Temperrr explains why FaZe Clan \u201cwouldn\u2019t exist\u201d without OpTic Gaming As the pioneers behind two of the most legendary and prestigious organizations in esports, OpTic\u2019s Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2018 Rodriguez and FaZe Clan\u2019s Thomas \u2018Temperrr\u2019 Oliviera reveal how the two teams likely wouldn\u2019t exist as they do today, without the other. Both OpTic and FaZe Clan share their origin story in Call of Duty sniping. Once fierce rivals on YouTube, battling each other for the best sniping highlights and montages, the organizations would go on to venture into other forms of competitive gaming, entertainment and merchandise brands. Perhaps unlike any other esports organizations, OpTic and FaZe cultivated a \u2018lifestyle\u2019 around their teams, players and content creators, taking the medium of gaming entertainment to the next level. Despite their historic rivalry, however, Temperrr admits that there would likely be no FaZe Clan had it not been for OpTic Gaming, when discussing the org\u2019s history on H3CZ\u2019 eavesdrop podcast. \u201cIf you guys weren\u2019t around, FaZe wouldn\u2019t have existed,\u201d the FaZe co-owner explained. \u201cWe looked at (OpTic) like \u2018oh, wow, this is possible, we can make a sniping team,\u2019 you guys made it happen first.\u201d H3CZ explained that the idea behind the \u2018snipers only\u2019 team was actually put forward by his younger brother, Pedro \u2018TUMORS\u2019 Rodriguez. Timestamp at 33:00 minutes for mobile users. Temperrr reminisced on the first time he truly realized the potential of FaZe and sniping in general after \u2018Illcams 5\u2019 \u2013 the organization\u2019s acclaimed montage series.

Although both FaZe and OpTic still produce sniping and trickshotting content, it now takes somewhat of a backseat to their other ventures. Both organizations have admittedly not had the best 2019\u2019s so far, with OpTic being bought out by Immortals Gaming Club in a controversial takeover which has soured fan sentiment, and FaZe Clan troubled with controversy over famed Fortnite pro Tfue, and his contract issues. Despite these issues, both remain as two of the most popular and beloved brands in esports and gaming at large, and have cemented their legacy \u2013 no matter what the future holds.
