Welp here goes the story. Clipz, TimidHouseCat, and I started the team back in 2010. Obviously it just started as a group of friends, and we never really expected to compete with the other large clans at that time like OpTic and M40A3. At that time I think Timid was the only one with a PVR. I might have had a Dazzle but never used it cause the quality was way worse. The early days just consisted of Timid, Clipz, and I with some of our friends going for cool killcams, and then compiling them into a montage. This ended up becoming ILLCAMS.
We really only recruited close friends until we started to grow and realized we should probably expand the team a bit. We literally held a sniper only FFA tournament on Terminal to decide who to recruit LOL. Temperrr was always first or second during these matches so Clipz, Timid and I got into a party to discuss recruiting him. At that time, Temperrr would record his clips with a video camera that he used for skateboarding videos. Tbh the quality was pretty clean, right between a dazzle and PVR quality. Anyway we invited Temperrr to the xbox party and asked him to join.
Ever since FaZe started to grow at the early stages, I would always try to reach out to the bigger players and teams for advice. One day I got into a lobby with OpTic Vivo. We talked for a bit and actually ended up becoming pretty good friends. After a few months of talking and playing together, Vivo said we should go to MLG Dallas 2010 since a lot of the OpTic team were going to be there, including H3CZ. Since I lived in Dallas, a couple of my real life friends and me got tickets and went to the event. We didn't have anything scheduled and obviously no one knew who we were. We saw a lot of people on the other side of the event with optic jerseys on so we just walked right up to them. I asked H3CZ if we could just take a 10-15 second video introducing ourselves with him for our channel, which he was happy to do. This is when the channel started to really blow up. After meeting H3CZ and talking with him further after the event, he helped us get a contract with Machinima so we could start monetizing our videos. OpTic also put us in their "sub box" which was a huge deal if you remember what that was, and we were getting a ton of subscribers. We also started to play with a lot of the OpTic members which meant we could feature them in our videos bringing in ever more recognition.
Some more months went by, I met my girlfriend and started playing COD a bit less, Clipz got the red ring of death and quit, and (I think) Timid ended up leaving the clan to do some real life stuff eventually joining back later on. I made Tommy (Temperrr) co-leader as the leadership dwindled down and I didn't have time to do all the youtube stuff as much. Tommy did a great job at finding new recruits, finding editors, graphic designers, etc. After being co-leader for a while, he ended up kicking out two of my real life friends from the clan for not creating any content, meaning he just removed their names from the roster and their channels from the main channel. I was pretty upset about it, but I think I just ended up respecting the decision since Tommy was helping a lot with the channel. After some more time went by, Tommy ended up doing the following. I don't remember in which order, but this ultimately led to me leaving the team. He removed me from the roster as leader, created a separate "inactive" roster, put me as the only clan member on there, then changed the password to the channel and made himself the only leader. I fully admit after meeting my gf that I slowed down from playing a lot. I wasn't making my own videos, or hitting many killcams, etc. However I was still the founder of the team, and I did a lot of stuff behind the scenes to further the success of FaZe and try to make our members happy.
With that being said, I don't hold any animosity towards Tommy or any of the current or previous FaZe members. I never made or asked for a dollar from the organization. The girlfriend I met in high school that took my time away from call of duty is now my wife and we have two kids and a good life together. Even if it burned a few people, Tommy did what was necessary to elevate the team and get FaZe to where it is today. If I remained leader, I'm sure the org would be much smaller but it would be a team full of close friends that just play to have fun. That's all FaZe was ever meant to be.

wait so your one of the real "OG"s also thank u for sharing this it really helps understand the situation.
Respect
thank u so much for that in depth story time. so fucking interesting to hear your perspective. 🩷
REAL
For years I’ve been wanting to get your insight after hearing ClipZ and Timid House Cat. Thank you for this!
Also congrats on the wife and kids!!!
All I heard from his response was "Yes, I stole Faze because i thought I deserved it" what a self entitled snake🤦♂️
1 of the leaders got red ring of death (clips) and never got back online again, the other quit so there was only 1 owner left and he did nothing for FaZe. Reality is FaZe wouldnt be relevent if Temperrr didnt take full control, he had a vision and he saw it through. Morally was this wrong to do probably lol, but this happens alot in the real world. If you have something of value and potential and someone else realizes it and you arent using it to its potential someone will steal it no matter what it is.
@@tron868 banks literally had a mental breakdown and dipped on faze in NY and in transition pushed to sell out with cbass and temperr. Leaving the rest to conform or do there own thing, which is y its where it is now. Back then it was a different vibe as it was someone elses YT channel regardless of who was in the clan or felt like they were doing the work................. It doesnt mean he can just take the channel bc he was a manager on the YT channel with other people.....................
@@tron868absolutely
damn didn't get very far in the video i guess?
Not really he took over leadership cause none of the other leaders were even active
This has been known for years. Temperr stole FaZe and kicked the founder, CBass later recruited Banks and was kicked by Banks.
So Faze clan is more like snake clan nowdays
@@jesuscristo926yes 😂
So who can’t be kicked?
I still not processing how the founder gets kicked..
@@trippyangel7406the founders literally did nothing. Temperrr ran that shit. And no one has ever liked cbass ?
Faze is the “DeathRow records” of the gaming community 😂
didnt banks also do nothing for faze for a few years when he had that drug problem?
Yes
It's not a good look when you admit that you did do it and you say stuff like "I deserved it"
100% He could of just stopped doing all the work & left instead pulled a heist wow No give AF.
Don’t think he is doing a good job of explaining it. Pretty sure the other people had given up on it. Decided it was a waste of time. They didn’t care at the time. In any case, really late and weird to be bringing it up now. Been a decade.
@@lotharheinz5481also clipz only decided to come back when faze was already prosperous. It’s doesn’t look good for him
@@lotharheinz5481 It was finally addressed because with them now kicking all the remaining OGs (including Clipz) and replacing them with influencers, a lot of people are publicly talking about how Tommy stole the channel in the beginning
So if I just change my work email password and take over the system I am now the business owner 🤔 then I just have to say I deserve it when I’m confronted with the facts. Sounds full proof 😂
"He was doing everything" bro youre getting paid and you just joined faze! six months later he thought it was his?! what a joke the New Faze ogs are.
how much are these “OGS” actually contributing to faze over these decades tho ??? Most uploaded a few times in like 10+ years…
Nothing. They magically appeared back to the scene once they saw FaZe is a big deal and feel like they are entitled to something from them
@@maulik95 depends on who youre talking about
Yea it depends on who you mean. If you're talking about the actual original 3 then yea they haven't but they're also not standing at fazes door with their hand out. Idk about the other so called "OGs"
@@maulik95 you mean temper right, he felt entitled and stole faze.
Dude admits to stealing the bag
it was a grocery bag when he stole it
@@tron868 doesn’t matter
@@jibbt4059 You're naive to the real world, temperrr changed the lives of millions because of the decision he made right or wrong, people wouldn't hesitate to make that same decision
@@tron868 Temper is a thief thats what you dont realise stop dick riding
@@tron868 people lose their hands in some countries for stealing, you trying your best put lipstick on a turd. Dude had no idea what it was going to be before he stole it so quit the mental gymnastics
Temperrr thinks corporations stole FaZe but he’s the one who stole it in the first place.
No one knew what it was going to become
Man I hope one day I can just work at a company, get in a position of power, and just steal the bank passwords one day and become the owner😊
Tempers justification was weak AF.
It's interesting because this is not the first time that I've seen this storyline I believe it was covered in a phase New York vlog by rain back in the day as well. Like 2016 some time
This whole drama is from 2012
Timids house cat should sue banks and steal faze back
its sounds alot like self entitlement which does not put you in a good light.
He should've just started his own thing. The way he did it was wrong. No other way to see it.
Bro was mad he was a co owner who didnt get promoted and decided to change passwords and kick the owners 😂 sounds about right. “ I deserved faze” wow
Why u void his contract
Kicked ogs and some people who played cod to recruit people like JasonTheWeenie😭🤣😭🤣😭
Temperr saying he felt disrespected after what they just did to folks is wild lmfao
What scam did they already do?
@@cahranplavski what? where did scam come from. the relevant event that happened right before this video was the faze "reboot" stuff.
@@Dizzra1 I just assumed that they scammed people. Either way Temper's reasoning is so flawed its like taking care of a kid for a day and than instead of asking for money you just take the kid.
As a investor in FaZe, ill be sending a note to Game Square.
This whole thing is wild
Self entitlement at its finest 🤷🏿♂️
That knock out still effecting him😂
He said what's wrong with me hacking 😂😂 jokes
It was messed up for Temperrr to change the FaZe password without permission and steal the channel, but at the same time all the other leaders were barely doing anything for FaZe. Pretty sure ClipZ got the RROD and Resistance stopped playing. I think House Cat/Timid left but then joined back at a later date for a little bit i think. Temperrr was like the only person working on FaZe back then. If instead he decided to leave FaZe, then FaZe would not be here today imo. I dont hate any of the 3 OG leaders but i feel like a lot of the time they just really regret not staying with FaZe at the time.
Also dont know why this story is blowing up again. Anyone who's been watching FaZe for 10+ years knows Temperrr stole the channel
I kind of understand temperr with this. Years ago in a FPS called Americas Army, I was in a clan and quickly rose to one of the top leaders in the clan. The original owners slowly drifted away and then after months of no comms from them, I am running the show, I took their website and youtube channel over, I changed all of the passwords, because they just disappeared. I took over payments for the website, ran everything. Scrims, ACI and AON anti cheat scripts kept up on the servers, i spent more hours than I should have at 15 years old. All of it was for fun, so money was not involved. It wasn't that serious. Thats exactly how those kids who created faze felt back in the day.
What a joke, no wonder they ran it into the fcking ground lol
Kinda ironic the way the investors "changed the password" on them some might say lol
Exactly! They robbed it from the OGs then later made a bad decision and claimed they got "robbed" Karma at its finest 😂😂
How has he not sued? Even if he signed someone saying he wouldn’t sue he can still sue. They’re admitted it was stolen many times
How can you take a company from someone then call yourself the founder
Man I feel sorry for the faze brand its like nobody did anything to make it grow ever since the corporate suits got involved and banks was the first person who sold out
In some way they should have included the 3 original founders and made them co-founders just so that if anything were happen the 3 could be there to help.
Although Temperrr played a giant role in FaZe’s success, I still feel like it would only be right for ClipZ, Resistance, and Timid House Cat to always have a hand in the team they started regardless of what changes the team goes through over the years. Even if they willingly stepped down from leading the team, their positions as founders and having. Some degree of a say in what direction the team takes should be concrete no matter what.
The thing about founders, is just because you were there when it started, doesn't mean you necessarily helped to improve or grow the brand.
Thats not how beung an owners works. How would you feel if you own a home, and a squatter takes possession of your home when you go on vacation. Now you dont have access to your home.
@@revprodigy2509exactly, these people are fn delusional
I do all the work at my job to, but I’m not gonna steal a business and pretend like I own it
Bro there’s a serious lawsuit here
New vlogger
Tbh the founders and c bass took the safe route and went to college and didn’t show their face. The ones that actually took the risk got the results
Sounds like a lawsuit😅
To be fair they were teenagers at the time and UA-cam was not taken seriously. If this happened today it would be a crime but back then it was the equivalent of hacking someone’s RuneScape…
Sounds a lot like the tv show about the mcdonalds founders.
Once those contracts comes in ; yk it’s sketchy
Am I wrong in thinking he could have created his own clan? Or just branch off with his own org? Or maybe sit them down and have that discussion with the leaders?
Turns out, he went and changed faze clips password on his current account because he felt disrespected 😂 what a snake
He right man, I do everything at my job too, tomorrow i take ownership !
I feel Temper. I do so much for the place I work at, I’m gonna move my stuff into the managers office and take that shit over because I deserve it.
Ya know you’d think once you get the company name back you would just shut up and work for atleast a year or more to assess where your at and actually work on the brand again 😂 and they wonder why nobody wants anything to do with the faze scam
Just because your doing a bunch of work doesn't mean you just take shit and claim it's yours
This is what happens when egos collide. This Temper shit is common in any work field. Employees often feel like they do all the work and get none of the benefits. This isn't an online faze content creation thing, this is just life. You wither deal with it and don't bitch and wait your time and climb the ranks, or you move on and do it on your own.
I have nothing against Temperr, although that was a slimy thing to do (would've been better to talk it out and say I'm taking charge and such,) karma will bite them in the arse, ooh wait it did lol.
Mind you I knew most of this before it came up, cause most this was explained around the time of the new York house was going on. Either than the whole password change and such.
Without Temperrr, FaZe would never have grown and probably would of died with clans like M40A3.
Thts kind of ridiculous to say cause faze hasn't really been relevant in years
@@Drsinister420 In what way? Them being dead has nothing to do with their initial rise to fame. None of it would of happened without Temperrr, and that's undebatable.
@ultimatemayh3m768 yes but to also sit there and claim something thts urs and just cause u worked hard in there doesn't mean he had a right to steal it thts insane he could of drafted people into a different clan if it was tht dead again from the sounds of things temp was more in the wrong than anything else and admitted to tht there's no telling what could of happened if the dogs actually stayed as well and pretty much got kicked one morning he woke and said fuck it I'm stealing this
He already put a lot of time and effort into FaZe, and he cared for the clan. Actions speak louder than words, and based on contributions to the clan from members during the time when he changed the passwords showed that he cared about FaZe more than anyone, especially the original founders at the time. He was putting in more work than all the remaining founders , and in his eyes he felt that he deserved to be the main owner. He already loved FaZe, and he wasn't just going to leave and make a new clan when he put so much effort into the Clan, and rather than watching it die, he took the reigns. Also, whether you think it's right or wrong you also have to appreciate that he's being honest about it. Not to mention, the original founders, have been invited back to FaZe before and they added nothing to the Clan as a result. I'm personally on board with this new era of FaZe, and I just hope the best for them. #FaZeUp @@Drsinister420
Nobody knows how successful Faze clan would have been, had it not have been stolen, and that DOES NOT MATTER ONE IOTA! The only thing that matters, is that Temperr stole faze, and he outright admitted it. I hope the original Faze founders take Temperr for everything that he's worth! What a POS! Imagine trying to justify stealing because YOU EARNED IT 🙄I mean, poor guy, he worked so hard for 6 whole months.... what oh what is a guy to do. 🙄
Even if u were doing a lot for the team that doesn't makes it right to take someone else's brand that's not cool
If I was a co leader at the time that’s your part to help out who knew this would happen
A founder should always be apart of the thing they started
Og fans remember this story before it went public smh temperrr kinda grimy for that password shit but maybe it wouldn’t have become what it was if he never did that 🤔
Bro wanted to throw a Mr Beast video in there 😂
Regardless of what and where FaZe is going I think Clipz deserves his spot, he founded FaZe. They legally shouldn't be able to just rip of a contract without both parties agreeing. Anything else is just wrong. They had that contract for a reason.
Goodness me....this is bad.
Bro I dont even follow this crap, but... from a fresh perspective. From the information I gathered here. I think Temper got super lucky to Join a Clan that already had a head start by having the Ogs making some pretty important moves, then they fell off and Temper was carrying the clan at that point doing the bulk of the work. Yeah, it sucks that it was technically stolen, but damn thats a tough one. I mean honestly. Those are tough decisions. Should you try and make it work with people who arent tryna to work hard to do something with the clan anymore? even though they got it up and runnin? or.. should you just bite the bullet and cut them off? even though it feels wrong, but.. you know this is for the best cuz you need some damn help following through the vision? I mean damn, decisions.
ClipZ didn’t do shit for FaZe but make it and CBass helped ruined FaZe.
Just wait until the children find out there were orgs and clans before FaZe and Optic... 🙄
If he felt that way, he should’ve at least changed the name. Even if it meant losing some fame. Better to deal with it then than now.
Temperr would be a justified snake if Housecat and Resistance weren't already considered irrelevant by the time the drama happened. Anyone that was watching FaZe at the time knows NONE of the recruits mentioned anything about talking with anyone outside of Temperr
DUDES A MILLIONARE AND AN OWNER TALKIN ABOUT HE DIDNT GET HIS FLOWERS HAH
W video, W sweatshirt.
This has to be a fucking joke, he behaved like a child, why couldn't they just be adults and talk this out
Been known for years
I respect the video dude didn’t play victim just said his peace
But a big fail having to hear mr beast though get that kid outta here ❤
Young mistakes getting exposed
so temperr stole it... doesnt Resistance and clipz still technically own it unless paid for ownership rights?
It's been known for awhile that this happened and I understand all the hate for Temperrr, but FaZe wouldnt be anything today without Temperrr pushing it to the next level.
I heard the clan logo was stolen
How do you just steal a trademark it’s illegal so if you own something you own the trademark which is the Faze logo so how did he just steal it once you make something you own the rights to the logo I hope people understand this because it sounds to me the 3 people that started Faze never actually owned the logo
TBH 10 years ago. Who cares they were kids get over it. Big ups Temperr
I'm in my 30s and grew up with Faze, I have never heard of this dude lol
You mean you are almost in your 30s
@@Ivan-ll8oj said what I said
@@Matt-uf2yeyeah but just to let you know you can't be in your 30s and say you grew up with faze
@@Ivan-ll8oj Why not? Faze came out when I was 18 and and I spent my entire 20s watching them and being a fan. Do you stop growing when you reach a certain age?
@@Matt-uf2ye there is nothing wrong with being a young adult and being fan of what you liked but dude you are probably the exact same age as they are
It amazing how faze was not relevant now all of the sudden they are important lol drama
These “streamers” need to shut up
They are smart
They ain’t slick
That man can get sued and loose all of it
Why he admitted to taking and stealing information that was alleged is beyond me… you saw what happened to the Friday the 13th brand ?
It’ll happen to faze if any of those OG members grow a pair and sue sue epically with a accused admitting to the dead
Sellouts regretting they sold out. Too funny.
this is so stupid the original Founders that made rockstar definitely made one of the best video games for that time for sure but I'm not about to sit up here and think that these guys can make Rockstar what it is today
He went from saying I don’t who the fuck clipz is, to giving a whole overview of trying to find him lol he stole it because he felt like he was doing more work than everyone but had no right to do that lol. You think the ceo of the company is working harder than the employees NO! Douche move
They got too big and sold out to a corporate board it seems
Lol so in his own words "yes i stole it, but i deserved to steal it"..
Like what is he even talking about like a run on sentence
Just a rat, explaining his rat behavior
Bruh this is old af news... 😂😂😂
FaZe = 🐍
Sounds like someone should get some legal advice!
I miss this mrbeast
Tommy was the one who pulled it off and made what faze was. The others moved on in life the ogs have all said they have love for Tommy. So why tf are people so pressed
Just sue him and get the company back or compensation 😊
Dang he definitely stole it lol whatttttttt
No honor among thieves huh lmao
I guess since I'm the manager at my company I should change the locks and tell everyone I'm the new owner dude is a bozo
it wasnt a business when he did it, they were literally all teenagers still living with their parents playing cod. It really wasnt that serious at the time. In truth, if temperrr didnt do what he did faze wouldve just turned into another irrelevant cod team that fell off
still sounds wrong lol
without temper doing what he did FaZe Clan wouldnt even be a thing.
Hard to say the channel was less than a year old with 800 subs when temper changed the password
True, but if they were as inactive as its been said they were then there would have been no growth@@tylerdewald6916
@@tylerdewald6916 True, but if they were as inactive as it has been said they were, then it would have had no growth going forwards.
@psygdeathstreak5542 you do realize how many times from 2014-2019 the faze channel went close to a year without posting pretty much the only one that pushed content to the main channel was spratty till he kinda gave up.
Faze is whack, turned into a drama org and are still a drama org. OGs liked the gaming content. Faze jumped the shark a long time ago as an org and just bought some good esports teams to hide the fact the so called OGs have lost it
Faze clan just sounds like a hot mess
It doesn’t matter if u we’re doing your job u we’re hired to do and after only 6 months u think u can take other people’s ideas that bs no wonder faze is where it’s at cause it was stolen
New faze is basically Clout Gang 2.0 with poppin irl streamers vs Clout gang 1.0 poppin youtubers smh shits dead man let it die and just remember the good times…
