‘Fortnite’ player Tfue presses his esports team to #ReleaseTheContract
In his video, Tenney begins by saying that parts of the lawsuit referring to a dangerous lifestyle and stunts performed in videos is not what he wants it to be about and will be removed. Beyond that, his messages is simple, imploring followers to pressure FaZe to "#ReleasetheContract." The deal that his lawsuit claims is onerous and one sided is not fully available to the public, and Tenney says that while he cannot disclose what's in it, that once people are shown they'll understand how bad it is. Engadget has contacted FaZe Clan but has not received a response yet, we'll update this post if there's any new information.
Update: In response to the video, FaZe Clan owner Richard "FaZe" Banks tweeted that "we ARE indeed releasing the contract."

By the way we ARE indeed releasing the contract. Just got off the phone with the hirer ups and we're preparing it for you guys now. I have nothing to hide and everything I've said throughout all of this is the truth. We tried for a straight year to come to a new agreement.

So yea I'll say it again. We ARE releasing the contract momentarily. This wasn't about standing up for what's right, it's manipulative to suggest that. This was about what Tfue's dad believed was in his best interest (leaving FaZe) and stopping at nothing to accomplish it.

Last tweet. Our legal team is preparing everything, we will release the contract with all the context in the world when we can. Again all @TTfue you had to do to accomplish that was ask me. We weren't prepared for this so just give us some time. It's coming. Thanks.
