The gaming world was shaken as the news of the tragic passing of celebrated Minecraft player Technoblade emerged. After a valiant battle with cancer, Technoblade left this world, leaving behind a void that can never be filled. He was only 23, yet his impact on the Minecraft community and beyond was immeasurable.
The heart-wrenching news was shared in a poignant video on his YouTube channel, titled “so long nerds”, which was posted for his 10 million devoted followers. In this video, his father read out one final, gut-wrenching message. “Hello everyone, Technoblade here. If you’re watching this, I am dead,” he began, sending shockwaves through the hearts of his fans.
“Thank you all for supporting my content over the years. If I had another hundred lives, I think I would choose to be Technoblade again every single time as those were the happiest years of my life,” his words resonated with a depth of gratitude and love for his fans and the game he cherished.
“He was the most amazing kid anyone could ever ask for,” his father said with a voice filled with emotion. “I miss Technoblade.
“Thank you to all of you, for everything. You meant a lot to him.”
Technoblade’s prowess in Minecraft was well-known, especially on the Hypixel server. The team there paid a touching tribute with an In Memoriam message. “He will be remembered fondly and missed deeply,” it read. “He was a kind, talented, passionate young man with extraordinary potential. We are so thankful to him and grateful to have had him be such a prominent part of the greater community. In many ways, the success of many of us is tied to the success of Technoblade.
“As a personal note from me (Simon), I want to say how proud I am of what he has accomplished. I’m happy we shared great memories together, from our duels where I got completely outclassed to the rank ceremony, events, and many more. I have a hard time watching these videos now; we didn’t know these were the good old days.”
The outpouring of support from prominent YouTubers and esports players was a testament to Technoblade’s influence.
“I’ll never forget the day I met Technoblade. I left work early to play in a Minecraft tournament with him. I barely knew how to play… and the dude still carried us to win the entire fucking event,” recalled J Schlatt.
“Rest in peace, big guy. You’ll always be a legend.”
