22-year-old YouTuber Technoblade makes videos about Minecraft. He was found to have a tumor. The YouTuber Dream then decided to convert his next run in Minecraft into money for cancer research. Quickly, some tens of thousands of US dollars were raised.
This is what Technoblade says: YouTuber Technoblade (22) had withdrawn for a few days. Now he spoke up: He says he suddenly had pain in his arm at the end of July, which did not improve, even though he rested. On the contrary: Now his shoulder was severely swollen. Therefore, he went to the doctor.
The doctor diagnosed “tumor” on August 2.
Technoblade has since begun chemotherapy. At first, it was okay, but now the therapy is taking a toll on his strength. Suddenly, nothing worked anymore – his energy level had simply dropped to zero.
In a video, Technoblade urges his fans to protect themselves and others. They should wear masks and get vaccinated against Covid-19. Because people like him, with weakened immune systems, are particularly vulnerable to the virus.
YouTuber Dream donates $1 per coin at Minecraft tournament – And it went well
This is how the biggest Minecraft streamer reacts: The mysterious YouTuber Minecraft, Dream, who never shows his face, spoke up. He wished Technoblade a speedy recovery and said: He will donate $1 for every coin that his team collects at the next big tournament. The money is to benefit cancer research.
The “coins” are points in the 16th Minecraft Championship (MCC). Dream’s team impressively scored 21,409 points there over the weekend.
Dream thus donates $21,409, as he announced on August 29 (via twitter).
The special thing is that other streamers and YouTubers have already spoken up and announced they would match Dream’s donation (via twitter).
At the time of the announcement, they had no idea that Dream and his team would perform so well – but this apparently served as a special motivation to really excel at the tournament.
One can assume that Dream’s action will ultimately raise far more than $50,000 for cancer research, but also encourages many young Minecraft viewers to engage with the topic of “cancer” and prevention.
Dream’s popularity is extraordinarily high. The cheating allegations have been quickly forgiven by many fans:
