and to watch the TI live is very Exciting and Byutiful .”

Aldrin ‘Dunoo’ Pangan

“Isang napakalaking karangalan at surpresa at the same time nitong pag kakataon na ito since sinong mag aakala na makakapunta ako sa pinaka malaking Dota2 tournament as an official caster, hindi ko inakala kahit sa panaginip ko, na mabibigyan ako ng ganitong klaseng opportunity.”

“(This [opportunity] comes as a big honor and surprise at the same time. Who would have thought that I would be able to go to the biggest Dota 2 tournament as an official caster. I won’t deny that even in my dreams, I never thought I’d be given this kind of opportunity.)”
