Since announcing his cancer diagnosis last year, Technoblade began using his YouTube videos and streams to raise money for the SFA. Because of this, his fans and community members have also been raising money and donating to the Sarcoma Foundation of America.
Technoblade began his career on Youtube over 9 years ago and was well respected and regarded as someone who helped elevate the Minecraft streaming scene to the juggernaut it is today. The content creator revealed his diagnosis to fans last year. Since then, the 23-year-old YouTube star was less present online and from the spotlight as he went through chemotherapy.
Technoblade was beloved by fans for the fun and inclusive community he had created on Minecraft. His impact on Minecraft has been so profound that the devs have since added in a crowned pig to the game’s Java splash screen as a tribute.
