FAZE THE F@#K UP!
Inked|2021 Holiday Issue
FAZE CLAN HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT BREAKING THE RULES, NO MATTER WHAT THEY’RE DOING. IN THIS CONVERSATION LED BY DJ SCHEME, YOU’LL LEARN HOW FAZE TEMPERRR AND FAZE ADAPT WENT FROM RECORDING VIDEOS IN THEIR BASEMENT TO REACHING THE VERY TOP OF THE GAMING WORLD.
FAZE THE F@#K UP!
Back in the day you had to travel to the arcade and continuously pump quarters into a Galaga machine to get your gaming fix. These days, the best gamers don’t spend their money playing video games—they play video games to make their living. And we’re talking about a hell of a lot more than quarters here.

FaZe Clan started out as a group of gamers who bonded online over their love of Call of Duty, and it has since grown into a massive entertainment empire. In just about a decade they have made the leap from sharing montage videos on YouTube with a mere 4,000 subscribers to being a company worth over $300 million.

Gamers aren’t the nerds stereotypes may lead you to believe—they’re fashionable, inked-up people who wouldn’t look out of place grabbing bottle service at a club. In order to get behind the curtain and see what makes FaZe Clan tick, we were the fly on the wall as two of the OGs—FaZe Temperrr and FaZe Adapt—talked all things gaming, tattoos and more with their friend and fellow gamer DJ Scheme. Enjoy.

Inked: Let’s get the simple stuff out of the way first. How do you all know each other?

FaZe Temperrr: We met on Bumble. (Laughs) Honestly, how did we first connect? I think it was you and Adapt, right?

DJ Scheme: Yeah, we met on Twitter.

FaZe Adapt: We met and he was like, let’s play Fortnite. We played Fortnite and talked a little bit online. Then when he came to LA, like, a couple months later, he pulled up on me and we played basketball. Then I brought him over to the crib and introduced him to the rest of the guys. From there we pretty much have been solid since.
