FaZe Clan secures major C$30 million investment loan FaZe ClanFaZe Clan has secured a $30 million CAD loan agreement heading into 2020, the esports and entertainment giant announced this week, after entering a convertible loan facility with one of Canada\u2019s leading credit providers. As one of the biggest names in esports, and entertainment, FaZe has certainly risen high since its inception in 2010. Once a simple gaming clan sharing highlight reels on YouTube, the company has grown into a multi-title esports empire. Now, with the help of financial advisor Canaccord Genuity, the gaming clan has secured a whopping C$30 million loan \u2014 an estimated US$22.7m, or \u00a317.3m \u2014 to help them continue to expand their gaming empire well into the new decade. While some may expect to see FaZe turn their new investment pool into a dedicated esports facility in a similar vein to the new 100 Thieves Cash App Compound, dubbed \u201cthe biggest esports headquarters in North America,\u201d or Team SoloMid\u2019s $13 million, 25,000 sq. ft home base in Playa Vista, the org has other plans. According to Head of Esports Erik Anderson, anything on a grand scale like that are \u201ca bit further off\u201d for the gaming empire that started as FaZe Sniping a decade ago, especially considering the global reach of their rosters. \u201cI get why some of the teams are putting those facilities in place. [However], there\u2019s ample boot camp space out there for our teams to use [while] traveling the world.\u201d Anderson told the Esports Observer in late 2019. FaZe had to consider its \u201cmany players around the world,\u201d Anderson explained, and added \u201cuntil [the clan] consolidates everybody in one place,\u201d the org would steer clear of building developments: \u201cWe don\u2019t think it\u2019s fully necessary.\u201d Those stars around the world come in all shapes and sizes for FaZe. As well as competing in titles like Fortnite and FIFA, the clan competes on multiple fronts in Rainbow Six, on the CSGO circuit, and in the newly-franchised Call of Duty League. The org\u2019s CDL team kick-started their new life as Atlanta FaZe just over a week ago, edging the New York Subliners 3\u20131 after dismantling preseason contenders Dallas Empire 3\u20130 to take the top spot alongside the Chicago Huntsmen. FaZe\u2019s Counter-Strike is also poised to walk a new road in 2020, with the BLAST Premier Spring season opener chalked for Friday evening. The European roster, helmed by Nikola \u2018Niko\u2019 Kova\u010d, will face Ninjas in Pyjamas first up. It\u2019s not been all smooth sailing, however, with two major controversies flaring up in 2019. Fortnite star Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney\u2019s high-profile legal battle to leave the org, and Ricky Banks\u2019 \u201chotel rampage\u201d both marred an otherwise strong year. It doesn\u2019t hurt that they also signed superstar streamer Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff in May, a move that CEO Lee Trink called \u201cthe most important player signing in the history of esports, period.\u201d 2019 has been an unforgettable time for FaZe Clan, with countless new memories made across the world to celebrate forever\u2026 and none of it would be possible without the new faces who joined us this year. THANK YOU, to everybody who’s become a part of our family! \u2764\ufe0f#FaZeUp pic.twitter.com\/xUIOlfmUQZ \u2014 FaZe Clan (@FaZeClan) December 31, 2019 Despite any success and disappointment in and out of the gaming world, there can be no denying FaZe is thriving as one of the biggest esports and entertainment orgs in the world, especially considering this recent cash injection. The clan currently boasts 4.26 million followers on Twitter\u2014the most of any gaming team around the world\u2014and doesn\u2019t look like slowing down any time soon.
