hypixel tweeted about techno, i'm reposting it in tumblr format:
"Words cannot describe how we, the entire Hypixel Team, are feeling today. Technoblade will always be remembered as one of our best, right from the start. Simon has released a statement from himself and the Hypixel Team, you can find it here https://hypixel.net/threads/in-memoriam-technoblade.5007404/
On the Hypixel Server, if you look for the Memorial Guide in any main lobby, you can leave a message for Technoblade's family. The book will be available for a month and we will print most, if not all, of your thoughts and send it to them. Please do limit your message to a page."

here is simon's statement on the forums post:
"We at Hypixel are deeply saddened by the announcement released by Technoblade’s family that he has passed away after his long-fought battle with cancer.
He will be remembered fondly and missed deeply. He was a kind, talented, passionate young man with extraordinary potential. We are so thankful to him and grateful to have had him be such a prominent part of the greater community. In many ways, the success of many of us is tied to the success of Technoblade.
When he first joined our community in 2013, he had great ambitions and was eager to learn game design and much more. Technoblade was one of the first to join one of the Hypixel teams that handled feedback and game balance and quickly became a friend amongst our team for years to come.
Technoblade then became one of the most internationally adored YouTubers with over 10 million subscribers. With multiple various Hypixel series’ and his participation in groups like MCC and Dream SMP, he was able to bring joy to a huge audience and create memories for us all to cherish. Beyond his considerable success, he was a dear friend to many of us on the team and in the community.
Technoblade led a fundraiser for the Sarcoma Foundation of America, where he and his community raised over $340,000. If you wish to make a donation in Technoblade’s honor, visit curesarcoma.org/donate/ and enter TECHNOBLADE as the ‘Tribute Name’. Additionally, the Hypixel and Hytale teams will be donating $50,000 to the Sarcoma Foundation of America in Technoblades’ memory.
With the consent of his family, we’ll also be establishing a tribute to Technoblade in the Hypixel main lobby. The memorial, which will be open until the end of July, will allow players to add themselves to a book of condolences. We’ll later have the book moderated, physically printed, and presented to Technoblades’ family.
As a personal note from me (Simon), I want to say how proud I am of what he has accomplished. I’m happy we shared great memories together, from our duels where I got completely outclassed to the rank ceremony, events, and many more. I have a hard time watching these videos now; we didn’t know these were the good old days.
Rest in peace Technoblade. We will miss you dearly, friend.
On behalf of the entire Hypixel community,
Simon, Noxy, and the Hypixel and Hytale teams."
