Why did he leave FaZe Clan?

Currently, FaZe Clan is experiencing a significant amount of turmoil, with financial losses and members openly criticizing the management. Pamaj took to his YouTube channel to announce his departure in light of the situation. Adding to it, he said:

"I want to say thanks for the opportunity to join back. They've given me a home but this is not the same team when I first joined. It doesn't feel the same."

He also added:

"This decision, I'm really just choosing me. I've been quite unhappy with myself, with sort of my surroundings and it's kind of just where life has taken me I guess."

Over the past year, a lot has happened within the FaZe Clan, including the recent drama involving FaZe Rain, who publicly called out the upper management for their mismanagement and current appointments.
