Six influencers recently announced that they are leaving esports group FaZe Clan after unsuccessful contract negotiations with new management.
reports Bloomberg influencers known as Adapt, Jason, Ronaldo, Lacy, Rage, and Silky – the entire roster on the FaZe Clan website – all announced that they would be leaving the group.
Adaptation written in X that he has spent 14 years as part of FaZe Clan: “Over half my life, I would be lying if I said it didn’t hurt, but it had to be done.”
Another FaZe Clan member who left in August described the situation as one of influence that felt “out of control, and like we were puppets.”
The influencer has reportedly been negotiating with Faze Clan investor HardScope and CEO Matt Kalish for the past year and a half. Kalish plans to continue the group without losing his influence.
“My best guess is that all the kids are good and have a lot of ears and are confused,” he told Bloomberg. He also said the group’s current financial structure was “unsustainable.”
FaZe Clan went public in 2022, but the company was bought by GameSquare for $17 million the following year, and Its CEO was fired.
