21 year old Turner “Tfue” Tenney, a famous Twitch streamer known for his “Fortnite” abilities, is suing FaZe Clan, the gaming group that arguably skyrocketed his career. Let’s take a super-trendy look at the lawsuit drama.
What Is FaZe Clan?
Founded back in 2010, FaZe community consists of like 30 bros guised as gamers. One being Tfue. Do most of them have tattoos? Yes. Are they all mostly handsome? Yes. Does FaZe accurately represent gamers? No. All in all, the community kills it on Twitch and YouTube alike with 81 million combined YouTube subscribers, 9.7 billion combined YouTube views, 11.2 million Twitch followers and 53.6 million Twitch views.

Added bonus, here is a tweet from FaZe’s COO:
Who Is Tfue?
Twitch and YouTube-famous “Fortnite” pro. 21 years old. Possibly best in the world. Before making it big in gaming, Tfue’s repertoire consisted of bro-tastic stunt videos. Same vein as “Jackass.” Now, the youngster is raking in millions playing Bros Intro. To put Tfue’s popularity into perspective: his Twitch streams have been viewed more than 120 million times, and he has more than 10 million YouTube subscribers and 5.5 million Instagram followers.

So, an 80% FaZe Clan and 20% Tfue profit contract doesn’t sound appealing and he wants out. That’s the abridged version to the max. Yes, at first glance the contract seems rough, but what is the price of blowing up on the main video platforms? Priceless by today’s standards.
Going public with a huge lawsuit puts Tfue in a weird spot. He’s going after an organization built on the shoulders of bros. They won’t go down without a super annoying, loud fight. Where the popcorn and G Fuel at? This is about to get wild. Find me at the clout house.
