Ex-FaZe Creators Launch CORE, a Creator-Controlled Collective

The move underscores a push for creator control after FaZe’s messy 2025 breakup.

Overview

  • CORE, formed by former FaZe creators, debuted Thursday with a six-person roster and a name that stands for Create, Own, Run, Everything.
  • They introduced a YouTube tour of a reported $20 million content house, highlighting features like courts, a theater, a bowling alley, a gym, and a large garage.
  • The group said its first branded livestream will run May 2 on a new Twitch channel.
  • Kaysan appeared prominently in the launch video, though his status as a member has not been confirmed.
  • Hours after the reveal, FaZe co-founder Ricky Banks used a Twitch podcast to accept blame for contract and management missteps that he said drove the 2025 split.
