FaZe Clan is one of the biggest American esports organizations, founded in 2010. While the Los Angeles-headquartered collective has won numerous esports and gaming tournaments, it has also been involved in some controversies.

In October 2023, GameSquare announced that it would acquire FaZe Holdings, the organization's parent company, in an all-stock deal. As a result, FaZe Banks would become the new CEO.

In an interview last year, the 32-year-old stated that he, FaZe Temperr, and FaZe Apex would restore the organization to its former glory. He said:

"I'm confident that with Tommy, Apex, and me back in charge of the brand, FaZe Clan will get back to where it was in its peak years."

On February 28, 2024, Bengtson tweeted, "You're all f**king fired," in response to Jake Lucky's report. The social media post has received over 2.8 million impressions, with popular Fortnite streamer Rani "Stable Ronaldo" saying:
