Another FaZe streamer leaves as Jev speaks out amid rebrand
While much of FaZe Clan’s streamer roster reshuffled in public, Jev originally remained silent, raising questions among fans and followers. That silence has now ended, as he addresses his status in FaZe amid an apparent rebrand for the organization in flux.
On December 25, FaZe Clan content creators began leaving the organization in quick succession, with posts reading “left FaZe” appearing one after another across social media. That same day, five creators publicly confirmed their departures followed shortly after by YourRage, Kaysan, and Scope. While most of the exits were announced through elaborate YouTube videos or posts on X, one longtime member remained noticeably silent, leaving fans to speculate that his situation might be different.
After a week of silence, Jev confirmed that he is no longer part of FaZe Clan, stating that you can’t leave “a team that doesn’t exist.”
Who’s still in FaZe Clan?
ZooMaa is the lone remaining streamer and content creator still carrying FaZe Clan in his username and bio, with the other 12 members having left the organization, though FaZe still hosts multiple esports teams.
All streaming members had announced their departures except for Jev, who is also one of the most tenured FaZe Members, joining the organization back in 2015, when he had barely a million followers. He was popular for his Call of Duty content and for his consistent YouTube videos about the game. With fans first assuming that he’d stick around due to his silence, Jev went live to announce that he can’t stay in an organization “that doesn’t exist,” confirming his departure.
“You can’t leave a team that is literally over, it doesn’t exist.. it’s kind of perfect how it ended.. a whole lot of people have beef with each other involving money,” Jev said. “And the whole time in FaZe I never saw a contract.”
Jev also said that, in addition to his not having a contract, FaZe never asked him for a percentage cut at any point during his time with the organization. Since this had been a common assumption behind the recent departures, his comments pushed back on the idea that revenue sharing was the driving factor behind the FaZe content creator departures.
With Jev’s exit, every content creator has now left FaZe Clan, with the exception of ZooMaa. However, ZooMaa later stated on his own stream that the esports side of FaZe remains unaffected by the recent changes.
Here are all the creators that have left FaZe Clan:
- Adapt
- Jason
- Jev
- Kaysan
- Lacy
- Rage
- Replays
- StableRonldo
- Rug
- Scope
- Silky
- Swagg
With Jev leaving, FaZe is now fully esports-focused, something that the organization also confirmed on X.
“FaZe eSports has always operated as a separate entity; nothing on that side will change. Rather, it will become our main focus moving forward,” the FaZe organization said.

FaZe also shared several rebrand concepts on X, showcasing different logo designs and color schemes. The posts appeared to signal that, despite the recent wave of creator departures, the organization does not view the exodus as the end of FaZe but rather a new beginning as it sets about exploring its next direction.
