Ninja reveals how FaZe Clan helped Tfue gain early success Ninja – Instagram \/ FaZe Clan – TwitterProminent streamer Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins has given his take on the ongoing controversy involving FaZe Clan and their star Fortnite Battle Royale pro player Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney. There is no doubt that, for the past day, the biggest storyline in esports has been the lawsuit that Tfue filed against FaZe Clan, which was officially made public news on May 21. The news sparked major debates across social media, drawing out reactions from top members of the online gaming community, including Ninja. Commenting on the controversy during his livestream, Ninja revealed that FaZe played a major role in helping Tfue gain a lot of success early on, since it was thanks to the org that the pro player was invited to exclusive Fortnite BR tournaments. \u201cI\u2019m literally in a group chat with KEEMSTAR,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd he said that the only reason Turner was invited to compete in those tournaments, like the Friday Fortnite tournaments, was because he was on FaZe.\u201d YouTuber Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem\u2019s Friday Fortnite tournaments during May and June of last year were one of the first truly popular competitions organized for the popular battle royale. Tfue and his FaZe duo Dennis \u2018Cloak\u2019 Lepore dominated the series, winning four tournaments together while no other player ever won more than one. With those competitions gaining massive viewership and coverage on Twitch and across esports, Tfue\u2019s legend as a dominant force continued to grow. The point that Ninja and many others have tried to make is that being on FaZe was instrumental for Tfue to become the mega star he is today, which he should have taken into account before agreeing to file the lawsuit. Why is Tfue suing FaZe Clan? Tfue\u2019s lawsuit against FaZe Clan is based on the grounds that the org violated California law by allegedly limited his ability to pursue his profession. According to his lawyer, the org took 80% cut of all the revenue from his branded videos on social media, a claim which has been vehemently denied by FaZe founder Ricky \u2018Banks\u2019 Banks. In addition, the lawyer also accused FaZe of \u201cjeopardizing the health, safety, and welfare of its members,\u201d which includes serving alcohol to members before they\u2019re legally allowed to drink, and pressuring newly signed underage players to lie about their age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
