wait actually?

Take over and delist. Clean house. Rebrand and get a new evaluation. sell again because he owns less than half and if they survive they'll age out of relevancy or that same thing will happen again.

@@athomesuperhero i am making a prediction. please return to this comment in the event that faze banks inevitably sells out again

​@Nate612 I agree with your prediction

@@Nate612 Alright, I'll talk to ya'll in a week or 2.

He’s doing the exact opposite by cutting old members that r now dead weight.

@@mikeystapleton he literally only cut people he claimed were recruited under the darkest era where the company had control and not him. And is trying to force things back to how they were. THOSE WERE HIS WORDS. NOT MINE. Why do you dudes do that? You take an issue with something I say or someone else says because you are a fan of something, then you misrepresent the LITERAL message Faze Banks sent. Seriously, make that make sense for me. He is trying to reduce it back largely to the OG's and start a new or restart the old content house. Which is LITERALLY what HE SAID. Which is what I am criticizing. The straw man arguments are so weak.

@@nerdjournal he said that but also cut people that joined before they sold the org, kitty, adapt, blaze, cbass, probably more but cant remember them, all of them are from before, blaze was in the ny house and is the one in the clip shown by ludwig for the bo3 gift thing. he cut more than the people recruited under "the darkest era"

@@mikeystapleton Imagine thinking faze is relevant LMAO

People thinking this will revive Faze are not very smart

You mean MogulMail

UH UH UHUH OHHHHHH

whos lud? this is mogul mail

@DontReadMyProfilePicture102your so bad at cropping stuff 🤦

Did u know that almost half of the accounts that try to start an argument or grab attention on the internet are actual bots

Cycles my friend

Nah, if anything they're dying. I dont think releasing some of your best talent is gonna work out

The most important question is, did you do the dance?

Bro, wake up. It's 2012.

It isnt tho, most of the OGs are gone, rain, blaze, teeqo, ..

Honestly wish people would follow jevs example bro is so stable and consistent

He 100% would've left if his anxiety didn't stop him

@@leaveacommentSo true, even if he did get kicked nothing would change in terms of his content. At least at that point he wouldn’t be associated with Faze clan and all of their past fuck ups. The Faze clan he joined back in the day is gone.

Jev has nothing to do with faze nowadays what the point

yed

I don't think you missed much, and your bewilderment is exactly why this didn't work

you and me both. the only reason why i knew of faze is cuz this mogul guy talked about him now and again and they had a gfuel flavor at one point. dunno if thats still around.

its not just you. they had no idea either. thats why they failed hardddd

It used to be just a group of gamers, that was when it was at its peak. Corporate people came in, took power, turned it into a public company, got Snoop Dogg into the board of directors and fucked everything up basically.

I mean you were 4 when they were at the new york house so it cant be really helped that you didnt grow up with them. Their age demographic were mostly teens who played cod at the time.

That's exactly what kind of person he is. Really... Banks is the worst in FaZe, and I greatly dislike a good few of them... but yeah he takes the cake, and eats it too, then blames somebody else for eating it. That's him.

They will power the virtual spaces we are inevitably doomed to inhabit

Nah​@@henryturner4281

@@henryturner4281 you mean waste power

@@henryturner4281 If we inhabit these virtual spaces, how will we manage the infrastructures around it? Is it a matrix-esque? If so, do we have technology to maintain automated machines that manages and maintains our virtual space?

He's not wrong, but for the wrong reasons. conventional NFT's (bored apes and collectible images) are absolutely not the future. Other things like admission passes to places for employees/guests or virtual ID's actually have potential to become commonly used in the future.

I honestly can't understand it at all but maybe Banks sees something that we don't

@@maulik95 Banks like his name suggest is about the money if there is even a chance someone can get him a little more he'll sign them

@@MyNamesHunter75 he's proven this time plenty of times too, this is not going to do much for faze I bet

The while firing people who were not "friends" seems to me as a way for banks to have more control over everyone and keep people he feels he has more control over. To me it seems like it's going to be more of a team 10 situation then an actual group of friends making content situation.

I can tell you by following all 4 of those creators for a while that they have had connections to FaZe and all of them are really good friends with members that weren’t cut and these 4 in specific have been growing on twitch rapidly so I definitely see why they would add them to the roster but I don’t see the reason for cutting their bigger streamers for sure

Hard to take them seriously when they have NFT twitter profile pics in these 2024 exchanges 😅

Except, not accept. Very different words.

@@--_DJ_-- Damn, you should teach english and get paid instead of wasting your time on the internet.

@@THYCR3AT0R You're right he should teach English. Unfortunately you appear to have no redeeming qualities so I guess you can keep wasting your time on the internet not getting paid.

they're the esports org equivelant of a big youtuber from 2014 who's been through a dozen controversies and are still trying to make a living on youtube to an ever dwindling audience

people that are 30+ and want to relive their youth. (a surprisingly large amount of people!)

Nostalgia is a dangerous way to construct a project

​@T0DD its not exactly nostalgic, faze now is very different from faze then. Its like watching velma for scooby doo nostalgia

Its possible to achieve it, but with the issues they had in the past its going to be hard

​@AFed69 and we all know that Velma was the biggest hit of the 21st century so this can't fail

The multiverses are colliding

Real

And if jasontheween and plaqueboymaxx actually get signed he just lied through his teeth, but to be expected from a crypto pfp

Or Jev lmao. He basically has no association with them other then his KZfaq channel name yet he has by far the most loyal fans

@@britishl0yalist810 jevs attitude of "I only want to play games for a living i don't want to do anything else" makes me seriously question how useful he's gonna be to faze.

@@synthiandrakon He's their only good PR

@@junyaiwaseJason is friends with kaysan and Ron plus he’s been connect with faze for about a year

And max is terrible at COD 😂😂😂

??? they all play games

they all play video games but alright

Literally every single one of them play’s games

@DontReadMyProfilePicture102 cringe just quit

Bro words don't mean anything anymore. "Wild" really? It looks better than his hair 90% of the time.

@@Versace_sheets I never said it looked bad?

@@haileyzilch5959 How is it "wild" tho ?

@@Beaurisque because it is? It’s wild it’s a Justin Bieber haircut? I don’t understand what y’all aren’t understanding?

Fr lmfao 😂😂

and they kept their smash player, apparently

You even watch the video? Banks wants people who actually play and run the faze name up together. Nick mercs does callabs with zooma, scump, swag and others actually supporting faze. The scump thing was like an optic and faze thing but all these guys go out of their way to put on tournaments together. Notice the names I just said stated in faze besides scump. You haters are cringe

​@@shmeeplopshmeeplop2730they kept all of their esports players/teams

@@flocabularris3609so banks does that yeah?? shut up he’s a balding smurf

they’ll never be what they were back then, they’ve burned so many bridges with companies and internet personalities, it’s all gone

Exactly where I'm at. I guess they can cater to ipad babies who are now a little older but that's really just a big L for society

Agreed

Silky and max are insanely close friends with Yourrage. The question is does yourrage even really count as a faze member.

@@Yrgzip0I didn’t even know he was associated with faze members let alone a member himself

Faze has been a boys club unfortunately just look at how Rain treated that girl last year. If banks meant what he said when filing that good female cod faze member amd keeping Jev on the team. I love jev BECAUSE of his separation from faze. He's the only genuine seeming member but he admitted himself to doing 0 work for faze not even a photo shoot in years.. faze wants the gamer gate anti women nostalgia it seems

I understand but apparently nobody was given any heads up to being dropped they all found out the same way it seems

33yo NL Balatro enjoyer checking in

There comes a time in every young man’s life… where they turn to the Lion.

We're Balatro guys, of course we were relieved to find out we're not the only ones addicted to NL lately.

lmao nah same

For real tho

People do know. They just don't care as much about typos as you or I. I learned to stop pointing it out, people don't like it.

It's just like any other homophone. People typically don't care because the sentence is still intelligible by most people.

Honestly most people are not as up to speed on on grammar as you think, and it’s typically not that huge of a deal, unless your a student perhaps, but he’s just a grown ass man

Welcome to the internet where language has been dying and becoming increasingly hard to understand with slang terms for the last 6 years

lol General comment: I've been on the internet since 1998 and am a 40 YO with a minor in English lit. I know how people make grammar mistakes, but I hadn't seen this one anywhere near as prominently until VERY recently, hence calling it out specifically. I don't even mention different versions of there/their/they're any longer. This isn't like other homophones because the words are antonyms.

Don't let 2024 Ian see this, he wants to leave the bowl cut behind lol

@@gokulnair The imagery of it is too iconic; to his great dismay, the bowlcut is everlasting.

dont call me out like that

Same, final tomorrow o7

Good luck to you and everyone else else taking their finals! Go study, eat a fruit or something healthy, and get some rest!

Yeah, Ludwig right? Only difference is Ludwig styles his hair and isn't alt right😅

FR. I know nothing about this guy, but his response to dropping Kalei like that is barely an apology and mostly excuses that could have been fixed with some effort on his side. such a dick move

From my understanding, most of the current and former dudes at FaZe clan are idiot edgelords. You just need to look back a Nickmercs being a transphobic dipshit last year to see a good example of that.

I dont think the problem is him saying "retard", its the way he presents himself, being a massive douchebag, and literally saying he doesnt care about anyones opinion. Its about the narcissism and how much of a fool he's made himself out to be.

Womp womp

he's played COD for like 15 years, not surprising he still says shit like that publicly

guess that music career wasn't the wisest move.

@@DaphneElis lmao

Now imagine being in the middle of a nba game and that shit happening to you 😭😂

I saw a screenshot of Agony posting a comment on Twitch saying that if you don’t have crypto, you were cut off. And given the direction Banks wants Faze to go into, I wouldn’t be surprised if crypto played a part in letting some members go.

Mogul & OTK media presentation definitely had a passing influence on how they announced PlaqueBoyMax too

It's so disrespectful to someone who clearly put a lot on the line for them career-wise

Adding onto this: Cutting gaming creators when you were starting as a gaming group to then sign on Just Chatting creators feels odd. I hope they do well obviously but it does feel like Banks is more concerned with trying to keep control rather than keep the actual brand sustaining. I don't watch Faze content but seeing it over the years just gives me the gut feeling that it'll crumble.

@@Ari180_RE The faze brand is gone but you do got to admit just chatting streamers are a lot more scalable than cod creators cod is not as big as it was and there literally no limit to growth when it comes to just chatting

Its giving shane dawson

It did for sure

That's my guy

For a second but my guy Jev is just too in his own bubble and it helps so much
