It almost happened. FaZe Banks has revealed Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson wanted to join FaZe Clan, and Banks turned him down not once, but twice. It\u2019s hard to imagine a world where FaZe Beast is a thing, but apparently, it almost happened twice. That\u2019s according to FaZe Banks, the founder and co-owner of the massive organization. He spilled the beans in a recent episode of the No Jumper podcast and lamented over the missed opportunity, describing at his \u201cbiggest f**k up.\u201d However, there are no hard feelings about it, and they\u2019re still in touch. \u201cI still just know that it wouldn\u2019t have ever worked long term, [but] when [we] originally started this CloutGang sh*t, I missed on him twice,\u201d he said. FaZe Banks explained that MrBeast was \u201cthe biggest FaZe fan\u201d and tried to join for the first time five years ago. But unfortunately, it didn\u2019t eventuate because he \u201cwasn\u2019t a gamer,\u201d which was their main focus at the time. MrBeast tried again once they started the CloutGang. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t completely off the table because he was a substantially sized guy. Nothing compared to where he\u2019s at now.\u201d But in the end, he turned him away because he was \u201ca great kid,\u201d which didn\u2019t fit the bill. The relevant part of the video starts at 6:55. It would have been hugely disappointing for MrBeast at the time. However, it all worked out for him, considering he\u2019s now one of the most successful YouTubers of all time. FaZe Clan is still doing pretty well themselves. Sometimes things just aren\u2019t meant to be. However, it\u2019s not always the end of the world, and this is a textbook example.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FaZe Banks reveals MrBeast almost joined FaZe Clan: \u201cI missed on him twice\u201d YouTube: FaZe BanksFaZe Beast?
