“We, the family of Technoblade, wanted all of you to know just how
much he adored and respected his fans and colleagues.
From Technoblade's earliest online days, he was always strategizing
ways to delight and reward his audience - giving away online prizes,
encouraging good sportsmanship, and most of all sharing his Minecraft
adventures for entertainment and laughs. Even after his eventual
successes he somehow managed to keep his good-natured humility,
competing with an endearing balance between confidence and self-
deprecating wit. He avoided personal fame and worked hard to keep his
true identity confidential, and we ask you to continue to honor his wishes to
protect his privacy and the privacy of his family.
This past year had a lot of rough spots for our son as he battled stage
four cancer. But he didn't complain, and kept using his famous strategic
mind to try to beat what he knew were almost impossible odds. My son's
bravery on this path was a shining lesson to all of us who were privileged to
walk it with him. Thank you for sharing his journey through it all, as he did
the work he loved for his beloved fans.
