A wave of members ending their contracts with FaZe Clan over Christmas has left fans shocked. They are questioning if this is the end of the content house era for the group and what has happened to FaZe Clan. Dozens of creators announced that they have left the organisation. The exits came after months of tense talks with new management and left the future of FaZe’s creator in doubt.
FaZe Clan members’ exit move leads to ending rumors
Many of the creators posted short, personal messages about why they left. Adapt wrote, “14 Years… Over half my life, I’d be lying if I said this didn’t hurt,” and added that “the best is yet to come.” Meanwhile, YourRage said, “I’m Sorry to any supporters I/we let down… I wish it didn’t have to be this way, but that chapter in my life is FOREVER closed now.”
On the other hand, Kaysan wrote, “This one really hurts. I’ve bled FaZe to the core, and I’m proud of what I did and what we accomplished.” These posts made clear the departures were emotional and final for many involved.
Behind the exits are business and control disputes. An investor and new management partner, Matt Kalish of HardScope, said the existing financial model was “unsustainable” and offered creators new deal terms or the chance to go independent. Kalish said he had invested in the group and that his role was to help scale creators into larger businesses.
However, some creators felt the proposed terms limited their control. PlaqueBoyMax has said he left earlier because “we have no control… it’s like we’re puppets.”
FaZe co-founder Banks answered the public fallout with blunt posts of his own. He defended the support the group received from leadership, saying he had personally financed housing and taken risks. In a post, he accused some creators of being “incredibly ungrateful” and called their public statements fake.
Furthermore, he publicly clashed with PlaqueBoyMax, calling his account of events untrue and criticizing career choices. Banks’ strong response widened the split between the organization and departing creators.
FaZe issued a statement acknowledging the departures as “heartbreaking” and called the end of this era “beyond tragic,” while saying the group would continue to support the people involved.
