Former CEO of FaZe Clan and co-founder Thomas Alves Oliveira, who goes by the online alias FaZe Temperrr, has recently explained why the organization laid off many associated content creators and streamers. Much like the current head of the company FaZe Banks, Oliveria noted the changing times as a justification for restructuring FaZe Clan.
FaZe Temperrr claimed that there won't be another chance to keep the organization relevant and that the recent layoff was the "last shot" at making things work:
He also claimed that the management's back was against the wall and that the FaZe Clan layoffs were a necessary move:
FaZe Temperrr has been part of the Clan since he was a teenager, and he became the first CEO of the company when the group was first corporatized. For those who are not aware, Banks took over the organization a few months ago and is facilitating the recent changes by cutting several streamers. This has naturally been a point of contention in the community.
FaZe Temperrr, however, justified cutting people off, claiming that the former members were not bringing any value to the brand:
He also compared the layoffs to roster changes in sports organizations, claiming that they have to adapt to the changing times:
To conclude his point of view on the recent restructuring of the organization, FaZe Temperrr noted how far the brand has come, saying:
With several holes to fill in the roster after the recent layoffs, two new streamers have joined FaZe Clan, with Max "Plaqueboymax" being the first to come on board. The most recent signing was Twitch partner Rico "Silky."
