TECHNOBLADE was a well-known YouTuber who tragically died in 2022.
But what was his real name, and what was his channel about?
The 23-year-old was born on June 1, 1999, and was also known as Techno.
In a YouTube video on his account, his dad announced the streamer’s death and shared a message from his son.
In it, Technoblade revealed that his first name name was Alex.
He uploaded his first video to YouTube in 2013, and in ten years amassed over 10 million subscribers.
Technoblade mostly posted videos about sandbox game Minecraft.
After learning of Techno’s death, e-sports gamer Jake Lucky said in Twitter statement:

“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.”
In August 2021, YouTuber Technoblade revealed that he had been diagnosed with cancer.
A protracted battle with the disease followed, and on June 30, 2022, the family of the popular YouTuber announced that he had died.
In one final post to Technoblade’s account called “so long nerds”, father shared the tragic news of his son’s passing, and Techno appeared, to thank his supporters.
“Hello everyone, Technoblade here,” the message began. “If you’re watching this. I am dead.”
“Thank you all for supporting my content over the years.
“If I had another hundred lives, I think I would choose to be Technoblade again every single time as those were the happiest years of my life.”
His dad said he’d told him: “You’ve done so much for so many people, millions of people.

“If you want to, you can rest. But if you want to write one last video and you’re waiting for things to get better, I would say don’t wait.”
Techno had spent most of the last year away from the public eye while undergoing chemotherapy.
