FaZe Clan is a professional eSports team that has teams competing in Call of Duty, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Overwatch. It was founded as a gaming clan on YouTube by players known as FaZe ClipZ, FaZe Resistance and FaZe Housecat (later named Timid), who made trick shot videos for the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. These early members originally created sniping videos for the Call of Duty game series. The team would later be led by current co-manager FaZe Temperrr. In 2012, with the release of Black Ops 2, they decided to expand into the competitive scene. FaZe Red was placed 3rd at the Call of Duty Championship 2015 and won the 2015 Season 3 championships.
Their first roster was created in 2011 consisting of Heist, Folsom, Secretly, and Sham to compete at the MLG Winter Championship 2012. Their next roster was Heist, maxba2, Replays, and MBoze. The team finished 5th place and took home $2,300 at the event. The roster got a complete makeover going into UMG Atlanta as only Replays stayed to be joined by Slacked, Huhdle, and SpaceLy. The team made the semifinals of the eight team invitational, but were eliminated by eventual 2nd-place finisher, compLexity Gaming. To close out Black Ops 2, the team attended the 4 team MLG Fall Invitational. The team once again kept the same roster but finished in 4th place and won no money.
At the Championship, the team was upset by the Australian team Trident T1 Dotters in group stage but were able to advance to Bracket play with two big wins over SK Gaming and Aztek Gaming. They secured the 2nd seed in their group and set a match with the other Australian team, Team Immunity. They avoided another upset by defeating them 3-0 with the one of the top European teams, Epsilon eSports. They won again to set up a match against the favorites compLexity in which FaZe lost 3-1. The team but lost their next match the Losers bracket against Strictly Business 3-0. The team finished 6th place and walked away with $50,000.
