Popular Minecraft YouTuber Technoblade is no more, after losing a battle against cancer at 23.
This was revealed in a video uploaded on his YouTube channel titled ¡°So long nerds¡±, narrated by his father. In the video, he revealed that his real name was Alex and thanked his fans and fellow streamers for their support throughout the years.?
He stated, ¡°Hello everyone, Technoblade here. If you¡¯re watching this, I am dead. Thank you all for supporting my content over the years. If I had another 100 lives, I think I would choose to be Technoblade again every single time, as those were the happiest years of my life.¡±
In the video, he thanked them for supporting his channel by purchasing merchandise and jokingly shared that his siblings ¡®are going to college¡¯.
He started his streaming career in 2013 where he grew in popularity as a Minecraft streamer. His videos have garnered over 1.2 billion views.
He revealed to his audience last year that he was diagnosed with sarcoma -- a rare kind of cancer that affects tissues, bone and muscles after he noticed pain and swelling in his right arm.?
In a message shared by Technoblade¡¯s mom at the end of the video, she shared how Technoblade persevered through the battle with impossible odds, ¡°This past year had a lot of rough spots for our son as he battled stage four cancer. But he didn¡¯t complain, kept using his famous strategic mind to try to beat what he knew were almost impossible odds.¡±
People on Twitter too shared their grief.
