Pamaj\u2019s latest team is a familiar one, as he has found himself back with FaZe Clan after a five-year absence. He announced his return to FaZe with a simple post on his Twitter page, much like the one he had posted when joining OpTic years ago. As simple as the Tweet was, it was likely prompted by the fact that FaZe Clan actually let the cat out of the bag themselves before Pamaj could even announce the news. Just a few minutes before Pamaj posted the above tweet, FaZe Clan uploaded a video to Twitter featuring their latest recruit as he gives fans a tour of the team\u2019s house in Toronto. Welcome to our new Toronto winter home. :flag-ca: Thanks @RaptorsGC for letting us crash! #BellFibeHouse pic.twitter.com\/zAERFTyb2i \u2014 FaZe Clan (@FaZeClan) October 16, 2018 Shortly after word of Pamaj\u2019s return to FaZe Clan broke, Pamaj joined OpTic Gaming CEO Hector \u201cH3CZ\u201d Rodriguez on his \u201cThe Eavesdrop Podcast\u201d and discussed the reasoning behind the move. The bulk of Pamaj\u2019s motivation for leaving OpTic centered on the lack of commitment from Infinite Esports, OpTic Gaming\u2019s parent company, when it came to moving into new apartments dedicated to streaming and making content. \u201cThere was a lot of false promises,\u201d Pamaj said of dealing with Infinite Esports. \u201cWe were promised the typical things you have to have to move here. You know, you need visas and all that. And we were promised that and it didn\u2019t work out. Why it didn\u2019t happen? I still don\u2019t know.\u201d That was just the first \u201cred flag\u201d for Pamaj, however, as his move was further cemented when Infinite began making decisions that didn\u2019t go along with the culture that had been fostered within the organization for so many years. The biggest of which was the decision to drop the OpTic Gaming Halo roster a week before the World Championships. \u201cI still don\u2019t fully understand what sense that makes,\u201d Pamaj said of the situation. \u201cIt\u2019s a family and to sit here and watch them pick it apart without any, I guess, empathy, just kind of hurt.\u201d All of the negative decisions eventually became too much for Pamaj to deal with, leading to his departure from the Green Wall. Once it came time to find a new home, FaZe Clan was in a unique position to be much closer to his family. \u201cI get to be closer to home,\u201d Pamaj said. \u201cMy brother lives in Toronto with his fiancee. My friends are all living out in Toronto now. The people I grew up with.\u201d While one might expect him to take a bit of time after leaving the organization where he\u2019s spent the last five years, Pamaj looked to be right back into the swing of things immediately, not just with his FaZe Clan house tour, but with content of his own. Once the word was out, it was time for Pamaj to show fans that he\u2019s ready to hit the ground running with his content creation efforts by posting a brand-new Black Ops 4 montage to his official YouTube channel. While everyone was anxiously awaiting to hear where Pamaj would end up landing, it looks he was already hard at work making new content. With Black Ops 4 content rush just getting underway, we can expect to hear plenty more from Pamaj in the coming days and weeks.
