FaZe Clan has suffered a major setback as their long-standing member, Pamaj, has announced his departure. This unfortunate news comes amidst a string of challenges faced by the organization, including the possibility of being delisted from the Nasdaq stock exchange. Pamaj, also known as Austin Pamajewon, is a popular YouTube gamer and content creator with a massive following of over 3.2 million subscribers. He is highly regarded for his engaging gameplay videos featuring popular titles like Call of Duty and Fortnite. Pamaj initially joined FaZe Clan in 2012, left in 2013, and then rejoined the organization in October 2018.
In a candid YouTube video posted on June 14, Pamaj revealed his departure from FaZe Clan and acknowledged that it wasn't an easy decision. He expressed gratitude to the organization for providing him with a home, but emphasized that things were not going well within the clan and team, as many of his viewers had noticed. Pamaj also shared that he no longer felt the same connection with the eSports group as when he initially joined, which ultimately influenced his decision. Alongside Pamaj, another prominent streamer, Talal Almalki (known as Virus), recently parted ways with FaZe Clan. In a public statement made in January, Virus cited mistreatment by the organization during his tenure and expressed dissatisfaction with FaZe's lack of openness to his ideas.
The signing of Grace Van Dien, a popular Stranger Things star, by FaZe Clan garnered significant attention. However, the process was not without its challenges, with the actress expressing her desire to leave the organization just days after joining. These issues underscore the difficulties faced by FaZe Clan and emphasize the pressing need for them to address and resolve them swiftly.
