There are no details on the terms of the settlement, but Tfue and FaZe are over.
Tfue first indicted FaZe in May 2019, when he was the No. 1 Fortnite streamer in the world. He had been playing under the FaZe banner for a year, but he wanted out of his contract, claiming it was “very oppressive, awkward and one-sided”, especially considering he was just 20 years old when he signed it. Tfue called FaZe illegal to act as a talent agency, banned him from signing sponsorship deals, and was able to collect up to 80 percent of the revenue he earned outside the organization.
FaZe denied the allegations, saying it had just made $ 60,000 from its partnership with Tfue. FaZe released Tfue from his contract two days after the lawsuit was filed (but today it is official that they have done so and we still called it), and advised him in New York for non-payment of assignments, tried to poach and correct his former teammates in the wrong forum.
The Tfue lawsuit in California was dismissed in July, and FaZe’s was put on trial in New York in October.
Amid last year’s legal proceedings, Tfue grabbed shit for using a racial slur while he was alive – not for the first time – and broke the news that he would no longer stream with his long time Fortnite crew, Dennis “cloakzy” Lepore and Thomas “72hrs” Mulligan. Tfue stopped streaming in September, saying he felt trapped in a negative mental crawlspace. He returned to Twitch less than three weeks later.
