If you grew up as an enthusiastic gamer in the 2010s, tuned into internet culture and social media, you’ve probably heard of the gaming troupe, FaZe Clan. Since its humble beginnings in 2010, this group of misfit internet kids with nothing but a handheld camera and a burning love for video games have created one of the most impactful and influential gaming organizations in the world.
With a following of over 340 million loyal supporters and FaZe Clan hopefuls, they’ve disrupted the gaming industry forever and have played a massive role in the culture and monetization of competitive gaming. FaZe has helped turn what was once an afterthought and waste of time into a viable career option. Much to parents’ dismay, it’ll be a lot harder for them to ground their kids for pulling video game all-nighters when you can get away with calling it work!
With a league of over 80 people comprised of professional gamers, content creators, athletes, and esports players, the nature of gaming and fan engagement is forever changed. Today, let’s look at some of the youngest members that make up this elite gaming unit taking the world by storm.

You can even find him putting his body on the line for our entertainment, taking punches from some of the world’s best boxers like Ryan Garcia. If that isn’t enough, you can attach an IMDB credit to his name, thanks to his debut in the 2020 feature film Crimson, where he plays himself.

Under the guidance and watchful eye of the FaZe organization, fans are getting a chance to see this young member cultivate and sharpen his skills every day, reaching new heights in the community while dominating some of the world’s best, particularly in Fortnite.
However, a sudden surge in popularity doesn’t come without its pitfalls and controversies, of which there was a swirl. FaZe clan came under fire when it was discovered that Patrick had actually become a member of the group at just 11-years-old, breaking the age rules set forth by platforms like Twitch, which have the age limit at 13. His Twitch channel was banned along with his Twitter on June 5, 2019. One day later, he uploaded a video admitting to lying about his age in order to pursue his dreams of becoming a professional gamer. A lawsuit filed by another popular streamer, Tfue, claimed that FaZe illegally signed the young prodigy at 11, which was confirmed.
Did You Know?
FaZe H1ghSky1’s parents helped him lie about his age, understanding that professional gaming is a realistic career choice for the blossoming internet star. Because he was so young, his parents were always seen on his streams due to a new YouTube policy that bans any child from streaming without adult supervision. He now has over 2 million subscribers!
