What is FaZe Clan?
FaZe Clan is one of the largest eSports organizations in the world.
FaZe clan was founded in 2010 as a Call of Duty team by Eric "CLipZ" Rivera, Jeff "House Cat" Emann, and Ben "Resistance" Christensen, who reportedly met each other while playing COD Modern Warfare 2.
In 2012, the organization began growing and reached 1 million subscribers on YouTube after posting multiple videos of them playing different games.
By 2020, they had become the fourth-most-valuable eSports company in the world at $305 million with revenues reaching $50 million the following year, according to Forbes.
"We started out as internet kids armed with cameras and a diehard love for video games. We've turned our passions and struggles into a global creative engine that has no boundaries and continues to define gaming culture," FaZe states on their website.
