The farewell message, written moments before his death and read by his father, read: "Hello everyone, Technoblade here. If you're watching this. I am dead."



He went on to reveal that his real name was in fact Alex, reminiscing about the time he tricked viewers into believing his name was Dave.



He said, "Thank you all so for your support of my work throughout these years," he added. "If I had another hundred life, I think Technoblade would be my top choice again. Those were the best years of my life."



The online star, who took home Minecraft tournaments and had thousands of fans talking about him in a funny way while playing the game, explained in a February video of a fundraising campaign that he received radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and a limb rescue operation after developing a painful tumour.



Sarcoma, a rare type of bone and soft tissue cancer is the reason for his death.



He revealed his diagnosis of cancer in August 2021. He explained that he initially thought the pain he was experiencing was from an injury to the muscles from repetitive stress caused by playing too much. He was diagnosed with cancer after his arm started swelling.



Technoblade's real identity is not known. But his online avatar was a photo of a crown-crowned porcine.



He has 10.8 million subscribers to his YouTube channel, where his bio reads: "I play video games too much. I may not be the most skilled but I do have hot elbows."



'Strategizing in heaven'



In the wake of news of his passing his gamers, fans and YouTubers paid tribute on the internet.



"I'll never forget the day I met Technoblade," recalled J Schlatt. "I went to work early in order to play in an Minecraft tournament with Technoblade. I didn't know how to play... but the dude was able to get us through the whole event.



"Rest in peace, big guy. You'll always be a legend.



YouTuber Captain Puffy also known as Cara, tweeted: "Rest In Peace Technoblade. He always treated me with pure kindness. I was never excluded from anything." He couldn't have been more gracious!"



She added: "Thank you for everything you've done for the community, it will never be the same without you."



Tommy Innit said: "Technoblade is legendary. I cannot express how grateful I am to be in his life, from being a huge fan to being one of his closest friends. I am sure he is working in heaven to overcome God ...".



Ludwig Ahgren added, "I've been watching Technoblade for more than an hour." "He was so clever and humble even in the toughest of times. He will always be a role model to me."



Quackity also expressed his appreciation on his blog Quackity also expressed his gratitude online, writing: "I had to have the opportunity to share how much admiration I had for Technoblade, not only for his huge impact on us all as well as his humour that is amazing even in the darkest of times." I will miss him so greatly."



"May he rest in peace,"added eSports gamer Jake Lucky.



Technoblade's father thanked his fans in the farewell clip, noting that "you really meant a lot to me"



He said that a portion of the proceeds from online purchases for his late son's merchandise would now go to charities.



The video ended with a letter from his family, which included the following: "We, the family of Technoblade we wanted all of you to know how much he adored and respected his fans and his colleagues.



Technoblade was active since the beginning of his career. He was always looking for ways to delight and reward his followers. He gave away prizes online, encouraged good sportsmanship, and even shared his Minecraft adventures for laughter and entertainment.



"Even after his eventual triumphs, he managed to maintain his good-natured humour, and compete with a charming balance of confidence and self-deprecating humor."



Minecraft allows players to create their own virtual world by digging holes and collecting blocks.



Recent updates of the game have been used to aid children in exploring and improve their professional skills and expertise and also to find solutions to real-world issues such as flooding.



Ted Nevison described Technoblade to be "effortlessly hilarious" and "endlessly talented". "Gone too soon," he said.



Bad Boy Halo also paid their tributes, saying: "Words cannot express how you'll miss. The lives you touched and the impact you've made on them will last for eternity."



Slimecicle said Technoblade's "personality and sense of humour were an inspiration to me and many others."



"Thank you for all that you gave to a world that took you too soon, you will always be an icon."
