In eSports, the Fortnite star player and Twitch streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney wants to leave his clan and has even filed a lawsuit for it. This particularly hits one of the clan leaders, FaZe Banks, hard. The lawsuit seems to have thrown him off course.
This is the situation: The streamer Tfue (21) signed a contract with the eSports organization FaZe in April 2018. The contract allegedly secures him $2000 a month but binds him to the organization until the end of 2021 and includes many clauses that assign FaZe a portion of Tfue’s earnings.
Tfue was still a relatively small name in April 2018, but with his entry into FaZe, his rise began. He is now one of the biggest streamers in the world on Twitch, has built a huge fan base and is considered one of the best players in the world in the highly popular shooter Fortnite.
Tfue wants out of the contract and has even filed a lawsuit for it.
Banks has “Code Tfue” tattooed on his leg
This is how FaZe Banks sees his relationship with Tfue: One of the clan leaders, Ricky “Banks” Banks (27), sees himself as a supporter, friend, and mentor to Tfue. He apparently takes the lawsuit against FaZe extremely personally.
After all, Banks even had Tfue’s name tattooed on his leg.
“Can you imagine how stupid I feel right now?” said Banks in an initial emotional video.
In Banks’ view, he made it possible for Tfue, discovered him on Twitch when hardly anyone knew him, then got him a strong duo partner for Fortnite in Cloak and built him up.
He was also the one who recruited Tfue personally for FaZe.
This is how Banks sees the current situation: Banks now shows himself bitterly disappointed that Tfue does not seek a conversation with him but only wants to talk through lawyers.
How torn Banks’ feelings are becomes evident in a series of tweets. Banks says,
- that what Tfue is doing is just manipulative show.
- Banks himself pours out his heart and speaks the truth. His team hates him for it, but he has no strategy, no lawyer, no script; he is not a robot, but a real person.
Turner is a selfish jerk who doesn’t care about anything except himself.
But “Listen, you little jerk Tfue. I still love you to death.”
Banks seems to long for things to go back to the way they were. And for them to sit down and talk about everything.
Tfue should bring whoever he wants to the meeting – Banks will come alone.
Meanwhile, there are new developments that say Fortnite star Tfue is planning his own eSport organization:
