FaZe Clan is a professional esports team with teams competing in Call of Duty and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. FaZe was founded as a gaming clan on YouTube by FaZe ClipZ, FaZe Resistance and FaZe Housecat (later named Timid) making trick shotting videos in the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. These early members originally created sniping videos in the Call of Duty game series. The team would later be led by current leader and owner FaZe Temperrr. However, during Black Ops 2 in 2012 they decided that they wanted to expand into the competitive scene. FaZe Red placed 3rd at the Call of Duty Championship 2015 and won the 2015 Season 3 championships. The FaZe YouTube channel was created on May 30, 2010 and as of January 6, 2016 has 3,566,201 subscribers, making it one of the most subscribed gaming teams on YouTube.[citation needed][1]

Biography

Call of Duty

The beginning of FaZe

Their first roster was created in 2012 consisting of Heist, Folsom, Secretly, and Sham to compete at the MLG Winter Championship 2012. Their next roster was Heist, Methodz, Replays, and MBoze. The team finished 5th place and took home $2,300 at the event. The roster got a complete makeover going into UMG Atlanta as only Replays stayed to be joined by Slacked, Huhdle, and SpaceLy. The team made the semifinals of the eight team invitational, but were eliminated by eventual 2nd-place finisher, compLexity Gaming. To close out Black Ops 2, the team attended the 4 team MLG Fall Invitational. The team once again kept the same roster but finished 4th place and winning no money.

Call of Duty: Ghosts

At the Championship, the team was upset by the Australian team Trident T1 Dotters in group stage but were able to advance to Bracket play with two big wins over SK Gaming and Aztek Gaming. They secured the 2nd seed in their group and set a match with the other Australian team, Team Immunity. They avoided another upset by defeating them 3-0 with the one of the top European teams, Epsilon eSports. They won again to set up a match against the favorites compLexity in which FaZe lost 3-1. The team but lost their next match the Losers bracket against Strictly Business 3-0. The team finished 6th place and walked away with $50,000.[2]

FaZe participated in the MLG Season 3 championships.[3]

Roster troubles

Much later in to the life cycle of Call of Duty: Ghosts, FaZe saw yet another roster change; however this change is a result of personal issues between Parasite and his teammates and he got benched. Shortly after a very professional ordeal coming out of Censor, his actions are quickly undone as Dedo is traded to Evil Geniuses in exchange for a temporary loan of Karma, and Parasite is back in play.[4]

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Advanced Warfare was released in 2014. As yet another series of Roster Swaps went down, FaZe were a part of the action. In the finals FaZe won two best of 5 series to take MLG Columbus and $10,000 with Censor picking up three kills in the final round of the game 5 SnD.[5]

New squad and new success

As Advanced Warfare continued to move along, a deal was struck upon between FaZe and Denial Esports. FaZe reportedly found that Huke and Slasher were unsettled at FaZe and were shopping themselves to other teams. As a result, the organization and key members ZooMaa and Enable, traded the two, for Denial COD Champions James "Clayster" Eubanks and Dillon "Attach" Price[6]

The deal established FaZe as a top three team, and the new squad made strong showings in the Pro League, as well as multiple LAN wins. Their first of which was the UMG Dallas 2015 event, in which they beat OpTic 3-0.[7]

Soon after the squad traveled to Europe to try to win the 2015 GFinity LAN event. FaZe ran through the tournament with ease and were pitted once again against OpTic gaming in the final. OpTic picked up a 3-0 lead in the best of 4. However, FaZe made the 3-0 comeback to win the LAN event.[7][8]
