FaZeClan is over

Alright, what's going on guys? It's Jeff backer over on some more Elden Ring So in the last video I my way through this castle ensis area got some more upgrades and stuff I didn't play very long I spent most of the video beating Rolana and then just like running around in circles over here to get the Upgrades and stuff beat the hippo and now I'm over here. I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. What's going on guys? It's Jeff as you guys pretty much have seen phase clan is

Over phase clan ended. It's gone. It's done So where to start so on the 25th all of the guys that were recruited for I guess like the new restructuring thing I guess we could call it they ended up dropping the majority of people which I already made a whole video on that and I felt a certain type of way But I had hopes for like all the new guys and stuff like that And I mean ultimately it seems like they've been very successful from what I understand Everyone's popped off so phase as you know The company and the logo and just the name in general still does its thing in the day when you joined phase

That was basically your ticket into turning this whole like internet thing Especially at that time gaming wise into an actual career and back in 2014 apex ended up reaching out to me and gave me a chance And everything and ever since that point my life had changed and over the years as time went on there's been a whole lot of different like Iterations and versions of phase and just the way that the internet is in general the way content is there's all sorts of different Eras, it's not just the phase eras

It's like the internet eras as well and things change over that time But for phase it was always important for them to at least keep a hold of some people that still represented the original Idea so I always just you know stayed in the team mostly out of respect for everybody regardless of all like the controversies and whatever other Crazy stupid shit everybody's getting involved with this is why I don't do any of this business stuff I don't really give a fuck about none of that It was always about gaming in the end for me So it's mostly out of respect for people like especially apex as well a rain as well as another big What I consider like a mentor now that said just because I stayed in the team out of respect for them and everything things got Very messy there anyway, because it was never

Eventually, it got so weird and murky with people selling or stealing the company or whatever. I don't even understand it. I'm having journalists hit me up and shit asking me like, hey, is this accurate? Aren't you the fucking journalist? I have no idea. In this whole like YouTube space, like I got friends, but everybody knows like anybody that knows me, they could probably say the same kind of situation. I'm not that close to a lot of people. I keep to myself. I do my own thing. I live my own life and that was my goal at the end of this whole thing Anyway was to just do as much as I possibly could through gaming and gaming only and that's it So once all these bigger deals started coming in content houses started getting made I visited the face house once but everything was still like mainly gaming and stuff

It was like vlogging and stuff, but it was still based around gaming mostly and then it veered like even further away from that which is completely fine, but at that point like I'm just not really that's not really my space I don't really care so I've always been like at at least arms distance from virtually every single person in phase and Anybody else I mean if it makes anyone feel any better. I do that with everybody It's not it's not specific to phase, but I don't want to travel the world I don't want to make like five million fucking friends. I don't want to make business partners and shit like that. I don't do business. I really don't. I got the one sponsor with G fuel because I actually drink it and past that I really don't look for anything else.

Any sponsorship and business related stuff that I would take or undergo or create or something. I have no will to create anything. There's a whole lot of people that are telling me all dude just take over FaZe Clan and start recruiting people and turn the ship around and stuff dude even if I could do that I don't want to do that I don't want to be a leader. I would genuinely I'm not joking I would rather be a part of a group and not be the leader and lose Then be the leader and win. I don't want to leave

I don't want to lead so much so that I would rather lose under somebody else's leadership. Don't want to be responsible. I don't want to create something that other people could potentially depend on. I don't want to do it I don't have the passion for that kind of thing. I got the passion for what it is that I do Specifically and that's it. So people are asking am I leaving phase? Am I staying in phase? I didn't really know how to explain it. But how did you can't leave a team that is literally over it's done It's gone. You can't leave a team that doesn't exist I'm making that sound like it's dramatic or like a bad thing in truth of all the ways that this could have ended It's not that bad

It's actually kind of perfect for a lot of the people here that are involved with phase Especially behind the scenes and stuff It seems like a whole lot of people have a whole lot of like beef with each other and money and contract splits. By the way, I just have to note this here. Under the entire time that I was in phase, I'm like 99% positive I never even saw a contract. Anywhere. I never even saw a contract. I was never asked of anything

or like a percentage of anything. This is also through all of the time of like them selling and like having like new leadership or whatever, whoever's owning it. I have never been approached by the original leaders. I've never been approached by the new owners of any of these with a contract. I have never been approached period about a contract.

From the very beginning, it's no strings attached. The most organic membership you could possibly have. I didn't get signed to FaZe, I joined FaZe and I stayed. That's it. I didn't get signed to shit. A lot of people go and look at these organizations like they're getting signed to like some sort of NFL team or some shit like that you guys look at this space like it's way more

professional than it actually is I don't think you guys recognize well maybe you will how shitty this entire like eSports slash organizational stuff is it is messy as fuck and most of it was ran by literal kids back in the day people have no idea what the fuck they're doing and I'm not just talking about phase either. He's his reputation has been in the gutter for I Don't even know how I was on like an upward trajectory As is already and apex found me saw me kept an eye on me and eventually ended up recruiting me to the team Which sent my momentum into a whole other stratosphere at the time now today I have over 5 million subscribers

I can go and post and upload anything and everything that I want uploaded over 4,000 videos hundreds well before I even joined phase I could say without a doubt like I am in just such a good headspace just healthy I have a really good way of like reframing and stuff and over the years I'm happy it's taken this long to really get here because not really sure how I would have handled it You know a few years back or whatever, but I think that ending like this I think this is one of the cleanest ways possible, you know, wipe our hands clean of this whole thing Here's to the future You know that said all that's basically gonna change on my channel is a grand total of two things my name on YouTube and my bio

On Twitter and I think that's it So all I'm gonna do is change two things on the channel Nothing in the content is changing whatsoever A lot of people already say they don't consider me a part of phase or whatever blah blah, blah, blah. Regardless, overall, FaZe means a lot of different things to a whole lot of different people, and maybe some people are just gonna tune out whenever they hear that,

they don't really know what that means. But the idea of FaZe to me had a lot more to do with the original gaming stuff and the entire culture around that. All the flexing and shit, regardless of how much money I've made over the years, That's like super entertaining for a whole lot of other people and that's what phase is to them But for me, that's not really what it was

So everybody's got their different ideas of phase But I just want to thank every single person in phase throughout all the years whether we interacted a lot or did it I'm proud Of you guys those of you I remember those of you who I don't Those of you who I don't even know if you were ever in the team or it. No, I still know generally what's going on. I'm on the internet all the time It's not like, you know sitting around on some boat or some shit sitting here gaming and I'm on the internet I see it. I know, you know, I've talked to apex. I've talked to rain talk to other people in the team scope as well I see it. I know, you know, I've talked to apex. I've talked to rain talk to other people in the team scope as well

Yeah, it seems like everybody is just ready. So that's me touching on the face thing. I ain't saying no names none of that shit. I don't know anybody. I can't speak on none of that I just hope the best for all of you and a lot of you guys managed to get out of all that evil ass money
