On June 30, it was announced that Minecraft YouTuber Technoblade had passed away after losing his battle with cancer. The 23-year-old YouTube star revealed his diagnosis to fans in 2021 before stepping away from content creation to undergo chemotherapy for his illness. Since his passing, Technoblade\u2019s audience \u2013 as well as his family, friends, and the YouTube community \u2013 have rallied together to help donate and support the Sarcoma Foundation and other cancer research companies alike in his honor. As a way to further help raise awareness, Dream\u2019s first livestream since revealing his face \u2013 uploaded on October 18 \u2013 featured Technoblade\u2019s father, the video centering on remembering the late YouTuber while also encouraging viewers and community members to donate to the Sarcoma Foundation. The foundation is a nonprofit organization that helps improve early diagnosis of sarcomas and related tumors as well as improve treatment options, outcomes, and overall quality of life for people who have been diagnosed. At the beginning of the stream, Dream explained how he has been working with Technoblade\u2019s father to find ways to help raise awareness for the cause and encourage people to donate. \u201cEver since Techno\u2019s passing, we\u2019ve been talking and communicating about how we can do the best and raise the most money that we can.\u201d Dream added later in the video that \u201cCancer doesn\u2019t get as much funding as you may think.\u201d Technoblade\u2019s father then spoke about his grief journey, candidly recounting what the final week of Technoblade\u2019s life looked like. \u201cThe grief wants to be the only thing that is happening and I went through. I was there for his whole life\u2026The last week of his life was mostly painful. I don\u2019t want the last week of his life to be the thing that cements itself in my head.\u201d However, his father explained that he wants his son\u2019s audience to remember \u201cthe whole person.\u201d The two then traded stories about Technoblade, with Dream recounting how he and Technoblade went from \u201crivals\u201d and \u201cfrenemies\u201d to then developing a deeper friendship and relationship. Explaining how this shift in their dynamic first began when the two \u201cteamed up\u201d for the Minecraft Championships. Techno\u2019s father told stories from when his son was younger, recalling how he used to make fun of his son for how seriously he took playing video games when he first began streaming. How if the power ever went out and Techno lost progress in a game, he would correct Techno and say that \u201call of that play wasted\u201d when his son would refer to the progress lost as \u201cwork.\u201d His father then revealed that \u2013 while Techno had no concrete plans before his passing \u2013 he was wanting to do a face reveal \u201ceventually.\u201d \u201cIt was something he had thought about. He never really got the gimmick or hook that would have made it work.\u201d And while he may have passed away before Dream\u2019s face reveal, the content creator emotionally spoke about how the two discussed it together so much that it \u201cmakes [him] feel like he is a part of it all.\u201d To wrap up the hour-long video, Dream and Techno\u2019s father talked about what Technoblade\u2019s audience \u2013 as well as the general public \u2013 can do to help support cancer research and raise awareness. \u201cMost people know someone who has been affected by cancer,\u201d says Dream. \u201cIf you can\u2019t donate then try and raise awareness, spread the word.\u201d Technoblade\u2019s father added that \u201cI know that Techno had quite an audience and it seems like he really meant a lot to people\u2026.I\u2019m so proud of him and humbled and grateful.\u201d Finally, he thanked those who have already donated and supported the Sarcoma Foundation, explaining how those working there \u201chadn\u2019t seen anything like it before\u201d when discussing the way Technoblade\u2019s community has rallied around him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
