Banks says FaZe is \u201cfiguring\u201d out NICKMERCS relationship after reboot FaZe ClanFaZe Banks has revealed where Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff stands with the organization following the reboot and purge of some members. Over the last few years, FaZe has gone through a lot of changes. They\u2019ve moved away from those sniper clan roots, becoming about having a variety of content creators under one umbrella. The gaming organization was also opened up for investment and partnered with B. Riley Principal 150 Merger Corp, but after being listed on the stock exchange, things fell off. The original members, including FaZe Banks, urged the then-leadership to fix things and hand the keys back to the content creators who had helped grow FaZe into what it has become. Well, he got his wish back in October 2023, and quickly removed some of FaZe members that had joined under different leaderships. Despite being a longtime FaZe member, NICKMERCS\u2019 status was left up in the air, but now Banks has clarified a few things. \u201cNICKMERCS. Still currently in FaZe. We\u2019re still kind of figuring out what that relationship looks like,\u201d the FaZe Clan CEO said a July 27 stream. \u201cGreat f*cking guy, I love Nick, I love his family.\u201d As noted, FaZe has let go of plenty of employees since being back under Banks\u2019 leadership. 110 employees had been removed at one point, according to Banks. While he had that number at 30, he still wanted to shrink things down to about 10. Nick is a partial owner of FaZe, which he got after leaving 100 Thieves, but he admitted to being left in the dark over the cuts at the time. \u201cI don\u2019t want the drama, I don\u2019t want the bulls**t,\u201d he said. The streaming star has had his own issues recently, being banned from Twitch for the first time for using a transphobic slur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
