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 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.
Absolutely shocked. RIP Technoblade. You were a role model, a kind spirit, and a good man. Your legacy will never be forgotten.
