FaZe Clan members react to Tfue lawsuit and Banks comments
https://www.ispeech.org/text.to.speech
The biggest story of today, and maybe of 2019 is Tfue allegedly suing FaZe Clan.
If you follow FortniteINTEL, you are probably aware of this story by now.
In case you aren’t here are the key pieces. A Hollywood Reporter article was posted this morning saying that Tfue was suing FaZe Clan.
A bunch of esports community members responded to the allegations in various ways. One of the most notable was 100 Thieves owner Nadeshot.
FaZe Banks, one of the owners of FaZe Clan, took offense to the tweet and called Nadeshot a “piece of shit” among other language. That tweet has been deleted but a screenshot can be found in the link above.
This article is serving as a round-up of the many various takes on the situation from FaZe Clan members.
The most interesting response came from Tfue’s duo partner Cloakzy. The two have become one of the top duos in the world and won boatloads of money together. Banks talks about how he first connected the two of them in his video and Cloakzy confirms that in this statement:

We’re going to start at the top. The key players in the building of FaZe Clan have been Banks, Temperr, Rain and Apex. We’ve already seen Banks tweets, here are the other three:
It’s a shame to see how this all went down. There’s always better ways to handle things. Banks out of everyone I’ve ever known is one of the most passionate, hardworking & loving human beings- goes above & beyond for the people he loves. What happened today felt heartless & wrong

We’re the good guys…. we have made dreams come true for YEARS. Don’t ever forget that.

As tough as it may be after reading such big claims as the ones that were made – wait for all the information before believeing everything you see, and forming an opinion.. you’ll have our side shortly ✌?

Those tweets were made at various points throughout the day, all three also retweeted the official FaZe clan response and the Banks video titled “Dear Tfue.”
Other people in the FaZe organization were also active in defending their organization:
People are quicker to tweet hate than love that’s crazy

Always two sides of every story. Crazy to see so many fans & even “friends” turning their back & publicly doing so without even knowing half of it…
I love @FaZeClan #FaZeUp forever

Listen all I’m gonna say is imma defend my bros & my team until the day I die. I know I’m biased but I’m also one of the few people that know the ACTUAL facts of this situation. @FaZeClan will make a statement shortly

Can’t forget to mention how great @Banks is as a person. He always made sure I was comfortable and was taken care of while in LA. Love that dude

What we learned today is that we are all fairly young living in such a new world of gaming. We all jump to conclusions or want to be involved. At the end of the day the truth of situations will come out and people will learn from their mistakes

Other players like Censor just retweeted the official response. Tennp0 just confirmed his support for Cloak with a quick response as well.
My man.

Do research before you slander someone or something. Very sad to see top influencers jump on the hate band wagon for a drop of clout. FaZe has always had my interests first. Instantly stood by me during the suspension thing, and I stand by them now. #FaZeUp

Very few people had absolutely nothing to say about the situation on Twitter. One of those was Funk, who is one of the few solo and duo Fortnite World Cup qualified players. He also doesn’t have a super active Twitter account, so that may be why there isn’t a comment.
Dubs and Megga, two more recent additions to FaZe Clan who qualified for the Fortnite World Cup, also didn’t comment.
I’m sure I missed some interesting thoughts from around the organization – FaZe Clan has a ton of people in it – but these are from the biggest names and biggest followings.
There are probably close to 20 million followers combined over all of those accounts, which is why this story has absolutely blown up over the last couple of days.
