Welp here goes the story. Clipz, TimidHouseCat, and I started the team back in 2010. Obviously it just started as a group of friends, and we never really expected to compete with the other large clans at that time like OpTic and M40A3. At that time I think Timid was the only one with a PVR. I might have had a Dazzle but never used it cause the quality was way worse. The early days just consisted of Timid, Clipz, and I with some of our friends going for cool killcams, and then compiling them into a montage. This ended up becoming ILLCAMS. We really only recruited close friends until we started to grow and realized we should probably expand the team a bit. We literally held a sniper only FFA tournament on Terminal to decide who to recruit LOL. Temperrr was always first or second during these matches so Clipz, Timid and I got into a party to discuss recruiting him. At that time, Temperrr would record his clips with a video camera that he used for skateboarding videos. Tbh the quality was pretty clean, right between a dazzle and PVR quality. Anyway we invited Temperrr to the xbox party and asked him to join. Ever since FaZe started to grow at the early stages, I would always try to reach out to the bigger players and teams for advice. One day I got into a lobby with OpTic Vivo. We talked for a bit and actually ended up becoming pretty good friends. After a few months of talking and playing together, Vivo said we should go to MLG Dallas 2010 since a lot of the OpTic team were going to be there, including H3CZ. Since I lived in Dallas, a couple of my real life friends and me got tickets and went to the event. We didn't have anything scheduled and obviously no one knew who we were. We saw a lot of people on the other side of the event with optic jerseys on so we just walked right up to them. I asked H3CZ if we could just take a 10-15 second video introducing ourselves with him for our channel, which he was happy to do. This is when the channel started to really blow up. After meeting H3CZ and talking with him further after the event, he helped us get a contract with Machinima so we could start monetizing our videos. OpTic also put us in their "sub box" which was a huge deal if you remember what that was, and we were getting a ton of subscribers. We also started to play with a lot of the OpTic members which meant we could feature them in our videos bringing in ever more recognition. Some more months went by, I met my girlfriend and started playing COD a bit less, Clipz got the red ring of death and quit, and (I think) Timid ended up leaving the clan to do some real life stuff eventually joining back later on. I made Tommy (Temperrr) co-leader as the leadership dwindled down and I didn't have time to do all the youtube stuff as much. Tommy did a great job at finding new recruits, finding editors, graphic designers, etc. After being co-leader for a while, he ended up kicking out two of my real life friends from the clan for not creating any content, meaning he just removed their names from the roster and their channels from the main channel. I was pretty upset about it, but I think I just ended up respecting the decision since Tommy was helping a lot with the channel. After some more time went by, Tommy ended up doing the following. I don't remember in which order, but this ultimately led to me leaving the team. He removed me from the roster as leader, created a separate "inactive" roster, put me as the only clan member on there, then changed the password to the channel and made himself the only leader. I fully admit after meeting my gf that I slowed down from playing a lot. I wasn't making my own videos, or hitting many killcams, etc. However I was still the founder of the team, and I did a lot of stuff behind the scenes to further the success of FaZe and try to make our members happy. With that being said, I don't hold any animosity towards Tommy or any of the current or previous FaZe members. I never made or asked for a dollar from the organization. The girlfriend I met in high school that took my time away from call of duty is now my wife and we have two kids and a good life together. Even if it burned a few people, Tommy did what was necessary to elevate the team and get FaZe to where it is today. If I remained leader, I'm sure the org would be much smaller but it would be a team full of close friends that just play to have fun. That's all FaZe was ever meant to be. - Resistance

All I heard from his response was "Yes, I stole Faze because i thought I deserved it" what a self entitled snake🤦‍♂️

This has been known for years. Temperr stole FaZe and kicked the founder, CBass later recruited Banks and was kicked by Banks.

Faze is the “DeathRow records” of the gaming community 😂

So if I just change my work email password and take over the system I am now the business owner 🤔 then I just have to say I deserve it when I’m confronted with the facts. Sounds full proof 😂

didnt banks also do nothing for faze for a few years when he had that drug problem?

Man I hope one day I can just work at a company, get in a position of power, and just steal the bank passwords one day and become the owner😊

It's not a good look when you admit that you did do it and you say stuff like "I deserved it"

Dude admits to stealing the bag

how much are these “OGS” actually contributing to faze over these decades tho ??? Most uploaded a few times in like 10+ years…

"He was doing everything" bro youre getting paid and you just joined faze! six months later he thought it was his?! what a joke the New Faze ogs are.

It's interesting because this is not the first time that I've seen this storyline I believe it was covered in a phase New York vlog by rain back in the day as well. Like 2016 some time

Temperrr thinks corporations stole FaZe but he’s the one who stole it in the first place.

Bro was mad he was a co owner who didnt get promoted and decided to change passwords and kick the owners 😂 sounds about right. “ I deserved faze” wow

This whole thing is wild

Tempers justification was weak AF.

Timids house cat should sue banks and steal faze back

its sounds alot like self entitlement which does not put you in a good light.

Kicked ogs and some people who played cod to recruit people like JasonTheWeenie😭🤣😭🤣😭

That knock out still effecting him😂

Temperr saying he felt disrespected after what they just did to folks is wild lmfao

He said what's wrong with me hacking 😂😂 jokes

Why u void his contract

As a investor in FaZe, ill be sending a note to Game Square.

He should've just started his own thing. The way he did it was wrong. No other way to see it.

Bro there’s a serious lawsuit here

I do all the work at my job to, but I’m not gonna steal a business and pretend like I own it

Self entitlement at its finest 🤷🏿‍♂️

Sounds a lot like the tv show about the mcdonalds founders.

I kind of understand temperr with this. Years ago in a FPS called Americas Army, I was in a clan and quickly rose to one of the top leaders in the clan. The original owners slowly drifted away and then after months of no comms from them, I am running the show, I took their website and youtube channel over, I changed all of the passwords, because they just disappeared. I took over payments for the website, ran everything. Scrims, ACI and AON anti cheat scripts kept up on the servers, i spent more hours than I should have at 15 years old. All of it was for fun, so money was not involved. It wasn't that serious. Thats exactly how those kids who created faze felt back in the day.

What a joke, no wonder they ran it into the fcking ground lol

Sounds like a lawsuit😅

In some way they should have included the 3 original founders and made them co-founders just so that if anything were happen the 3 could be there to help.

It was messed up for Temperrr to change the FaZe password without permission and steal the channel, but at the same time all the other leaders were barely doing anything for FaZe. Pretty sure ClipZ got the RROD and Resistance stopped playing. I think House Cat/Timid left but then joined back at a later date for a little bit i think. Temperrr was like the only person working on FaZe back then. If instead he decided to leave FaZe, then FaZe would not be here today imo. I dont hate any of the 3 OG leaders but i feel like a lot of the time they just really regret not staying with FaZe at the time. Also dont know why this story is blowing up again. Anyone who's been watching FaZe for 10+ years knows Temperrr stole the channel

How has he not sued? Even if he signed someone saying he wouldn’t sue he can still sue. They’re admitted it was stolen many times

New vlogger

Bro wanted to throw a Mr Beast video in there 😂

He right man, I do everything at my job too, tomorrow i take ownership !

How can you take a company from someone then call yourself the founder

Once those contracts comes in ; yk it’s sketchy

Am I wrong in thinking he could have created his own clan? Or just branch off with his own org? Or maybe sit them down and have that discussion with the leaders?

Man I feel sorry for the faze brand its like nobody did anything to make it grow ever since the corporate suits got involved and banks was the first person who sold out

If I was a co leader at the time that’s your part to help out who knew this would happen

A founder should always be apart of the thing they started

Goodness me....this is bad.

This is what happens when egos collide. This Temper shit is common in any work field. Employees often feel like they do all the work and get none of the benefits. This isn't an online faze content creation thing, this is just life. You wither deal with it and don't bitch and wait your time and climb the ranks, or you move on and do it on your own.

Just wait until the children find out there were orgs and clans before FaZe and Optic... 🙄

Tbh the founders and c bass took the safe route and went to college and didn’t show their face. The ones that actually took the risk got the results

The thing about founders, is just because you were there when it started, doesn't mean you necessarily helped to improve or grow the brand.

Og fans remember this story before it went public smh temperrr kinda grimy for that password shit but maybe it wouldn’t have become what it was if he never did that 🤔

Turns out, he went and changed faze clips password on his current account because he felt disrespected 😂 what a snake

Even if u were doing a lot for the team that doesn't makes it right to take someone else's brand that's not cool

Although Temperrr played a giant role in FaZe’s success, I still feel like it would only be right for ClipZ, Resistance, and Timid House Cat to always have a hand in the team they started regardless of what changes the team goes through over the years. Even if they willingly stepped down from leading the team, their positions as founders and having. Some degree of a say in what direction the team takes should be concrete no matter what.

To be fair they were teenagers at the time and KZfaq was not taken seriously. If this happened today it would be a crime but back then it was the equivalent of hacking someone’s RuneScape…

I feel Temper. I do so much for the place I work at, I’m gonna move my stuff into the managers office and take that shit over because I deserve it.

DUDES A MILLIONARE AND AN OWNER TALKIN ABOUT HE DIDNT GET HIS FLOWERS HAH

Ya know you’d think once you get the company name back you would just shut up and work for atleast a year or more to assess where your at and actually work on the brand again 😂 and they wonder why nobody wants anything to do with the faze scam

Been known for years

I heard the clan logo was stolen

Young mistakes getting exposed

Bruh this is old af news... 😂😂😂

W video, W sweatshirt.

I have nothing against Temperr, although that was a slimy thing to do (would've been better to talk it out and say I'm taking charge and such,) karma will bite them in the arse, ooh wait it did lol. Mind you I knew most of this before it came up, cause most this was explained around the time of the new York house was going on. Either than the whole password change and such.

Without Temperrr, FaZe would never have grown and probably would of died with clans like M40A3.

so temperr stole it... doesnt Resistance and clipz still technically own it unless paid for ownership rights?

Nobody knows how successful Faze clan would have been, had it not have been stolen, and that DOES NOT MATTER ONE IOTA! The only thing that matters, is that Temperr stole faze, and he outright admitted it. I hope the original Faze founders take Temperr for everything that he's worth! What a POS! Imagine trying to justify stealing because YOU EARNED IT 🙄I mean, poor guy, he worked so hard for 6 whole months.... what oh what is a guy to do. 🙄

It amazing how faze was not relevant now all of the sudden they are important lol drama

Just because your doing a bunch of work doesn't mean you just take shit and claim it's yours

Sounds like someone should get some legal advice!

They got too big and sold out to a corporate board it seems

Temperr would be a justified snake if Housecat and Resistance weren't already considered irrelevant by the time the drama happened. Anyone that was watching FaZe at the time knows NONE of the recruits mentioned anything about talking with anyone outside of Temperr

Bro I dont even follow this crap, but... from a fresh perspective. From the information I gathered here. I think Temper got super lucky to Join a Clan that already had a head start by having the Ogs making some pretty important moves, then they fell off and Temper was carrying the clan at that point doing the bulk of the work. Yeah, it sucks that it was technically stolen, but damn thats a tough one. I mean honestly. Those are tough decisions. Should you try and make it work with people who arent tryna to work hard to do something with the clan anymore? even though they got it up and runnin? or.. should you just bite the bullet and cut them off? even though it feels wrong, but.. you know this is for the best cuz you need some damn help following through the vision? I mean damn, decisions.

How do you just steal a trademark it’s illegal so if you own something you own the trademark which is the Faze logo so how did he just steal it once you make something you own the rights to the logo I hope people understand this because it sounds to me the 3 people that started Faze never actually owned the logo

I respect the video dude didn’t play victim just said his peace But a big fail having to hear mr beast though get that kid outta here ❤

No honor among thieves huh lmao

Regardless of what and where FaZe is going I think Clipz deserves his spot, he founded FaZe. They legally shouldn't be able to just rip of a contract without both parties agreeing. Anything else is just wrong. They had that contract for a reason.

I miss this mrbeast

I'm in my 30s and grew up with Faze, I have never heard of this dude lol

Lol so in his own words "yes i stole it, but i deserved to steal it"..

It's been known for awhile that this happened and I understand all the hate for Temperrr, but FaZe wouldnt be anything today without Temperrr pushing it to the next level.

ClipZ didn’t do shit for FaZe but make it and CBass helped ruined FaZe.

Sellouts regretting they sold out. Too funny.

still sounds wrong lol

TBH 10 years ago. Who cares they were kids get over it. Big ups Temperr

This has to be a fucking joke, he behaved like a child, why couldn't they just be adults and talk this out

If he felt that way, he should’ve at least changed the name. Even if it meant losing some fame. Better to deal with it then than now.

He went from saying I don’t who the fuck clipz is, to giving a whole overview of trying to find him lol he stole it because he felt like he was doing more work than everyone but had no right to do that lol. You think the ceo of the company is working harder than the employees NO! Douche move

this is so stupid the original Founders that made rockstar definitely made one of the best video games for that time for sure but I'm not about to sit up here and think that these guys can make Rockstar what it is today

Just sue him and get the company back or compensation 😊

I guess since I'm the manager at my company I should change the locks and tell everyone I'm the new owner dude is a bozo

These “streamers” need to shut up They are smart They ain’t slick That man can get sued and loose all of it Why he admitted to taking and stealing information that was alleged is beyond me… you saw what happened to the Friday the 13th brand ? It’ll happen to faze if any of those OG members grow a pair and sue sue epically with a accused admitting to the dead

Like what is he even talking about like a run on sentence

Tommy was the one who pulled it off and made what faze was. The others moved on in life the ogs have all said they have love for Tommy. So why tf are people so pressed

Dang he definitely stole it lol whatttttttt

Faze is whack, turned into a drama org and are still a drama org. OGs liked the gaming content. Faze jumped the shark a long time ago as an org and just bought some good esports teams to hide the fact the so called OGs have lost it

without temper doing what he did FaZe Clan wouldnt even be a thing.

FaZe = 🐍

no one knows who this is bruh

Nah u stole it and they should take legal actions

These dudes stopped contributing in the 100-200k range? Anyone from the trickshot/sniping community from that time period knows that Temperrr is FaZe. Stupid ass kids in the comments? Maybe even before then? I don’t even remember there names on the roster when KZfaq channel comments where on the main channel page.
