These 6-10 guys were the closest you could be to brothers without being actual brothers at one point, these guys were my heroes growing up, this is so so sad
Crazy how we all wanted to be in this clan at 10-13 years old and shit like this is happening now. Ever since the money started coming in heavily the whole team went downhill tbh
Rain wasnt the only one to go down the drug/alcohol route when the money came. They probably all did he was just the first to have a scare and recover and be open about it.
Yeah frrr. Along with the money came clout chasers too. Some of these members just being completely surrounded by people who don’t actually give to shits about FaZe nor the members!
This is like watching a train wreck. Breaks my heart as someone watching since mw2 days. Y’all could’ve inspired everyone no cap. The vlogs, montages, g fuel deals, streams, events were bigger than y’all will ever know and y’all could still do that, we would watch y’all.
Following since 2014 this shit hurts. I know it’ll never go back to where it was but it’s sad. There’s clearly a problem but unless it’s publicly addressed by a lot of members nothings gonna happen. Make sure nordo and Teeqo are good ❤️
FaZe fell off after first LA house. Anyone that disagrees isn’t or doesn’t know FaZe. If you’re an OG FaZe fan you know the “actual” faze stopped during that time. FaZe isn’t what FaZe actually is. It’s not a clan anymore, it’s not a friend group doing dope shit anymore. It isn’t family anymore. It’s business. And I stopped being a fan once all that stopped.
Yeah. It started after their second Clan called "red " remember that Edit: okay maybe it didn't start after red, but still cool remembering it. Red challenges and stuff
@@theoutsiderjess4869 this. Yeah you could argue they had started the fall off before that, but going public and giving these business boomers power was the worst decision they ever made.
honestly what faze is now and how everything unfolded over the years it brings tears to eyes. to hear some of my childhood youtubers and to see how horrific my childhood inspirations have been treated by a BRAND and how hard you all have worked on contributing to what this gaming culture is now. its never going to be the same. the brotherhood is gone and everyone knows but its still hard to give faze the same support i once did.
Watching faze since 2014 and when I was in highschool. Now I'm 23 with a family. Crazy cause I knew they were gonna get bigger than they already were but never expected this man. Always knew Teeqo and rain were the most real ones out of em all cause you can tell in all the old videos of them they're the most genuine.
Sad to hear you aren’t talking to any of those guys. Too bad the ownership was ever given up to certain scumbags, the organization could’ve really been special but it sucks to see it run into the ground.
I remember Faze as THE org growing up, watching MW2 videos and trying to get good myself. They seemed like a gang of bros having the time of their life, sadly business ruins that quickly..
As an OG faze fan, it hurts to watch all this go down thinking that everything was okay from the sidelines all these years. So happy y’all can come forward and explain this
I respect the hell out of you for this Lucas, I missed content from the authentic you, and this brought that back. Thank you for acknowledging this stuff, there are a lot of fans out there still rooting for what FaZe truly stands for.
Shorting Faze Stock tomorrow morning 📉 Edit: oh my god Teqqo had 9.5 MILLION in faze stock when it was at $25 a share and Blaze had nearly 5 million. Now the stock is at .45 cents geeeez.
It’s sad to hear Blaziken saying he ain’t even close to any of the NY guys after living with them for years. That’s crazy to me, they should be like almost brothers so I’d assume😢
@@ajairose6268 yeah and the root of it is business. it’s sad to see how these guys were so close and it all crumbled because of different perspectives. thats life.
For the record. Blaze you sound as clear minded as ever, never sounded like you were rambling. In fact you gotta be one of if not the most well spoken faze member. I hope you keep speaking your mind and help us understand the truth. It’s not as easy for us to understand as you, but man I wanted to win that #faze5 recruitment challenge so bad. Man I lived for this community. We don’t have a voice like you, but know that we care. I couldn’t wait to get home and just watch faze videos instead of do homework. Thank you for everything.
When he said “ there’s no culture behind it anymore “ that shit hit dead center. It sucks seeing the people ive looked up to the most in my younger years separated because of a company/brand 😪 damn It’s so sad to see ur hero’s fade away
Bro it’s sad that there was so many people that “grew up” with faze and wanted to be in faze including myself and now it all seems to have fallen apart. I wish y’all could come together and make content again
Same bro. I remember as a kid my dream was to join FaZe so bad. I used to hop on Call of Duty every single day after school and grind out sniping and trickshotting clips. I miss the family vibe FaZe used to have
Faze just needs to step back from the business part and go back to when it was a family and a community not a business.. and your right it is sad especially for us who have been watching since the beginning
I 100% agree on this. After they left New York it kinda went down hill. I love the old videos of them prancing and doing skits and everything. But they messed up going public. Bring back New York and the family it was.
Look at optic man they’ve done amazing the last few years after getting it back from nrg etc then merging with envy it shld just be a role model to the real ones in faze to kick out the scumbags and make it what it once was
FaZe is a clan, not a company. The original team is what made FaZe, and it hurts to see that some of the OG members not get any recognition from their "company". I hope Teeqo gets the justice he rightfully deserves. Lucas, I'm sorry to hear that you don't really talk to your really good friends anymore, should have never been kicked out of the house. You deserve justice as well, hope FaZe can fix itself before it crumbles.
this is actually wild hearing that you don’t speak to any of the nyc boys anymore, hope y’all can link up again and do some to bring faze back to where they were
All of this feels like an opportunity for you guys to restore your brotherhood and restructure everything… you said it yourself nobody realizes that the guys we know in faze arent running anything, so to the audience you guys still are what FaZe is, feels like a make or break opportunity to jump ship and bring everything back to what it should be
Facts. To be completely honest if every one of them jumped ship and just made a whole new clan bringing shit back to its roots I know the fan base would stick with them. That logo as much as they care about it isn’t the biggest deal imo. It’s them and the relationships they have with each other and fans.
@@masonwebster2037 You can tell none of them want to. Feels like some of those bridges have been burned especially after Temper kicked Blaze out of the house. Obviously those guys still care and want to make things right but I feel they each are okay doing their own individual thing. This situation sucks.
I like to look at yall. Its nostalgic looking at yall, takes me back 10 years. And it brings tears to my eyes so many years later you dont get that feeling anymore. God bless.
It really does hurt. These guys were a massive part of my childhood. I’m 21 now and growing up these guys were so tight like brothers. It’s definitely sad they’re not the brotherly group I grew up watching. I wish nothing but the best for all of FaZe that actually cares about the wellbeing of the community/clan
That’s what happens when you turn a gaming group into a business. Faze is going down the same path that Rooster Teeth and The Creatures did, and unfortunately Faze will be spiraling into obscurity very soon like the rest did. Stuff like this shouldn’t be a business. It never ends well
Dawg, he’s still contractually obligated to certain terms, so yes. But, you have to realize he’s posting this trying to lowkey spread awareness for teeqo. He’s trying to subtly help him.
@@StellersGEditor He’s probably still under Faze what do u think would happen to him ? Are u willing to lose Money,Share and etc ? Teeqo Specifically said he’s not afraid of anything just like Nordan they arent afraid to lose everything. Alot of them are actually dissatisfied but are keeping their mouths shut to keep themselves safe
Teeqo had a dream and it would have been beautiful to see come to fruition like the sidemen in a way, but around the time they were in Cali and some started to move out and move on, it seems like it all turned in to a nightmare behind the scenes and it is nothing but sad to see.. the bros we saw grow up and build Faze together fell apart and either adapted or were left behind by the ones who should have had their back..
Dawg this is insanely heartbreaking as a fan thats been watching 10+ years even before NY house. You guys grew up together and made something that was never made, how could u guys break a bond so strong? Money fucks with people. It's so sad that NONE OF YOU have major shares in the company. You all should be some type of owner role
the fact that these people arent arguing with each other or keeping their mouths closed shows their passion for faze. and the emotional bond these people have with one another on a deeper level from making memories with each other. this is beautiful yo get justice fr.
Breaks my heart to hear that you guys no longer talk to each other. Watching you guys at the faze house New York was truly so special and I loved all of the members all of you guys together was awesome to watch. I dreamed of joining this team. Now it's nothing but corporate business people. I always say this hut I truly mean it. The New York vibes are never going to be topped. Hope you begin talking to them again Blaze. I miss the og crew before all of these business people took over 😔
Man I do miss when all you guys were together years ago at the FaZe house, it felt like a real family and community with genuine guys being the face of it. Now it's so commercial and almost fake in a way...obviously I have lived my life and haven't watched any FaZe content since probably 2015-2016, but I remember. When Teeqo mentioned their was "no culture", I think that's the hardest hitting for people that were there in the old days, because it's true. Big respect to Teeqo for this, and I hope this can be a turning point for the future of content creation for FaZe.
this shit made me cry because THESE GUYS WERE LITERALLY MY HEROES NO CAP i was 10 years old and seeing there content skits, trickshots, and so much more dope stuff. Dude i hope you guys mature and my OG Heroes are RAIN, Blazequin, Apex, Adapt, Temper, Rug. Like bro ONLY OGs know. IM NOW 21 & to see/hear about this made me tear up.
It’s so sad that these corporate assholes caused so much damage to this amazing brand we all grew up watching as kids. I hope you guys can get these old scum bags out and make it right, and work on ur relationships. Love all you OG guys, loved watching y’all live together in the New York and LA house❤️❤️❤️
There has to be more of a clear communication between everyone around the clan. There is a lot of fail of understanding every other member in the clan to not just treat them fair but being respected as person and not just only because of a representation of being in Faze Clan, there needs to be some sort of organization with everyone in faze clan and understanding everyone and treat everyone equally with respect and not downfall or disrespect members in faze clan.
really hyped u made a video about this, I hope y’all can work together as the og group and try to make a way out of this mess where everyone can eat. I know you still care about these guys I just hope everyone can come to some sort of agreement
These videos are so needed. This is what every fan that was watching since the birth of NY house has been wondering. This is so sad to see I hate it but its answering questions we needed to hear.
it sucks really bad that faze probably will never return to how it was back then, but im happy to see you doing well blaziken. you and the rest of the members were a huge part of my childhood and im just thankful for the memories.
admirable?? thats weak as hell. he’s been done the worst out of any of them but doesn’t do anything about it bc he’s scared to be completely kicked out of faze. what’s admirable is seeing rain & teeqo risk their relationship with faze to save the integrity of the brand
@@pharaohmajor let’s be honest, rain would never be kicked from FaZe so it doesn’t really matter what he says not to mention he’s one of the biggest shareholders in the company
Lowkey wish the NY house guys took faze on the same route sidemen did. I feel like it would’ve worked out in the longterm, but I guess we’ll never know. I just hope that somehow you guys can figure out a resolution
It was so much simpler when it was just the group of you guys and the rest of the members running FaZe. It shows some people’s best interest can ruin something so great….
I wish you would make more videos like this Blaziken. You shouldn’t be scared to talk about the problems with how Faze is now, and how things need to change!
its so sad to look at the faze channel and seeing the content that exists now. looking down to the house you were in the content felt so organic and it felt like the hustle was there, its gone now. these guys make so much money that itdoesnt matter and content isnt as important. its so nostalgic to look back at that stuff now but also so depressing
Your vlogs back then used to get me through bro, i cant do anything but love you for what you’ve done for my life, as fucking corny as that sounds you were literally my only friend back then
Used to watch since the NY house. Ever since the move to LA this clan started to change and it was too easy to see, but i never knew it was this bad. This is sad to witness happen mainly because of how much i was into the group as a kid. Things will honestly never be the same for Faze.
So basically "signing" to faze is being allowed to legitimately put Faze in your name and gain the clout but the expectation is to grow on your own without any actual monetary support from Faze Clan?
echt gutes video blaze, finde es echt schade was ausm faze clan geworden ist. verfolge euch schon seit 6/7 Jahren (vor allem dich und teeqo) und finde es traurig was aus dem clan geworden ist. ab und an wünsche ich mir die alte zeit zurück :/
I don’t care what anyone says. Faze will fall and crumble like Red did could be soon or years down the road. There will be no such thing called faze down the road
Sadly, true. There probably will be a new team developed by the old members at some point, and that will be the downfall. They probably will end up buying the brand back when they bankrupt and sell for pennies. Won't be on NASDAQ anymore though but back to its original roots with no corporate.
Yeah that's true though. Finally some former members are finally exposing what Faze has become. I do want to see it fall apart just so the CEOs can suffer for what they took from the ogs.
I miss the NY house era so much. I was a lonely kid whose real friends were all on COD and watching the FaZe house videos at the end of the day gave me my only sense of community.
Shoutout to you blaze and much love to all your success and everything you have going on outside of Faze. I think you missed the mark on this one tho brodie. You can’t just chalk them speaking out to shares in the company. It’s deeper than that. There’s so many kids that look up to you guys and grew up wanting to be in Faze. You were once that same kid admiring the brand. These same kids can end up getting stuck in a similar situation. They are speaking out to create awareness and change the culture of mistreating the talent that put the brand on their backs. You should know more than any of us the countless hours and hours you put into making content and the sacrifices you made along the way. Now think of someone with 12 years in who dedicated their life to the brand and can’t get straight answers or apologies? Most ppl would feel a way. I hope this gets worked out, I know you wanna get the group back together but I think some things have to change before that. Stand with your brothers and support them in bettering the house that you guys all helped build.
really fucked with the fact u dropped actual share numbers I know it’s public but lots of people don’t look at these things and it’s really cool u bringing it to light
Blaze is real w it which I can respect. He acknowledged that it feels like a battle between two sides that he doesn’t want to choose from. He loves the brand and he loves the people who made him who he was. All love to blaze but at the same time he needs to realize he is a key factor in this and cannot stay bias in this type of situation. Stand the fuck up for the guys who brought u in. The bag isn’t worth losing people who will be there for u in the end
I remember coming home from school and waiting for an Illcam episode to come out like a favorite television series. Staying up all night with the boys trying to hit bills. Everything changed. I guess it’s all apart of life. Enjoy what you have now. One day it will be gone brothers.
I can say that it is sad, Teeqo’s fucked situation. The good thing is, you say you aren’t close with the original members, that can be fixed. To me, that can always be fixed. When you live with people and get to know them, they become really good friends. But, I hope you fix that, and I think, a way to save FaZe, is to go and make it to where it is not a publicly traded company. If you as an organization can make all these deals and drops, you can do that privately without being a tradable company. You have already built the brand, and gained the publicity. So you can make all of that happen without the corporate side, the deals, and the drops. You can still gain even more publicity and be bigger than y’all were before. I hope it all works out, and be safe.
I remember dreaming of wanting to be in Faze Clan watching all their montages, The Faze House coming together, Faze Bloo Visiting and watching him go off rapping while dropping nukes on COD in the Original Faze House it was such an escape from reality. A bad reality I had in my life and now to see how this organization is, is sad. I don't come to FaZe to escape reality no more, since the reality I would escape to, seems to be a false reality/dream. To see that fame and talent could beat hard work is sad. FaZe whole motto was if you work hard enough you could get in, now it's if you're on a pedastool you're in automatically. SAD!!! And Blaze seeing that you agree with the managers trying to gain profit anyway even if it's scummy that it's okay to you, that it's Grey and not black and white because of that. Like bro what😂. SMH FaZe is downhill. The only way for the next generation to be influenced is by the new wave of CZcamsrs tbh. Danny Duncan on top. 💯
I miss those days of dreaming to be in FaZe, watching illcams, getting hyped for new members and then going on Call of Duty to grind sniper clips or getting into a 6man to trickshot on S&D. There was No stock market, No celebrity members, No CEO’s. I miss those simple days
Lucas you’re still apart of faze and the fans love and appreciate you. This conflicting drama is alot yes but you have a bigger voice than you realize and us fans have had enough too. We want the boys to stand up!
23 years old. Been watching since mw2. Its so sad to see this is where we ended up. I have been an og fan since. I sad to think i gave up on faze when they went to LA and thats where it all went to the dumpster.
23yo too, i remember when it was about trickshotting it was such a fun time. when we used to try to climb the ranks clan hopping going from one team to the next trying to get a little bigger and bigger with faze as the end goal
it all goes to shit when there are corporate entities involved. with every big organisation you always see some of the original founders being fucked over. happening w faze rn
To this day, it's still crazy to me that they kicked you out as a roomate when they moved. Especially when they did the new house reveal and it seemed like there was PLENTY of room for you to stay. They seemed like a bunch of fake friends/family with that one.
Teeqos right. Faze NEEDS people like you, him, Nordan. Real ones. You wanna get back to “all love and being brothers”? You have to have their backs when they’re trying to give the members what they’re worth.
NY house was Goated/a Happy time. I enjoy remembering you guys like that. Meeting You, Teeqo, and Rain was a life highlight for me when i was younger. Wish yall the best
Its NOT about getting more shares from teeqos & rains POV..... It's about INCLUSION & getting THEIR already earned respect that they got from the fans that they deserve from the company. They have been THE central part of building FAZE.
These 6-10 guys were the closest you could be to brothers without being actual brothers at one point, these guys were my heroes growing up, this is so so sad

Facts bro💯
Honestly man you literally said it perfectly cause that’s how I’m feeling with all of this
thinking back to old videos to now its so sad
No cap money is the root of all evil
Crazy how we all wanted to be in this clan at 10-13 years old and shit like this is happening now. Ever since the money started coming in heavily the whole team went downhill tbh
Rain wasnt the only one to go down the drug/alcohol route when the money came. They probably all did he was just the first to have a scare and recover and be open about it.
Doing try outs by changing your clan tag
It always comes down to money. It’s one of the reasons nadeshot left optic because he wasn’t getting ownership
Yeah frrr. Along with the money came clout chasers too. Some of these members just being completely surrounded by people who don’t actually give to shits about FaZe nor the members!
The esports teams are like the only positive part of FaZe now
This is like watching a train wreck. Breaks my heart as someone watching since mw2 days. Y’all could’ve inspired everyone no cap. The vlogs, montages, g fuel deals, streams, events were bigger than y’all will ever know and y’all could still do that, we would watch y’all.

@@StellersGEditor he’s just trying to protect himself
Dawg, he’s still contractually obligated to certain terms, so yes. But, you have to realize he’s posting this trying to lowkey spread awareness for teeqo. He’s trying to subtly help him.
@@StellersGEditor He’s probably still under Faze what do u think would happen to him ? Are u willing to lose Money,Share and etc ? Teeqo Specifically said he’s not afraid of anything just like Nordan they arent afraid to lose everything. Alot of them are actually dissatisfied but are keeping their mouths shut to keep themselves safe
I miss the old days but this was everyone’s dream as a gamer to join faze and damn the clan went south
Teeqo had a dream and it would have been beautiful to see come to fruition like the sidemen in a way, but around the time they were in Cali and some started to move out and move on, it seems like it all turned in to a nightmare behind the scenes and it is nothing but sad to see.. the bros we saw grow up and build Faze together fell apart and either adapted or were left behind by the ones who should have had their back..
I miss when FaZe was FaZe
damn, I never thought that things would be like this. I hope that everything will turn out okay at the end of the day.
Shit Fr make me sad
@@kj2x484 agreed
I’ve been watching you guys for 12 years to hear you don’t talk anymore almost made me cry. The New York house has so many core faze memories
Fr
its wild how you not close to anyone anymore, friendships really got shattered so quickly
the craziest part to me is when they refer to faze as “them” when it used to be “us”
right!!!
Dawg this is insanely heartbreaking as a fan thats been watching 10+ years even before NY house. You guys grew up together and made something that was never made, how could u guys break a bond so strong? Money fucks with people. It's so sad that NONE OF YOU have major shares in the company. You all should be some type of owner role
the fact that these people arent arguing with each other or keeping their mouths closed shows their passion for faze. and the emotional bond these people have with one another on a deeper level from making memories with each other. this is beautiful yo get justice fr.
So much love for you blaze I know this video must have been hard to watch I grew up watching you guys wish the best for all of you real ones ❤️🔥
Breaks my heart to hear that you guys no longer talk to each other. Watching you guys at the faze house New York was truly so special and I loved all of the members all of you guys together was awesome to watch. I dreamed of joining this team. Now it's nothing but corporate business people. I always say this hut I truly mean it. The New York vibes are never going to be topped. Hope you begin talking to them again Blaze. I miss the og crew before all of these business people took over 😔
Man I do miss when all you guys were together years ago at the FaZe house, it felt like a real family and community with genuine guys being the face of it. Now it's so commercial and almost fake in a way...obviously I have lived my life and haven't watched any FaZe content since probably 2015-2016, but I remember. When Teeqo mentioned their was "no culture", I think that's the hardest hitting for people that were there in the old days, because it's true. Big respect to Teeqo for this, and I hope this can be a turning point for the future of content creation for FaZe.
this shit made me cry because THESE GUYS WERE LITERALLY MY HEROES NO CAP i was 10 years old and seeing there content skits, trickshots, and so much more dope stuff. Dude i hope you guys mature and my OG Heroes are RAIN, Blazequin, Apex, Adapt, Temper, Rug. Like bro ONLY OGs know. IM NOW 21 & to see/hear about this made me tear up.
It’s so sad that these corporate assholes caused so much damage to this amazing brand we all grew up watching as kids. I hope you guys can get these old scum bags out and make it right, and work on ur relationships. Love all you OG guys, loved watching y’all live together in the New York and LA house❤️❤️❤️
when teeqo talk i listen🗣️🙏🏼
the first genuine video you’ve made in a long time
It sucks being a fan knowing all we can do is sit back and watch our childhood burn.
There has to be more of a clear communication between everyone around the clan. There is a lot of fail of understanding every other member in the clan to not just treat them fair but being respected as person and not just only because of a representation of being in Faze Clan, there needs to be some sort of organization with everyone in faze clan and understanding everyone and treat everyone equally with respect and not downfall or disrespect members in faze clan.
really hyped u made a video about this, I hope y’all can work together as the og group and try to make a way out of this mess where everyone can eat. I know you still care about these guys I just hope everyone can come to some sort of agreement
These videos are so needed. This is what every fan that was watching since the birth of NY house has been wondering. This is so sad to see I hate it but its answering questions we needed to hear.
love seeing your videos on things now cause of how u show things like the actual shares values
Teeqo deserves better Fr
Love how teeqo and rain not being quite
This honestly brings a tear to my eye watching my whole child hood just disappear faze always made everybody’s days better. Now there just there
it sucks really bad that faze probably will never return to how it was back then, but im happy to see you doing well blaziken. you and the rest of the members were a huge part of my childhood and im just thankful for the memories.
All the OG members gotta get together and fix this
Fr
Teeqo and Rain need to be truly loved about the fact they care about this Org for more than what it turned out to be.
Two of them against the world, I’d be all for those two leaving FaZe and starting their own clan
@@H-321 this need to happen
@@Ag-qy4zs it honestly could depending on how this whole thing ends up going and I think their fan bases would be all for that
Been a fan for nearly 12 years, I remember waiting for the 1 Mil montage to come out, I’m 25 now and seeing my childhood heroes go through this sucks
Seeing how Lucas got kicked out of the FaZe house and still has a lot of love for the brand is very admirable. I hope FaZe can come back eventually
admirable?? thats weak as hell. he’s been done the worst out of any of them but doesn’t do anything about it bc he’s scared to be completely kicked out of faze. what’s admirable is seeing rain & teeqo risk their relationship with faze to save the integrity of the brand
@@pharaohmajor let’s be honest, rain would never be kicked from FaZe so it doesn’t really matter what he says not to mention he’s one of the biggest shareholders in the company
Everyone needs to speak out 🗣️🗣️
Lowkey wish the NY house guys took faze on the same route sidemen did. I feel like it would’ve worked out in the longterm, but I guess we’ll never know. I just hope that somehow you guys can figure out a resolution
Most humble and grateful and wholesome video I’ve ever seen
Damn man. My childhood dream turns out to be entirely broken apart. I would have never expected this and it sucks
It was so much simpler when it was just the group of you guys and the rest of the members running FaZe. It shows some people’s best interest can ruin something so great….
I wish you would make more videos like this Blaziken. You shouldn’t be scared to talk about the problems with how Faze is now, and how things need to change!
its so sad to look at the faze channel and seeing the content that exists now. looking down to the house you were in the content felt so organic and it felt like the hustle was there, its gone now. these guys make so much money that itdoesnt matter and content isnt as important. its so nostalgic to look back at that stuff now but also so depressing
Your vlogs back then used to get me through bro, i cant do anything but love you for what you’ve done for my life, as fucking corny as that sounds you were literally my only friend back then
Love you bro 🤜🤛
GOOD ON BLAZE AND RAIN for bringing attention to this video from TEEQO
end of an era imo.. we witnessed such an awesome moment, in entertainment etc..
Used to watch since the NY house. Ever since the move to LA this clan started to change and it was too easy to see, but i never knew it was this bad. This is sad to witness happen mainly because of how much i was into the group as a kid. Things will honestly never be the same for Faze.
Faze is a company not a clan , only cares about money not it’s fans from the old cod days
So basically "signing" to faze is being allowed to legitimately put Faze in your name and gain the clout but the expectation is to grow on your own without any actual monetary support from Faze Clan?
It breaks my heart to see what's become of faze. These guys were my heroes for so long.
This shit was so real and raw. Crazy to see where it’s at now but really appreciate you opening up this way 🙏
echt gutes video blaze, finde es echt schade was ausm faze clan geworden ist. verfolge euch schon seit 6/7 Jahren (vor allem dich und teeqo) und finde es traurig was aus dem clan geworden ist. ab und an wünsche ich mir die alte zeit zurück :/
I don’t care what anyone says. Faze will fall and crumble like Red did could be soon or years down the road. There will be no such thing called faze down the road
Sadly, true. There probably will be a new team developed by the old members at some point, and that will be the downfall. They probably will end up buying the brand back when they bankrupt and sell for pennies. Won't be on NASDAQ anymore though but back to its original roots with no corporate.
Yeah that's true though. Finally some former members are finally exposing what Faze has become. I do want to see it fall apart just so the CEOs can suffer for what they took from the ogs.
i been a fan since 2011 or so, tbh im surprised it’s survived this long, im glad it has and i hope it will stay around
Rain should make his own team fr fr
To the OG fans, faze fell a long time ago when they moved to LA.
its fr so sad to see my childhood falling apart like this
Love you Blaze, happy to see where you've came and doing it independently yo. Mad inspirational and always will support mane
Heart breaking to see . Prayers for faze and the ones struggling.
Seeing all the shit that’s been happening is just so sad and heartbreaking to see
YOU KNOW ITS RIGHT TO BE WITH TEEQO AND RAIN
I miss the NY house era so much. I was a lonely kid whose real friends were all on COD and watching the FaZe house videos at the end of the day gave me my only sense of community.
Love to hear them speaking up 🫶🤌
Shoutout to you blaze and much love to all your success and everything you have going on outside of Faze. I think you missed the mark on this one tho brodie. You can’t just chalk them speaking out to shares in the company. It’s deeper than that. There’s so many kids that look up to you guys and grew up wanting to be in Faze. You were once that same kid admiring the brand. These same kids can end up getting stuck in a similar situation. They are speaking out to create awareness and change the culture of mistreating the talent that put the brand on their backs. You should know more than any of us the countless hours and hours you put into making content and the sacrifices you made along the way. Now think of someone with 12 years in who dedicated their life to the brand and can’t get straight answers or apologies? Most ppl would feel a way. I hope this gets worked out, I know you wanna get the group back together but I think some things have to change before that. Stand with your brothers and support them in bettering the house that you guys all helped build.
really fucked with the fact u dropped actual share numbers I know it’s public but lots of people don’t look at these things and it’s really cool u bringing it to light
? It’s fking public
Thanks for Speaking on this Blaze. Insane How Pryzee only has 2k shares while others have so much more
Y’all could be revolutionary now bruh
Blaze is real w it which I can respect. He acknowledged that it feels like a battle between two sides that he doesn’t want to choose from. He loves the brand and he loves the people who made him who he was. All love to blaze but at the same time he needs to realize he is a key factor in this and cannot stay bias in this type of situation. Stand the fuck up for the guys who brought u in. The bag isn’t worth losing people who will be there for u in the end
Thank you for making this video blaze, everything here is important (letting Teeqo be heard), have a great day!
feel like dropping a tear ngl my childhood heroes
I remember coming home from school and waiting for an Illcam episode to come out like a favorite television series. Staying up all night with the boys trying to hit bills. Everything changed. I guess it’s all apart of life. Enjoy what you have now. One day it will be gone brothers.
I can say that it is sad, Teeqo’s fucked situation. The good thing is, you say you aren’t close with the original members, that can be fixed. To me, that can always be fixed. When you live with people and get to know them, they become really good friends. But, I hope you fix that, and I think, a way to save FaZe, is to go and make it to where it is not a publicly traded company. If you as an organization can make all these deals and drops, you can do that privately without being a tradable company. You have already built the brand, and gained the publicity. So you can make all of that happen without the corporate side, the deals, and the drops. You can still gain even more publicity and be bigger than y’all were before. I hope it all works out, and be safe.
The problem is money, friendship can easily be broken with money and that was the case with the faze guys. It's over they won't ever come back
I remember dreaming of wanting to be in Faze Clan watching all their montages, The Faze House coming together, Faze Bloo Visiting and watching him go off rapping while dropping nukes on COD in the Original Faze House it was such an escape from reality. A bad reality I had in my life and now to see how this organization is, is sad. I don't come to FaZe to escape reality no more, since the reality I would escape to, seems to be a false reality/dream. To see that fame and talent could beat hard work is sad. FaZe whole motto was if you work hard enough you could get in, now it's if you're on a pedastool you're in automatically. SAD!!! And Blaze seeing that you agree with the managers trying to gain profit anyway even if it's scummy that it's okay to you, that it's Grey and not black and white because of that. Like bro what😂. SMH FaZe is downhill. The only way for the next generation to be influenced is by the new wave of CZcamsrs tbh. Danny Duncan on top. 💯
I miss those days of dreaming to be in FaZe, watching illcams, getting hyped for new members and then going on Call of Duty to grind sniper clips or getting into a 6man to trickshot on S&D. There was No stock market, No celebrity members, No CEO’s. I miss those simple days
Lucas you’re still apart of faze and the fans love and appreciate you. This conflicting drama is alot yes but you have a bigger voice than you realize and us fans have had enough too. We want the boys to stand up!
Damn bro you have a great outlook on this whole situation
23 years old. Been watching since mw2. Its so sad to see this is where we ended up. I have been an og fan since. I sad to think i gave up on faze when they went to LA and thats where it all went to the dumpster.
23yo too, i remember when it was about trickshotting it was such a fun time. when we used to try to climb the ranks clan hopping going from one team to the next trying to get a little bigger and bigger with faze as the end goal
it all goes to shit when there are corporate entities involved. with every big organisation you always see some of the original founders being fucked over. happening w faze rn
To this day, it's still crazy to me that they kicked you out as a roomate when they moved. Especially when they did the new house reveal and it seemed like there was PLENTY of room for you to stay. They seemed like a bunch of fake friends/family with that one.
tbh he wasn't really making any video back then
@@goatmeat20 Most of them weren't back at that time. He wasn't the only one.
Bro I’ve been watching y’all for years and I remember waiting for a new vid to drop I MISS OLD FAZE😔
Teeqos right. Faze NEEDS people like you, him, Nordan. Real ones. You wanna get back to “all love and being brothers”? You have to have their backs when they’re trying to give the members what they’re worth.
Damn it’s crazy to see the NY house crumble
this shit killing my inner child bro
You guys were my childhood, we need the OG's back
NY house was Goated/a Happy time. I enjoy remembering you guys like that. Meeting You, Teeqo, and Rain was a life highlight for me when i was younger. Wish yall the best
Its NOT about getting more shares from teeqos & rains POV..... It's about INCLUSION & getting THEIR already earned respect that they got from the fans that they deserve from the company. They have been THE central part of building FAZE.
💯
