FaZe Banks kicks longtime members to begin the reboot of FaZe Clan

FaZe Banks initiated a significant 'reboot' of FaZe Clan, a move that has left fans and followers intrigued about the gaming powerhouse's future.

Marking a significant shift in the FaZe Clan's dynamics, the departure of long-standing group members and the reduction of creators to 14 signifies the beginning of FaZe Banks' takeover. The aftermath of this restructuring has seen several ex-members of the FaZe Clan voicing their removal on social media, further underlining the magnitude of these changes.

With Banks' announcement of a 'reboot,' the ripple effects were felt across the clan. Members began announcing their 'kick' from the group on YouTube and X (formerly Twitter), a clear indication of the significant changes underway.

Many of these creators, who had been with the group for many years, some even since the clan's inception, are now speaking out about their removal, highlighting their deep-rooted loyalty and commitment.

For the first time since March 4, Banks uploaded to the official FaZe Clan X account. This featured a new digital version of the FaZe Clan logo and a little film showing the group "deleting" former members.

Banks said: “One of FaZe’s biggest issues has been how separated everyone’s been in terms of vision, value, type of content, direction career is headed. And all I can really say is, we feel like it’s important to be very clear-cut about who’s actively representing the brand the way we want it to be represented.”

He continued by saying that the members of the FaZe Clan have been acting like "greedy pigs" and "all over the place." Banks revealed that by purging members and reviving the group, the latter will “outlive any one person that wears the name.”

Banks identified the 14 people who would make up the organization's final few members shortly after sharing the video on the official account:
