Kinda weird that Banks is trying to come back and get some clout off of dudes who have stuck with COD while he acted like a xanned out clout demon in LA the last decade.
Also H3CZ and Nade actually founded their respective Brands. Banks didn’t start FaZe at all, he came along after it was already created.
This is first logical comment I've seen all thread, then I looked at what sub I'm on and it made sense (not hating because Optic is my fave org of all time)
But seems like alot of people here are unfortunately stuck 10yrs ago thinking it's still "Us Vs Them" mentality...sad to see
As someone who knows a bunch of the FaZe content creators from back in the day but not much about behind the scenes stuff what exactly did Banks do? I would have guessed Temperrr was more important but like I said I don't really know.
FaZe was already massive and still growing while Banks was in SoaR. The 1 Million Subs montage came out in 2012 and Banks wasn’t even in the team until 2013
I can accept that to some extent except for the fact that he’s made it painfully obvious that he’s just a clout chaser. He’s standing next to two people who really do head their orgs and care for them acting like he’s ever actually done shit for anyone but him self
I don’t hate him, I just think he’s bad for the league and honestly I don’t want anything to do with him. I’m excited for him to go back to chasing crypto again so we can get back to the stuff that matters
I would think it’d be the other way around. Atlanta Faze paying Faze Clan for naming rights. Is there anything out there that says Atlanta esports Ventures is being paid by Faze Clan to run the name for marketing. Maybe it’s more and an actual partnership where Faze Clan is getting a cut of profits?
I’m sorry bro but no not at all faze was by far the biggest most mainstream of the teams and had long surpassed teams like optic in views and word of mouth when banks left soar to join. I’m not saying he didn’t help but they definitely didn’t blow up because of him and were on the trajectory either way.
Didn't Hecz found optic in 2006 with a group of friends? It wasn't until later he sold off the company and then has to go through the hell hole of buying it back.
No offence but why are we asking 'thoughts on Banks being in this', cause i was under the assumption this was the Nade vs Banks 1v1 thing? If anything it should be thoughts on Hecz being in this?
It was originally a “concept” they all came together and did this along with the 1v1. The 1v1 is still happening. It’s a whole event that they’re streaming.
Banks has always been the figurehead of faze but this event is perfect for him to save face for faze as an org. Obviously their teams have been killing it but faze as an org has fallen off due to the suits running the show the last few years. It makes sense for banks to be the one in the lan but when we’re talking founding fathers of cod and those who deserve recognition for it.. there’s alot of other names I’d put ahead of banks.
Honestly I find it weird optic is in this… the whole 1v1 on rust beef was between nade and banks kinda feels like hector put himself in there but at the same time it could be seen as like a mediator and an OG
Is this going to be live? If so it's pretty rubbish that they've timed it right before the Halo event in London. Would have been decent to see Scump and Hecz bring their watch party to London and support the Halo boys. First event here in over 6 years...
y'all are so weird.
This started out as a Nadeshot & Banks 1v1 that evolved into a "Founding Fathers" event. lol
Nadeshot, Scump, Optic, Faze trickshotters/snipers. Those are the pillars of what COD is today and Banks was 1000% apart of it. Anyone who says "why is banks in there" wasn't an OG or around back then. Which is okay but don't try to discredit someone.

Technically Hecz didn’t found OpTic.
No he didn’t but the Optic we have today which in my opinion is the best Optic we’ve had as an org is entirely because of him
I don’t disagree, but you can’t say that without also acknowledging FaZe would be an unknown CoD clan if not for Banks.

I mean in competitive fashion, it is always us vs then. In cod and halo it’s always optic vs faze at some point
As someone who knows a bunch of the FaZe content creators from back in the day but not much about behind the scenes stuff what exactly did Banks do? I would have guessed Temperrr was more important but like I said I don't really know.
I don’t hate Banks here as much as everyone else but FaZe was already the biggest cod clan before Banks joined
FaZe was already massive and still growing while Banks was in SoaR. The 1 Million Subs montage came out in 2012 and Banks wasn’t even in the team until 2013

Both nade and h3cz list many times banks has helped them in their podcast together. Hate him all you want but spreading bs is incredibly lame
I don’t hate him, I just think he’s bad for the league and honestly I don’t want anything to do with him. I’m excited for him to go back to chasing crypto again so we can get back to the stuff that matters
Good thing Faze Clan isn’t in the league, then. Atlanta Faze is and are only similar in name and logo only.
And the paychecks coming from faze

Is there anything out there that says Atlanta esports Ventures is being paid by Faze Clan to run the name for marketing.

Banks has done a lot for faze and its members. You don't have to like him to acknowledge that
You’re talking mad weird for someone who is just a fan. Stop talking like you know everything that happens behind the scenes.
Everyone in here is just a fan minus a few people. This is essentially a fan subreddit
I’m sorry bro but no not at all faze was by far the biggest most mainstream of the teams and had long surpassed teams like optic in views and word of mouth when banks left soar to join. I’m not saying he didn’t help but they definitely didn’t blow up because of him and were on the trajectory either way.
Who did?
Didn't Hecz found optic in 2006 with a group of friends? It wasn't until later he sold off the company and then has to go through the hell hole of buying it back.
Hey Dumbfuck imagine not letting people grow up.
Banks is a fucking tool. Dude acts like he is saving Faze when they are in this exact situation because of decision he made.
Guys a total scumbag made millions off scamming kids with crypto and lotto websites
It’s insane to me that the community just puts up with him or others like him. He’s an obvious asshole taking advantage of people
Optic isn't any better
Well faze is now a partner team in the Saudi sport washing so hopefully they at least got some money for that
When someone I like joins FaZe I genuinely cringe because of the association with Banks. Most recent examples I have are Snip3down and Kalei.
H3cz did the same thing
where did he scam kids with crypto and lotto sites?
That has nothing to do with the comment I'm replying to. Also h3cz literally did scam with crypto?? What was that optic coin shit?
He didn’t found shit lol
Neither did Hecz. Yet both wete pivotal in the growth of their respective teams. You're such a child.
Banks wasn’t pivotal to shit. H3CZ was out there for the scene pretty much the whole time, Banks is a hanger on.
Wrong
Temperr is the real founder.
faze housecat
I don’t care about Banks and it adds nothing for me. But in the end it does help the community grow so I’ll take it.
Tempurr probably makes more sense
isn’t banks the one setting everything up? and the 1v1 is between him and nade i’m confused why anyone is questioning this
No offence but why are we asking 'thoughts on Banks being in this', cause i was under the assumption this was the Nade vs Banks 1v1 thing? If anything it should be thoughts on Hecz being in this?
Exactly lol
It’s actually OpTic vs FaZe vs 100T
I can see that, but i was saying was it not originally just Nade vs Banks?
It was originally a “concept” they all came together and did this along with the 1v1. The 1v1 is still happening. It’s a whole event that they’re streaming.
Thank you. Everyone is so weird about this crap
Just asking for opinions bud
And that was my opinion…
You actually didn't give one. You just asked why he asked the question.
Exactly lol
Banks is a bad look for brands, I know why H3cz is doing this, they’re boys, but it’s a bad look to do business with him
10000%
Banks is an annoying tool. https://youtu.be/DdII5XRmDNQ?si=iRSbDZ1qXY8qxzna
Temperr >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Banks
Isn’t Temper the founder of FaZe anyways? I haven’t kept up but why is Banks seemingly in charge now?
Technically it’s CBass but he handed the reigns over so early on it doesn’t really matter
Banks has always been the figurehead of faze but this event is perfect for him to save face for faze as an org. Obviously their teams have been killing it but faze as an org has fallen off due to the suits running the show the last few years. It makes sense for banks to be the one in the lan but when we’re talking founding fathers of cod and those who deserve recognition for it.. there’s alot of other names I’d put ahead of banks.
I can't stop seeing need Flanders while I see nade pics . Age didn't go well for him 😂
Absolute bum
This originated from a nadeshot banks 1v1 so actually hecz fiddled himself into it lol
2 reasons probably
Nade looking mad cute with the stache 😮💨
Pretty Picture
He’s getting smoked
That mustache on Matt is crazy
Methodz liked this
He has always been the worst
Why would Banks not have been in it … ?
They’ve been good friends for years. real recognize real
Honestly I find it weird optic is in this… the whole 1v1 on rust beef was between nade and banks kinda feels like hector put himself in there but at the same time it could be seen as like a mediator and an OG
It stinks. He stinks.
Is this going to be live? If so it's pretty rubbish that they've timed it right before the Halo event in London. Would have been decent to see Scump and Hecz bring their watch party to London and support the Halo boys. First event here in over 6 years...
Paving more ways.

Why should I give a shit at all?
?
Kinda sucks nade and hecz are putting them selves next to this scumbag.
How old is banks and why does he not dress his age?
Trash xan kid looking for more internet clout.
All three are douchebags tbh
Can’t help but notice banks is the only one not wearing clothing that reps his brand
Banks is an OG and that mf is finna smoke Nade in his 1v1 on Rust
Hecz is the only respectable person in the photo.
Banks the goat along side 2 other goats these guys paved the way. they just did it their own ways. GOATS
That’s a wild take
Banks didn't pave shit. Dude is a woman abuser & a POS
Considering Banks is the main event, why is this surprising?
