Overview
- At least five high‑profile members — Adapt, JasonTheWeen, Lacy, Silky and Stable Ronaldo — publicly posted that they left the organization on Dec. 25, with Adapt departing after 14 years.
- Co‑founder Richard “FaZe Banks” Bengtson said he left the company four months earlier and denied involvement in the exits, later criticizing some former talent and describing past support he says they received.
- Social posts and streamer commentary allege new leadership sought a 20% cut of creator earnings, a claim widely cited in coverage but not independently verified.
- TechCrunch, citing Bloomberg, reports months of negotiations with investor HardScope led by CEO Matt Kalish, who called the group’s current financial structure unsustainable and plans to continue without the departing influencers.
- Roster status remains fluid, with some outlets listing Kaysan, ZooMaa and YourRage as still affiliated, while peers like Valkyrae have speculated the departing creators could form a new group.
