"Hello everyone, Technoblade here. If you're watching this. I am dead," he wrote in the message, read by his father. "Thank you all for supporting my work throughout the years.

Technoblade's family released a statement that appeared at the end of the video on Thursday.



"We the Technoblade family Technoblade, wanted you all to know just how much he adored and valued his fans and colleagues. Since the beginning of Technoblade's online presence, he was always strategizing ways to delight and reward his audience," it read.



"Even after his success, he managed to keep his charming humility. He competed with an endearing balance of his confidence and self-deprecating. He was averse to fame and made every effort to keep his real identity private. We request that you respect his wishes to safeguard his privacy as well as the privacy of his family."



Technoblade's online store has a tribute message to him, explaining that a portion of proceeds from online purchases will be donated to the Sarcoma Foundation of America. Technoblade's family will manage this store online. We are thankful for the joy he has brought us over the years, and we hope to keep spreading his message," it says.

Technoblade's fans and friends have posted further truly moving tributes to him online. Some are co-creators, some are collaborators, and some have been following Technoblade for many years.
