Father of Technoblade, YouTube Minecraft Star Says his Son has Died

  He read his son's final message on the YouTube channel where the 20-something had entertained more than 11 million viewers with Minecraft gameplay and wry commentary. The titlewas So long nerds. Technoblade, a YouTube personality who built a following of millions with his humorous comments on videos of him playing Minecraft, has died, his father announced in a post on his son's YouTube account. Technoblade's Minecraft gameplay was watched by more than 11 million players. He was a commentator on camera. While he was usually focused on what was happening in the game, in certain videos he described everyday life events such as visiting the D.M.V. Or as devastating as a cancer diagnosis. Technoblade's YouTube channel released a video entitled so long geeks on Thursday. The video was watched more than 26 million times since Friday afternoon. The video is an exception to the channel's usual aesthetic, which features colorful bricks with pixelated colors. Instead, a man who identifies himself as Technoblade's father appears sitting in a chair on a stark white backdrop, with a small white dog on his lap. His father, who does not identify himself, reads a message from his son that begins: Hello, everyone. Technoblade is here. If you are watching this, I am dead. The message then goes on to reveal Technoblade’s first name, Alex. He didn’t use it online. A few photos of Alex and his loved ones are also included in the video. He rarely showed himself in YouTube videos and preferred to present himself in a crowned sword-wielding porcine. If I had another hundred years to live I'm sure I'd prefer to be Technoblade again every single time, Alex's letter says. Those were the most enjoyable years of my life. His father, who is crying throughout the video, says that Alex and he had been discussing for months about whether to record a final film. Instead, Alex decided to write the letter, and died approximately eight hours after completing the work, his father claims. He says, I don’t think he did everything he wanted to, however I believe he was able to get the main points. The video ends with a written statement attributed to Alex's mother, who isn't named. She said that Alex was not famous and self-deprecating despite his channel growing in popularity. From Technoblade's earliest online days, he was constantly figuring out ways to please and reward his audience by offering online prizes as well as encouraging good sportsmanship, and, most of all, sharing his Minecraft adventures for entertainment and laughs, she wrote. Alex's family couldn't be reached on Friday. Hypixel is a gaming company that worked with Technoblade, said the family requested that requests for comment not be passed on to them. Don Pireso, the company administrator, stated in a tweet that The video they posted contains all the information they are confident about sharing. Alex first acknowledged his diagnosis of cancer in a video that was posted on his channel in August. The video, which featured Alex speaking off camera, showed the game. He kept his self-deprecating and humorous manner, avoiding any attempt to be serious. He also revealed his age at the time, 22. In the video, he narrated the way in which his first round of chemotherapy made him so exhausted that it was impossible to sit to make a virtual appointment with a doctor. Then the comedian joked: Sitting in a chair I am Superman? He said he was diagnosed after he experienced severe pain in his arm. Although initially he dismissed the discomfort as a result of repetitive stress from playing video games, he later admitted that his shoulder was swelling up after some days of rest. He also implored people to get the Covid-19 vaccine, stating that the cancer treatments have weakened his immune system, placing him at a higher risk of serious illness from the coronavirus. He added, I'm going ahead and represent all cancer patients when I say it is incredibly irritating when hospitals are overloaded by patients who are dying of preventable illnesses. I'm just declaring that we are the first the right to have priority over those hospital beds.
