New details of 2018 lawsuit vs FaZe Clan emerge amid Tfue legal battle New materials have emerged regarding the ongoing lawsuit against esports organization FaZe Clan, from failed social media platform Hubrick, which could also play a crucial role in Tfue\u2019s legal case. The report from The Blast on June 5 details that FaZe are accused of \u201cbreaking away from the company and raiding the corporate offices in the middle of the night.\u201d FaZe Clan is currently embroiled in a highly-publicized legal battle with former player Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney, who is reportedly pursuing litigation over his contract with the organization. Hubrick was started by Norwegian entrepreneur Sebastian Guerts, who formed a business relationship with FaZe co-founder Tommy \u2018Temperrr\u2019 Oliviera, who later described Guerts as a like a \u201cbig brother\u201d. Current FaZe Clan CEO Lee Trink was also recruited as part of the joint venture between Hubrick and FaZe. Hubrick\u2019s lawsuit, filed in 2018, apparently claims that they were \u201cscrewed over\u201d, describing the incident specifically as \u201ca case of an unabashed theft of a business by a group of its employees, officers, directors and joint venture partners. In what amounts to an overnight corporate raid.\u201d According to documents obtained by The Blast, FaZe stole \u201cdozens of computers and gaming stations, some of the office furniture (\u2026) and left it ransacked as little more than piles of empty boxes\u201d. The Blast also obtained images of the offices following the alleged \u2018raid\u2019, which show the presumably empty PS4 and ASUS monitor boxes, and empty desks. FaZe \u201cowes their success to Hubrick\u201d, claims report Additionally, Hubrick claim to have \u201cfunded FaZe directly\u201d with a $1.3 million deposit into a FaZe bank account, according to the report. The investment provided by Hubrick is believed to have helped build the most expensive CS:GO team ever, featuring an all-star lineup of five of the best players in the world. Hubrick is said to be seeking an amount in excess of $1 million for \u201cintentional interference with prospective economic advantage and misappropriation of trade secrets.\u201d How does this relate to Tfue\u2019s lawsuit? Blast sources have also claimed that the Hubrick lawsuit is \u201cimportant\u201d to Tfue\u2019s legal team, as it serves as an example of \u201chow poorly the business was being ran at the time.\u201d FaZe co-owner Ricky \u2018Banks\u2019 Banks previously admitted that Tfue\u2019s contract was \u201chorrible\u201d, and stated that he had \u201cmade the mistake of allowing shit people to run (the) business. We\u2019ve solved those issues and are trying our best.\u201d The report indicates FaZe Clan are now apparently facing a double-barrel of civil litigation, as both Tfue and Hubrick pursue damages. The organization are also facing accusations of knowingly recruiting an 11-year-old Fortnite player and streamer, H1ghsky1, claiming he was 13. His real age would violate Twitch\u2019s terms of service, which stipulate streamers must be aged over 13. On June 5, H1ghsky1\u2019s channel was banned, but it is currently unclear if the cause of the suspension was related to his age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
