- ♪ Jahlil beats, holla ♪
- [Temperrr] What's going on, everybody!
My name is FaZe Temperrr
and I'm one of the newest members of FaZe.
(upbeat music)
- [Apex] What's up guys, FaZe Apex here.
- [Pamaj] What's up guys, this is Pamaj.
- [Apex] So I'm excited to make this video
to introduce myself.
- [Banks] Yo guys, this is Banks,
I joined Faze which is fucking sweet.
- We're about to launch our second annual
FaZe5 annual recruitment challenge.
- [Banks] There's so much
more that they wanna do,
there's so much more
that they wanna expand on
and improve on.
- Welcome to the FaZe house.
So I'm here with Richard
Banks, my new roommate.
- [Banks] FaZe is fucking huge.
- What?
- What is going on guys, FaZe Rug here.
- What is going on guys,
FaZe Blaziken here.
- [Commentator] FaZe again
are gonna take the US--
- [Rug] Do you wanna get better--
- [Commentator] Grand final.
- [Rug] And you play
with your friends a lot?
(laughs)
Like start up the client,
you're gonna be getting a lot better
if you play with them all the time.
- [Narrator] Double kill (indistinct)
(crowd screaming)
- [Rug] And that's what I plan on doing.
(upbeat music)
- [Rain] I don't know,
it's pretty big for me,
I'm glad that we have a team,
everything is gonna work
out, I promise you guys.
(upbeat music)
(typewriter clicking)
- FaZe was founded May 30th 2010,
the first Illcams was already out
within the first week of June.
- ♪ Ill, Ill ♪
- Back in the day there was
a lot of little small teams
that did sniping and stuff,
but FaZe kinda took it to the next level
by really trickshotting
and making that the core of what FaZe did.
- Trickshotting was just a
thing that had just begun.
I remember the first
time I saw the first 360,
my mind was blown, my whole
world was just flipped
upside out, I was like,
there's no way you can
play the game like this,
this is just on a different level,
this is something that I
have never seen before.
(shots)
This is sick, like we need
to be doing this, this is us.
That was what Illcams was.
Like every week when you'd woke up
for Saturday morning cartoons,
people would feel the
same way about Illcams.
And so they would be on Twitter waiting
for the tweet to go up
that the video went live,
or just waiting for the
next Illcam to drop.
By 2012 we hit a 1,000,000 subscribers.
That was one of my biggest
milestones in my life.
It was a monumental thing for us.
- Around 2013, 2014, when Black
Ops 2 was really popping',
we started taking a different
direction with our content,
showing our faces, which
we never did, really,
most of us didn't show what
we looked like for the first
three, four, five years of doing this, so.
Thank you guys for watching,
subscribe to my channel new
and help me reach a 1,000,000.
- We couldn't rely on Call of Duty
to come out with a great
new game every single year,
we had to do something else
and step out of comfort zone,
so we started integrating
vlogs and personality,
showing our faces more.
- Which sounds like it's nothing big,
but at the time it was a huge step for us.
Nobody in our scene really vlogged,
and it wasn't really well received.
Our fans did not wanna see
anything but Call of Duty videos,
but we pushed through
to make more content,
we started making skits,
vlogs, real life challenges,
and then slowly over time
FaZe Clan started to evolve.
- And when we moved into a
house in the end of 2014,
so we were the first YouTubers that,
from all different walks of life,
came into a house together in Long Island,
one kid from Canada, one kid from Sweden,
one kid from Boston, one kid from Brazil,
one kid from California,
kids that you'd never see
together, physically together,
living in a house, waking up everyday
and making YouTube videos.
(typewriter clicking)
- We're back in the FaZe house.
So I'm here with Richard
Banks, my new roommate.
- Yes.
- So I just got here now,
there's Tommy, Teeqo
and Apex all chilling.
We haven't really done
anything at the house yet.
I'm just vlogging now.
- [Banks] We literally
just got back from--
- Who's.
New York house was amazing,
it was just such a rare time.
We were the first YouTubers
to move into a house together.
- That was definitely one of
the best times of my life.
Those were times in my
life that I did not realize
how special they were while were in them.
- It is recording now?
- ♪ So please don't be scared of me. ♪
- No, picture.
- Oh picture, okay.
- I can see the timer.
(laughs)
- Most of my favorite memories are
from the New York FaZe house.
Just because it was so
pure, we were so young,
everything was just going
the way we wanted to,
we didn't really plan too
much, we had no game plan,
we were just being
creative every single day,
doing stuff together.
- It was a little bit different back then,
it was just a small group of us,
and every single day we did something new.
- You know, you got all these people
from different walks of life,
different parts of the world,
moving to a house together
just to make YouTube videos
every single day.
That was special.
- It was just so much fun, it
was what we always dreamed of.
Bringing in an audience
that cared so much about us,
you can't make that, it's
nothing that you can replicate,
you know what I'm saying?
It was so natural, so organic,
it was just too much fun
waking up everyday in that
house with six roommates,
we were all making videos everyday,
we were all just motivating each other
and helping each other and bonding,
and becoming very close
friends, it was amazing.
- When I first moved to the New York house
I wasn't gonna move,
I was just gonna visit
and just fly in once a month
and stay for like a week.
But then I went there and I
was like (beep), was I wrong.
I was like, this is way
too much fun (laughs).
I was like, how the (beep) am
I not gonna live here, what?
- What's crazy about
the FaZe house is that
you can just walk into any room
and there's somebody sitting right there
that you can make a video with,
like right on the spot, right there.
- It's awesome, I love
it, I love the atmosphere.
Don't bite me.
I remember I was like yo, I'm
dumb if I doubt for one second
I wasn't gonna move into the open room.
It wasn't even a room.
The room that I lived in in New York,
it was built the day I moved in.
they just put up two dry walls,
there wasn't even an AC in there
- On the first time
that I went to the house
I walked up the steps and
I had seen it in videos,
I knocked on the door and nobody answered,
I rang the doorbell a couple
of times and nobody answered,
and I was like, it was so
weird because for a second
I was like wait, is this really happening?
Like, am I really supposed to be here?
And then Banks ended up opening the door,
and he walked me in,
and that was the first
time that I met him,
and it was cool, and then
everybody just came out
and we just had cereal,
it was a good time.
It's a very good memory, very good memory.
I actually moved into
the FaZe house yesterday.
- As a janitor.
- Woo!
- As a janitor, apparently.
No, but I actually moved
into the FaZe house.
- He did, he's our roommate now, Pucas.
- Dude, what are you
doing back there, Apex?
- Just keep going, dude.
(laughs)
- We just were making such
funny videos all together,
we did these Guess That
YouTuber challenge,
where if you guessed it wrong,
everyone pours something on your head.
It was just something
really really fun to do
every single day in that house.
- Scaring FaZe Adapt.
- What the fuck?
- I'm so happy I was a part of that.
Everyone knows what that video is,
I'm so happy I was a
part of that with Nordan.
All the pranks at the house.
(laughs)
- [Temperrr] We got him good.
- Even if it wasn't just going out
and doing something for content,
we were in the house zapping flies
with this fly swatter,
throwing knives at our wall,
which was a really bad idea,
our landlord got pissed.
And we'd go to the park
that was right by the house
play basketball, go get
bagels in New York and stuff,
we'd do that every day and stuff.
I definitely miss that house, for sure.
(Upbeat music)
(typewriter clicking)
- Esports, we started off as
just YouTubers on Call of Duty,
and you know naturally Call of
Duty scene started expanding,
and esports and Call of Duty
started becoming a real thing.
We'd go to the events, we'd
have a great time with them,
we became family with them instantly too.
- What's going on guys,
my name is FaZe Temperrr
and I'm here with FaZe Banks,
we're here at MLG Anaheim
2014, we just got here.
- Well we're actually watching FaZe Red
play Curse Black right
now, it's a crazy week
and we're looking forward
to the rest of the day.
- That was the first time
I met pretty much everyone
in person.
And it was almost every
single FaZe member went, like
Kay from England flew in
from for the first time.
- It was the first trip
all of us got together,
like we were only online
friends at this point,
I think only Banks and
Tommy had met each other
in real life, so to come together
and meet everybody in FaZe
and actually see what they're
like was actually kinda nice.
- That was my first ever gaming event,
and I think that was the first time
FaZe Clan ever came together as a team,
met up and we rented an Airbnb in Anaheim.
- There was I think about 20 of us,
staying in this bungalow,
we had bungalow in Anaheim
that had two bedrooms
and 20 FaZe members, so it was hectic.
- We all clicked together
as a team, as a family,
and it was honestly one of
the craziest experiences ever,
we even went to Six Flags together.
We did so much as a team
for the first time meeting,
we automatically knew that we were family.
- The CS:GO Major in Boston,
it was the biggest event
it was literally the biggest
tournament of the year.
- [Announcer] The juggernauts of the game,
put your hands together for FaZe Clan!
(upbeat music)
- We had just gotten our
team, and we started traveling
and going to competitions with them.
That was very official for us,
to go into the CS:GO scene.
- And then after that, it
was just a snowball effect.
Rainbow6, PUBG, Fifa and then
recently Fortnite, obviously.
We loved played the games,
so we've always loved to
see our guys competing.
It's the best feeling on the planet
when our teams win
events, so it was natural
and we're blessed to be
in the position we are
to have teams competing in so many games.
(typewriter clicking)
- We went from just gaming
to gaming and entertainment,
and now it's like a
lifestyle brand, you know,
clothing has been a big thing,
since 2011 we've been
releasing clothing, basically.
So a lot of this would
not have been possible
without the sponsors that we've had,
and it's really cool to have,
as much as we've grew
up buying their products
and never thinking we'd be
able to collab with them.
We started doing collabs
with people like Champion--
- Kappa, Lyrical Lemonade, CLOT.
My personal favorite would probably be
the Lyrical Lemonade collaboration.
Those guys are all really good friends,
so to come together two
internet conglomerates, I guess,
I heard Taav say those
words, whatever that means.
"Two internet conglomerates",
we're just two groups of people,
and we did a sick ass collaboration.
- One project that I'm extremely proud of
that I worked on with FaZe is definitely
the NFL collab.
This was more recent, but
the fact that FaZe Clan
has turned into this crazy cultural brand
that we're collabing with the NFL,
the legit NFL.
- This is the coolest thing
that we've done for me for sure.
You know what I mean, FaZe the (beep) up,
Pats nation for life, love you guys.
(clicks tongue)
(upbeat music)
- Steelseries is another one,
we'd all buy Steelseries products, look.
(suspenseful music)
We all had Steelseries
keyboards and mice already.
In the New York house that was
what we played Counter
Strike with everyday.
So couple of years later,
to be able to have our own
FaZe mouse pad with them,
and to be able to work with
them this close is awesome.
- Now I've heard your cry of
distress, and I'm here to help.
It looks like you could use a
super cool FaZe Clan branded
Steelseries mousepad.
(whistle)
(wings flapping)
- Some of my favorite
projects are definitely
the Steelseries commercial,
definitely (indistinct), right?
I love just being goofy on camera, acting,
doing funny stuff, you know,
I don't care to act like a clown,
I'm always a clown, you
know, I'll do whatever.
Fortnite World Cup is just days away,
and for me to win I need
to be in top physical form.
(zipper)
(upbeat music)
(air whoosing)
- There's people life G-Fuel,
who sponsored that first
gaming house in New York
that really helped us take
off, you know what I'm saying?
HTC, I mean come on, HTC.
- This is virtual reality.
- Nissan, are you joking?
Who has not had Nissan before?
Nissan is one of the
most common cars you see.
For us to have our jersey
with a Nissan patch on it
has just been mind blowing.
(upbeat music)
(chill music)
- Another memory I have
is the Fortnite World Cup.
- Definitely the World Cup in New York.
- New York definitely.
- Fortnite World Cup.
- Obviously the World Cup,
right, the Fortnite World Cup
when I won the Creative
World Cup with my team.
(upbeat music)
- The energy here and just
how it's been going so far
is just so amazing,
I just know someone in
FaZe is about to win.
- Your winners and Creative
World Champions, the Fish Fam!
- It was really cool because
I was making these death runs
and I had this team of death runners,
people who would practice
on my maps, play on my maps.
They were really nervous naturally,
playing in front of millions of people,
but I tried my best to keep them calm
and just make it fun, right?
I had more fun playing in
it than I did winning it,
I wanna say, because I wasn't
the one that clutched up,
there was one guy, Zen,
who actually clutched up
and made the 1,000,000 dollar jump, right,
he made the final jump to secure the win,
and that was the most surreal experience,
we started going crazy
the second he won it.
- I need everyone on this
bus to (beep) congratulate
these guys, Cizzorz (background
noise drowns out speaker).
- [All] (screams)
(upbeat music)
- FaZe up!
(upbeat music)
- Last year the New York World Cup,
it's just crazy to see how
far we've come, you know,
because I've been a part
of it from the beginning,
that damn near, from when
everyone started to really be like
"all right, maybe we have something here".
For us to be back in New York last year
and have thousands and thousands
of kids flood the streets
of New York City just to come meet us,
that's just crazy.
(crowd screaming)
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby!
Yeah, yeah!
- I think that was really the first moment
when kinda the new era of FaZe
Clan really felt powerful.
We took over New York
City and it really showed
that any town is our town.
(upbeat music)
- The best part about it
was our fan meet up we did.
Craziest day of my life
was that fan meet up,
thousands and thousands of fans showed up
on this little street in New York.
It was the most adrenaline I've ever had
pumping through my body.
That is the day that
I wish I could relive.
- [Apex] Oh my gosh!
What the (beep)!
Where the (beep) are we at?
- Bro I've never in my life seen
that many FaZe fans in one spot.
- What, what is going on?
- What is happening right now?
- Where are we at?
- That was insane.
- In the middle of World Cup we actually
recruited FaZe Ewok, and that
was like really cool to see
because I was not expecting that at all,
and it was just like cool,
just having her in FaZe,
first girl, you know.
(upbeat music)
- I am so very excited to be in FaZe!
All the people, all the team,
everybody's really wonderful here.
So I can FaZe?
- [All] FaZe up!
- We recruited FaZe
Ewok, our first female.
Everybody as far as the members
and even the people behind
the scenes and management
everybody was there and we were all
just having a great time.
- That was the first time
in a really really long time
that everybody in FaZe was together.
Especially the core
group who have hung out
since it started.
It was awesome for everyone
that meeted there together,
just supporting everybody in FaZe.
- It felt like a reunion,
it didn't feel like there were
that many people in FaZe Clan
but then we all sat down at
dinner and saw everything
we've been working on,
everybody be a part of it,
everybody be there together.
It was actually the
most surreal experience,
winning the World Cup and then celebrating
and having fun with everybody
that I've grown to know
over the internet was
the best time of my life.
(typewriter clicking)
(inspirational music)
- I guess I'd say the
project that I was most
proud of being a part
of FaZe was our pop up.
(upbeat music)
- The first time I ever
shopped on this street
was actually with Adapt,
Nikan and some FaZe boys.
We came up and down Fairfax and Melrose
and I said yo, we're gonna
have a store on this street.
Three years ago.
(upbeat music)
- We had a pop up for two months
and we absolutely balled out.
We had events there,
famous rappers pulled up,
it was even a party man.
(crowd chanting)
- This is crazy!
We met so many fans,
the energy of the fans in this
building is off the roof bro.
This is crazy, you guys are amazing.
- It is nuts, bro, they bring the heat.
- There was so many fans coming out,
we had like fans coming
all the way like around
the entire building, it was so awesome.
- H1ghSky1.
- What's up?
- How are you feeling, man?
- That was crazy.
We gave out a bunch of merch,
met so many new people,
it was amazing, I just loved it.
- So you guys are all
the way from Kentucky,
what are you guys doing out here today?
- I came to meet Cizzorz,
he's my favorite.
- Yeah.
- That's insane, they flew out,
that's real love right there, that's nuts.
- It was amazing the turn up from fans
over the two months that we had it,
and our team put in such
an incredible effort
to put together such a beautiful creation.
I don't know, I love creating stuff,
I love bringing fans
together, engaging people,
and that was just an amazing
thing to be a part of.
- How do you feel bro?
- I don't know, I'm just
a little shaky still.
- Literally, bro when we walked out--
- I've just been screaming
let's go all day,
let's go, FaZe up, let's go.
- My whole Instagram story,
I'm pretty sure I said let's go
in every single one of them.
(chill music)
- The things we're doing, the
brands we're working with,
the brand that we're building is so large,
it's hard to wrap my head around it.
- FaZe Clan has already done
a bunch of amazing stuff
from clothing brands to
teaming up with soccer teams,
and just basically just
branching out from esports
and gaming in general.
- I think gaming has transformed
in the past two years,
and being at the top of
gaming is huge for us,
because we can just expand
into everything we want.
- Every single year
there's so much happening,
there's just so much more
happening year after year,
that's just how it is.
- With the momentum we have right now,
I seriously think nothing can stop FaZe
and nothing will stop FaZe,
so it's for sure going to
take over the freaking world.
(chill music)
- Where do I see FaZe in 10 years?
- Now where do I see FaZe in 10 years,
that's like the hardest
question you could ask me.
- Where do I see FaZe in 10
years, holy (indistinct).
- Oh, 10 years?
- Well hopefully with
me still in it (laughs).
- In 10 years I see FaZe Clan literally
taking over the world.
We already are, right,
we literally already are.
- I see FaZe Clan as being this
crazy dominant organization
as if we're not already on the top.
I always tell myself like "oh
we're never gonna top this",
like we're never gonna
top Offset joining FaZe,
we're never gonna top
collabing with the NFL,
but every single month FaZe
never fails to impress me.
- Dude, every single day
I feel like I wake up
and there's something new.
Anything is possible literally,
there's so many things that we've done
that we probably never
thought that we would do.
Collabing with all these artists,
collabing with all these celebrities,
these athletes.
- I probably see like all the FaZe leaders
going on talk shows and stuff,
probably making a huge documentary,
probably on Netflix or something.
- I mean, considering where we are now,
from trickshotting and
playing Call of Duty
back home in Sweden or
wherever everyone was at,
absolutely nothing is impossible
and I know we are kinda riding this wave
because nobody has
really done this before,
but I feel like we're
also creating the wave.
- We're really starting
to break the barrier
of it just being fans who are gamers.
It's starting to transition from people
who are just passionate about gaming
to people who are just
passionate about all things
that come with gaming, like
the whole entire culture,
which is what FaZe really tries to push.
- I think that FaZe could
seriously be looked at
in the same way that
(indistinct) is looked at,
or like Barcelona.
- I see us alongside the
greatest historic franchises
in all of sports and entertainment.
- I think that VR will be
definitely more advanced
and I think we're gonna be in that market.
I mean, I don't know if it's a stretch,
but imagine filling up an arena
and it's like a virtual reality.
Imagine you see two sides.
(beep) bro, that's a hard, I don't know.
FaZe jet will be fire, yo,
FaZe jet yeah, we need that.
10 years, we can make that happen.
- We've built an unbelievable brand,
look at it I have the
logo here, the logo here,
the logo there, the logo
is like in front of me
in five different places.
As long as continue to
make the right decisions,
and we continue to move
forward in the right way,
I expect this to be a
very, very, very big brand
that is well known around the world.
I mean, we already are,
but I'm talking about
mainstream everybody
knows what FaZe Clan is.
10 years?
Listen, all you guys watching
you're gonna have kids,
so you gotta pass the
message on to your children,
let's make this, come one.
Some of you out there will
be in it with us anyways,
let's just keep growing this, all right?
(inspirational music)
(screaming)
(laughs)
- I could say endless
things about FaZe Clan,
especially personally for me,
before I moved to New York
my dad passed away and just
everybody in that house
taught me, Apex, Banks, Rain, Alex, Teeqo,
they were like super
super helpful with that,
and they just kinda guided me through that
and just kept me by their side.
That's something I'm
always gonna keep with me
for the rest of my life.
I feel like the bond that we have
and the friendships that we've
made, it's irreplaceable.
The family side of FaZe Clan is
the most important thing to me.
- [Both] Ah!
(laughs)
- Man we're getting sentimental here.
I mean, I really grew up in FaZe,
like I really became the
person that I am today.
They say that the closest
10 people in your life
kinda make you who you are, personality,
and for the past five years
that's always been FaZe.
You got me so fucking good!
- I got you so good.
(laughs)
- It's like a few of us
that can really say this,
I've been here from the beginning, man,
and you guys have
literally changed my life,
blessed me, blessed my family,
blessed all the people around us,
with just supporting our dream.
- It's just a beautiful
thing the fact that
we really created
something out of nothing.
Truly I was just a kid when
we first started doing this,
and it's just unbelievable
what we've built
in the last 10 years.
This is way bigger than all of us,
this is bigger than
anything I've ever imagined.
- I just wanna say thank you for
obviously especially
Temperrr back in the days.
- Oh my god, no--
- Look at that back, what?
- No!
- Giving me the opportunity
to move into the New York
FaZe house when I
technically didn't deserve it
or wasn't really qualified
for it, but they let me in,
one of the coolest things with this
is the fact that I've built relationships
with people from all around the world
and people that I
would've never met before.
- This is my Swedish bro
Teeqo, and I'm Blaziken.
- I'm just happy to be here.
- It's super cool doing all
these cool things all the time
but it doesn't even come
close to just hanging out with
everybody.
- It all comes from FaZe,
it all came just from kids
online playing video games.
A group of kids who believed in themselves
when nobody believed in them.
And now flash forward five, 10 years late,
and this is where we're
at, and it's just bizarre
for me especially, it's like what?
- I've been in this gaming
scene for a long long time,
and for as long as I can remember,
FaZe Clan has always
been right next to me.
Everything that I've been
into there was always
some FaZe homies into it as well.
- We turned FaZe Clan
from a little gaming team
to this awesome worldwide
lifestyle organization
and I couldn't be any more proud of myself
being a part of it.
- All those FaZe guys out there,
like literally every single one of you,
thank you so much for
helping me get to where I am,
because literally it wouldn't
be possible without your help
and your support, always having my back,
whether I'm going through (beep) or
whether I'm going through this or that,
or doing anything,
whether I'm feeling down,
literally FaZe has always got my back
because FaZe is family
and we always will be.
- I love FaZe, I thank everybody in FaZe
for all of their contributions to FaZe
and to my life, to be honest.
Because they've all helped
me in different ways,
they've all helped me
grow in different ways,
and it's really just the
people in FaZe that make FaZe,
so that's why I love FaZe, yeah.
- Thank you to all the fans, because
we would literally not be here
if they didn't support us.
Just all the support you've
shown like the videos,
and the love like you show
us, is just mind blowing.

FaZe Clan, thank you guys
