FaZe CBass leaves after 12 years at organization In a December 4 post on Twitter\/X, CBass announced that he would be leaving FaZe Clan after 12 years. The 29-year-old first joined FaZe as a content creator back in its Call of Duty trickshotting days, before becoming the organization\u2019s first employee. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to summarize what it\u2019s like to make a group of friends playing video games at 16 years old, and spend the rest of your life turning that hobby into a globally recognized company,\u201d CBass wrote. \u201cWhen I first came across FaZe Clan in 2010 it wasn\u2019t a business, it wasn\u2019t a brand, it was a YouTube channel with 500 subscribers \u2013 and more importantly, nobody other than us thought it was cool.\u201d \u201cThere was no pathway at that time to doing anything other than staying in your room & not telling anyone else about it,\u201d he explained. \u201cWhen the YouTube partnership program opened up and we were one of the only gaming channels accepted, something clicked. We stuck to a formula that worked for us, we worked hard at it, we loved it, and it wasn\u2019t long before we were the fastest growing gaming brand on the internet.\u201d CBass continued: \u201cManaging the content & our roster wasn\u2019t a \u201cjob\u201d for me then, it was simply what I loved to do, and I\u2019ll be thankful for those early memories and the friendships that have carried with them for the rest of my life.\u201d In his statement, CBass provided clarity to fans, claiming that when the money first started coming in so did people who weren\u2019t focused on the FaZe\u2019s true passions or interests \u2014 something which several other members have voiced their frustrations about over the years. \u201cI spent years sitting across the table from executives who effectively told us, \u2018thanks kids, we\u2019ll take it from here!\u2019,\u201d he claimed. \u201cEvery day FaZe Clan lives on is a testament to the fact that you can do it too.\u201d CBass added: \u201cWe would be nothing without the people who\u2019ve represented us over the years, and hopefully there will be many more to come.\u201d In the replies, FaZe fans and associates showed a ton of support and appreciation for all that he has done for the organization over the years. \u201cForever a legend in this space. Wishing you all the best,\u201d said former FaZe member Spratt. \u201cAppreciate all the time, work and energy you have put in to help make this scene something it is today,\u201d one fan wrote. \u201cForever an absolute legend man,\u201d another added. It\u2019s clear that despite having disputes with members such as Rain towards the end of his time at FaZe, CBass will be greatly missed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
