FaZe (originally FaZe Sniping) was created by three Call of Duty players: Eric “FaZe ClipZ” Rivera, Jeff “FaZe House Cat” Emann (later known as FaZe Timid), and Ben “FaZe Resistance” Christensen. They started the clan and YouTube channel together in 2010 around MW2 trickshot content.

Quick Scoop

  • The original founders of FaZe were ClipZ, House Cat, and Resistance, who launched the FaZe Sniping YouTube channel on May 30, 2010.
  • They became known for innovative trickshotting in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which helped FaZe blow up on YouTube.
  • Later on, Thomas “FaZe Temperrr” Oliveira and Yousef “FaZe Apex” Abdelfattah joined and helped turn FaZe from a small sniping clan into a massive esports and lifestyle brand, which is why some people casually call Temperrr a “founder,” even though he joined after the original trio.
