Technoblade was diagnosed with Sarcoma, a type of cancer that affects bones or soft tissues in one’s body. However, that didn’t stop him from fighting back. Alexander even initiated a fundraiser for the Sarcoma Foundation of America, where he donated $340,000 with the help of his community.
Alex was a Minecraft Legend
Alexander mostly spent his Minecraft time on the popular Hypixel server. He was extremely good at player versus player combat and once took down Dream in a match, winning $100,000 in prize money. In fact, he is widely regarded as one of the best players in Minecraft’s history, with a brilliant track record in tournaments and challenges.

Technoblade was a phenomenal content creator.
His attitude throughout his content is what I aspire to be. Not to take things seriously, joking around, and trying to make others smile.
Even with cancer, he just tried to make others smile and laugh.
RIP to a genuinely funny man
