FaZe Clan Hit by Major Exits as Stable Ronaldo, Silky, Lacy and JasonTheWeen Leave

FaZe Clan is facing one of the most turbulent moments in its 15-year history after a wave of high-profile departures stripped the organisation of much of its modern content backbone.

Spotted on X on 26 December 2025, several of its most recognisable creators simultaneously announced they had left the group, fuelling speculation about deeper structural problems behind the scenes.

In near-identical social media posts reading 'Left @FaZeClan', creators Stable Ronaldo, JasonTheWeen, Silky and Lacy confirmed their exits, alongside longtime member FaZe Adapt.

The move leaves only YourRAGE and Kaysan remaining from what was once a seven-person core roster that powered FaZe's daily streaming dominance.

The departures come amid mounting scrutiny of FaZe Clan's corporate direction following its 2023 acquisition by GameSquare. With former chief executive FaZe Banks having stepped away from leadership four months ago, fans and industry observers alike are questioning whether the pioneering brand has lost touch with the creator-first culture that made it famous.

From Trickshotters To Global Brand

Founded in 2010 by Call of Duty trickshotters, FaZe Clan grew from a niche YouTube group into one of the most recognisable names in esports and online entertainment. The introduction of the FaZe House model, which involved lavish shared mansions doubling as content factories, helped redefine influencer culture during the 2010s.

At its peak, FaZe blurred the line between gaming, fashion and mainstream celebrity. Collaborations with major sports leagues and the signing of figures such as Snoop Dogg positioned the organisation as more than just an esports team. However, critics argue that the same expansion diluted the grassroots appeal that once attracted hungry creators.

The Members That Walked Out The Door

The loss of Stable Ronaldo, JasonTheWeen, Lacy and Silky represents more than just brand damage; it is a significant blow to FaZe's viewership. Over the past 18 months, this group accounted for a majority of the organisation's live-streaming traffic, often drawing tens of thousands of concurrent viewers.

JasonTheWeen alone regularly generated millions of hours of watch time, making him one of FaZe's most commercially valuable personalities. Industry estimates suggest the departing creators collectively represented over 60% of FaZe Clan's active live-stream audience, a gap that will not be easily filled.

While FaZe still boasts elite competitive teams, particularly in Counter-Strike 2, featuring stars like karrigan and EliGE, esports success does not automatically translate into lifestyle relevance. That bridge was built mainly by the content creators who are now gone.

What Happens Next for FaZe And Its Creators?

Speculation is rife that the departing members could form a new creator-led collective, free from shareholder pressure and traditional contracts. In today's creator economy, audiences follow personalities rather than logos, giving established streamers unprecedented leverage.

For FaZe Clan, the challenge is existential. The brand has survived roster changes before, but losing the heart of its daily content operation in one sweep marks a different kind of test. Whether through aggressive recruitment or a strategic reset, FaZe must now prove it can still evolve in a landscape increasingly shaped by independent creators.

One thing is clear: as 2026 approaches, the traditional gaming organisation model is under pressure, and FaZe Clan's next chapter may determine whether legacy brands can still thrive in a people-first internet economy.
