In a surprising move, Richard ‘Banks’ Bengtson, the new CEO of FaZe Clan, has announced that all FaZe staff are “fired.” This news has sent shockwaves through the gaming community and has left many questioning the future of the popular esports organization.

Bengtson took over as CEO of FaZe Clan after the organization was acquired by GameSquare, the parent company of Complexity Gaming and Code Red Esports, in October 2023. While the acquisition was seen as a positive development for FaZe Clan, the decision to fire all staff has raised eyebrows.

According to Bengtson, the decision to fire all staff was made in order to make room for new talent and fresh ideas. He believes that this move will help streamline the organization and position it for future success.

However, some are skeptical of this announcement. Many fans and industry insiders have pointed out that FaZe Clan is known for its strong team culture, and that firing all staff seems like a drastic move.

Others have speculated that this decision may be a result of pressure from GameSquare, which may be looking to make changes in order to better align FaZe Clan with its other esports properties.

Regardless of the reason behind this decision, it is clear that FaZe Clan is entering a new era under Bengtson’s leadership. Only time will tell whether this move will pay off for the organization, but one thing is certain: the esports world will be watching closely to see what happens next.
