‘where I’ve been’
In a video titled “where I’ve been,” published on August 27, 2021, Technoblade said that he had been diagnosed with sarcoma in early August after experiencing discomfort and swelling in his right arm.
Doctors found the cancer early, so Techno concentrated on receiving chemotherapy treatments.
He advised his viewers to obtain the Covid-19 vaccine and take the required measures later in the video because he was now immunocompromised and at a higher risk.
From the moment he made the announcement, he received support from YouTubers for the Roblox game KreekCraft, HelloItsVG, and Ryguyrocky, as well as from Dream, DanTDM, CaptainSparklez, and other members of the Dream SMP, Wiki reports.
Fans honor Techno with art
Many of his fans have created art pieces to honor his memory.
Most depict him with his signature crown, smiling and living on in different games.
Known for his PVP skills
The Minecraft community knew Technoblade for his prowess in PVP (player-versus-player) warfare, per his fan Wiki.
He was the only YouTuber to have won the Minecraft Monday tournament four times, earning him the [PIG+++] status on Hypixel.
He frequently worked with other well-known YouTubers, many of whom he met through Minecraft Monday; some of them were even his colleagues at the time.
Techno’s video habits
The majority of Technoblade’s videos were created on the Hypixel Minecraft server, according to his fan Wiki.
Although he had attempted (and failed) to make daily episodes, the interval between his video uploads was often a week to a month.
He also broadcast live Minecraft gameplay on YouTube, participating in Minecraft Mondays, the MC Championship, SMP Earth, Minecraft Story Mode, Party Games, and the Dream SMP.
Along with TommyInnit, Ph1LzA, and Wilbur Soot, he was a member of Sleepyboisinc. Tommy had given him the moniker The Blade.

Sarcoma is a tumor that develops in the soft tissues and bones, per the Mayo Clinic.
These are rare types of tumors that develop in connective tissue like muscle and fat as well as in bones.
Most of the time, the exact etiology of sarcoma is unknown. Family history and radiation or chemical exposure may raise the risk.
Tumor kind and location influence symptoms. They might have a palpable bump or soreness.
Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery are all possible forms of treatment.
