Who was Technoblade

Technoblade became a member of the Dream SMP Minecraft server in 2020, which he began frequently creating content on. In association with the server, Technoblade had a friendly rivalry with fellow Minecraft YouTuber Dream.

They contested recognition for the title of "the best Minecraft player" across their fanbases via a series of player versus player duels organized by fellow YouTuber MrBeast, which Technoblade won. Around the time of his death in June 2022, Technoblade had reached 10.8 million subscribers.

In September 2021, Technoblade raised over $300,000 for the Sarcoma Foundation of America through a charity livestream, passing the $250,000 goal within 2 hours.
