FaZe Clan History<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s take a trip down memory lane with the highlights of FaZe Clan’s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Birth of FaZe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The organization started as a Call of Duty group on May 30, 2010, and created the ILLCAMS Series featuring trickshot montages in early June 2010. The original FaZe logo wasn’t created until August of the same year. In 2011, FaZe’s YouTube presence grew, and it coincided with the first line of FaZe Clan apparel. Then, in the fall of 2012, the FaZe Clan YouTube channel reached the 1 million subscribers milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2013, the organization celebrated its YouTube channel reaching 2 million subscribers. This was also the first year FaZe Clan competed in Call of Duty with its original esports team. In March of the same year, the now-legendary FaZe Banks joined as manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2014 was a massive year for FaZe Clan, as they won their first Call of Duty Championship and created the New York FaZe House. In 2015, they hit 3 million subscribers on YouTube and expanded their content portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esports Expansion Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

FaZe Clan moved to Los Angeles in 2016 and expanded into Counter-Strike and Overwatch. In 2017, they entered the PUBG esports scene. Their CSGO team also won four significant events, subsequently getting ranked first in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FaZe didn’t slow down in 2018. It entered the Rainbow Six and FIFA scenes alongside an extremely popular Fortnite team \u2014 and even American rapper Lil Yachty (FaZe Boat) joined the crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, we saw FaZe Clan sign the likes of Mongraal, NICKMERCS, H1ghSky1, Sway, and Ewok. The organization entered a partnership with Nissan and was featured in The New York Times. Other highlights include a partnership with Manchester City, a whopping 1 billion views on the YouTube channel, and the launch of FaZe Academy \u2014 to name but a few accomplishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, we saw Atlanta FaZe win three CDL Majors and the Championship. The organization partnered with McDonald’s USA and made history as the first gaming organization on the cover of Sports Illustrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FaZe Clan’s CSGO team won PGL Major Antwerp 2022, and its COD team won CDL 2023 Stage 2 Major. Its presence continues to grow in leaps and bounds in 2023. We even saw hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg join FaZe as a member of the board of directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
