FaZe Clan is a professional esports team with teams competing in Call of Duty and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. FaZe was founded as a gaming clan on YouTube by FaZe ClipZ, FaZe Resistance and FaZe Housecat (later named Timid) making trick shotting videos in the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. These early members originally created sniping videos in the Call of Duty game series. The team would later be led by current leader and owner FaZe Temperrr. However, during Black Ops 2 in 2012 they decided that they wanted to expand into the competitive scene.

The FaZe YouTube channel was created on May 30, 2010 and as of January 6, 2016 has 3,566,201 subscribers, making it one of the most subscribed gaming teams on YouTube
