The YouTuber and Minecraft gamer known as Technoblade has died from cancer, aged 23.
His father posted an emotional farewell message to his channel, which his son had prepared before he died.
In the video, called “so long nerds”, his father says his son wrote a goodbye note and “he asked me to read it to all of you”.
