FaZe to be acquired by Complexity parent company GameSquare

20-10-2023 14:50

The acquisition could create a number of potential conflict of interest issues for the two organizations fielding teams in Counter-Strike.

Update 2: ESL has provided the following statement on the matter to HLTV:

"We are aware of the acquisition of FaZe Clan by GameSquare and are examining the potential implications this may have on (their participation in) our tournaments and our business relations. If the outcomes of this review lead to any updates, then we will announce those in due course."

Update: Valve has responded to HLTV's request for comment, confirming the company's stance against any existing conflict of interest in its competitions.

It also stated that it will be required to comply with the rule outlined below at "all ranked events" starting from 2025, when Valve's new rules for running large-scale tournaments go into effect as part of the company's effort to create an open ecosystem.

After facing financial struggles in the aftermath of a disastrous public listing, the company behind the FaZe Clan brand and its various esports teams, including the world's No. 7 Counter-Strike team, has found a way to stay afloat.

Its board has agreed on an acquisition by GameSquare, a Texas-based esports holding backed by the NFL franchise Dallas Cowboys, in a deal that is expected to close before the end of the year.

This was revealed in the two companies' shared announcement on Friday, which also outlined several changes that will see FaZe Clan founders Richard "Banks" Bengtson, Thomas "Temperrr" Oliveira, and Yousef "Apex" Abdelfattah return to leading positions in the brand.

With the move, FaZe will enter into shared ownership with another esports team also on GameSquare's portfolio: Complexity.

This raises a number of potential conflict of interest issues. The two teams regularly compete alongside one another in top Counter-Strike tournaments and are both partnered with ESL and BLAST, the game's two biggest tournament organizers.

ESL currently does not allow one organization to field multiple teams in the same competition, as per section 2.11.3.1 "Multiple teams" of ESL Pro Tour's general rules for Counter-Strike, but it is unclear whether this also applies to separate entities with shared ownership.

It could also become problematic when it comes to the two teams' ability to compete in Counter-Strike Majors and their qualifying events. Valve holds a stance against any shared financial interest in their tournaments, as described in an extract from the official Counter-Strike Major rulebook:

2. Conflicts of Interest

2.1 Teams and players should not have any financial interest in the success of any team that they are competing against. To participate in this Tournament, players and teams are required to affirm that they have no conflict of interest (including any business entanglement such as shared management, shared ownership of entities, licensing, and loans) with any other participating team or its players.

HLTV has reached out to FaZe, Complexity, ESL, BLAST, and Valve for comment.

+1, sadly seems both as both teams are showing recent achievement

we'll see what happens but even if the realistic option is to let one of the rosters go, realistically every party involved in this will instead go find a way to let both teams exist since both have arguments for not wanting to let their rosters go. coL now has a 20 year long history in the game which is where the org was born from and Jason Lake likely isn't willing to leave. On the other hand, FaZe is a larger brand and not only is their CS team basically their most valuable asset in CS, they've also achieved far more than coL has. And likely want to continue as well. it's a complete mess but it's just the unfortunate truth since it's highly doubtful either is willing to let their rosters go. It could be compared to the CLG acquisition by NRG or Envy to OpTic but this is technically far from it. Nada.

a lot of the complexity boys used to play for them in the past. will be interesting to see how this goes

2023-10-21 20:22

Even though FaZe has way less chances at winning lmao

Use the brain you got, its free..

2023-10-20 16:27

why would faze skip tournaments? they gonna pay massive amount of money so they can sit aside? think

2023-10-20 16:37

wow you should really switch to NA flag, although even they got it if someone is getting dropped it's CoL, otherwise why would they buy Faze in the first place.

Lol?! Everybody on faze is worth more then your and your moms house

2023-10-21 07:55

Please, conflict of interest has never really been taken seriously in CS and never will. Doesn't even matter if there is explicit rules against it, this game is a joke.

2023-10-20 19:39

Thanks for your input on the matter, very insightful

unlucko for NA if they cant figure it out

2023-10-20 14:51

Noooo

Conflict of interest galore

All parties in coL and FaZe may attempt to find a loophole that allows both coL and FaZe’s CS teams to exist. Mainly because their teams are basically both of the orgs most valuable assets in esports. They could have GameSquare let go of coL as its parent company and have it directly under Jerry Jones/ The Dallas Cowboys. If that even remotely makes any sense. Just rambling since I can’t see either wanting to drop their teams. And it’ll be coL dropping it if they had to choose due to FaZe’s bigger brand.

28 replies

Idk if that would work with Valve and ESL. There was much more minor conflicts of interest in the past and it was still problem.

2023-10-20 14:59

15 replies

Well both orgs will likely want to keep their CS teams, both are too highly valuable to them. Especially FaZe’s. So they’ll likely want to find a way somehow.

2023-10-20 15:05

Fallen and Co (iirc mibr at this time) were literally allowed to play against a team they fucking owned in RMR events, all companies involved are morally bankrupt enough to let it happen as long as the backlash is minimal

2023-10-20 15:11

13 replies

Well wasnt it like dead’s (mibr’s manager) wife owned that other team or was CEO? Basically the same if the cowboys owned coL and that other entity owned FaZe. We’ll see what happens tho

2023-10-20 15:22

I know this is a completely different league, but didn’t dazed own or have some sort of interest in netcodeguides? and they obviously played against each other

2023-10-20 15:27

we all know how that went 💀

2023-10-20 18:32

lol yeah, but they seemingly were allowed to play against each other. but that was also a long time ago, and probably they made rules because of that lol

2023-10-20 23:47

acfually right after they had to literally disband the org (Yeah Gaming) and the team because of conflicts of interest and the backlash of it

2023-10-20 15:49

2023-10-23 09:04

What the fuck does that mean

2023-10-23 15:25

They were allowed to play back then at that one tournament, but were forced to sell them after. Same as the others in similiar situation. Even lurppis, that was in the management of Immortals and shareholder in ENCE was forced to leave Immortals. Or when that company that owned Virtus.pro, SK Gaming and NAVI was forced to sold the teams and they only own VP now. Or when one company owned Heroic, Astralis and BLAST etc. etc.

2023-10-20 16:42

Yup. Before the match (April 2020), it seemed teams had to only disclose conflicts of interest, not resolve them. And then in June, Valve said they need to resolve it in order to participate. But looking at Yeahs Liquipedia, it seems they all actually left the org in March 2021 when it disbanded. Maybe the didnt leave until later because they were able to smooth talk Valve? Maybe its because neither team was playing in the next RMR event so theres no reason to leave if neither are playing? Maybe its because the Rio Major was fully canceled later, so why leave your owned org in order to play in a Major that isnt happening? idk, Im tired and this is all just surface level research sources: hltv.org/news/29509/mibr-yeah-to-compete.. hltv.org/news/29782/seven-teams-handed-u.. hltv.org/news/29879/yeah-in-talks-with-o.. liquipedia.net/counterstrike/Yeah_Gaming

2023-10-20 23:46

YeaH i think was the team? And out of curiosity, did Elige have to sell his fraction of a percent of ownership of liquid now that he is playing for coL? So many players own tiny tiny fractions of orgs they used to play for.

2023-10-22 11:08

There is no loophole available, none of the options you provided would resolve the conflict by the Valve rules. Their only option is to either drop one of the teams completely from CS or "choose" which one will play for every event they qualify.

2023-10-20 15:10

considering both orgs's CS teams are basically their most valuable asset in esports, I don't think either are going to be willing to drop their roster. They'll likely definitely attempt to find something that'll allow both teams to exist.

2023-10-20 15:17

I agree they will try to find something, but I don't think there's any way out of this, let's see how it pans out. Sure teams are not willing to drop their rosters, but I don't think it's something they have a saying, GameSquare 100% knew about the conflict before setting the deal, so they are aware of the consequences.

yeah we'll see what happens, but I still think all parties involved in this will try to find a way between now and when FaZe's acquisition is complete since even if they probably don't have a saying in this, both orgs still have arguments of not wanting to let their rosters go and will work it out.

2023-10-20 15:53

hoping for the best, the pro scene will lose if one of these rosters goes away or gets broken apart, they are looking good at least at the beginning of CS2

2023-10-20 15:56

ye ofc, It'll obviously take a while but I think we can be confident that the parties involved will find a way, since I like I said, both orgs have arguments of not wanting to let their rosters go.

2023-10-20 15:57

Exactly they would definitely find a way to let both participate in events. I mean valve and other organizations that hold the events are ones who wrote the rules so obviously they can change it themselves. Money is Everything in this industry so its hard to believe they wouldn’t allow 2 of the biggest orgs/teams in game participate at the same time because of their mutual ownership:)

2023-10-20 15:59

nah, Valve is going to be stern in this. It'll be FaZe and CoL finding a way to make it that they can both exist in CS. With maybe ESL and BLAST somewhat aiding them.

2023-10-20 16:05

To this day i still believe that Valve paid ESIC to silence the whole cheating accusations about the Heroic incident (technically burn all the evidence for good) Im tryna say that they would do anything to get over with this one too no matter what Legal or illegal, fair or not they would definitely do something about it

2023-10-20 20:34

You can believe what you want lol. But the fact is that Valve forced Yeah org to disband because it was owned by players of other teams. And there were similiar situations like this, which all ended by either selling the orgs (ESForce, BLAST), or keeping only a single team (Immortals).

2023-10-20 22:57

Yeah valve will force FaZe or complexity to disband!!!! Also: #107 the 3rd paragraph

2023-10-21 09:20

Dak Prescott the new IGL for coL and Micah will be the entry PogChamp

2023-10-20 17:29

Interesting.

Lol

started with the arab takeover of esl and faceit, there will be more stuff like this. soon most of the bigger teams will be owned by the same companies.

2023-10-20 14:52

Means that COL is not playing if they dont fix it.I like both teams so hopefully both will play

if one team's getting dropped it's for sure col. A shame since Jason Lake and the boys are starting to look like an actual top team

14 replies

+1 it’s unfortunate, but as an eagles fan it will be nice cheering for this team without them being backed by the cowboys

2023-10-20 14:56

idk man, really seems like this roster is gonna get dropped and left alone. Maybe an org like 100T comes and buys them, maybe EG buys them (Let's hope not)

2023-10-20 14:58

I pray to god eg leaves this roster alone they just started to do well after signing elige

2023-10-20 15:03

idk, feels like Col is the best NA org that doesnt scam it's players. Maybe M80? Flyquest? but both are major stretches.

2023-10-20 15:04

10 replies

Col is definitely the best after liquid jumped ship. I think m80 and nouns are good orgs, but nouns has people with questionable pasts

9 replies

Then there is no safe org unless NRG or 100T re-enters CS and buys out coL's roster. Which even then, I don't think Jason Lake wants to exit since CS is where coL was born from. And FaZe likely doesn't want to let go of their CS roster either.

2023-10-20 15:19

Yeah i doubt Jason lake wants to let this team go since he’s been involved in cs for 20 years. I don’t think buying faze was a good idea, surely cs isn’t the only game that has rules like this .

2023-10-20 15:26

The big thing to note is that Col actually doesnt have teams in a lot of other games. There are only a couple where Col and Faze overlap.

2023-10-20 17:17

The only other game I can think of off the top of my head where they overlap is rocket league, but I’m sure there are at least a couple others

2023-10-20 17:21

According to Liquipedia: Faze and Col are both active in Apex, but Col only has one player signed Both have Fifa teams but no one cares and a couple of Col's players just left Both have Halo and rocket League teams so there's a clear overlap for only those 2 games

2023-10-20 17:25

Liquid are a Dutch org anyway, they've just always had an NA CS team.

2023-10-20 15:21

an NL liquid employee told me a majority of their business is based in NA. Not only the old cs roster. source: trust me bro

2023-10-20 15:30

They have hosted a lot of NA teams in other esports as well and have offices around the world, so that doesn't surprise me. It's still a Dutch org though, as far as ownership goes.

I dont mean best as in a compeititve standpoint, I mean how the org treats it's players. C9 and EG for example, dont treat players great. 100T idk much about, but Col seems to treat the players really well

Holy shit

And it finally happened

So basically FaZe and COL can never compete in the same event?

6 replies

unless they find a way or a loophole that allows both teams to exist, then essentially yes. Meaning one of the rosters is getting dropped. And if they were forced to choose, we can kiss coL goodbye.

just make one of them a female team then they can play. like in that qualifier match xd

faze all now identify as female

2023-10-20 15:28

best idea ever, winning every single tournament for next 20 years without even sweating

2023-10-20 16:41

which one

2023-10-20 15:31

Ofc it would be col, why buy face and then drop it

2023-10-20 16:06

No way

-midky +goatzerk

Faze would never lose again

2023-10-20 17:22

midky? maybe in CSGO but in CS2 is one of a kind awper that can hit shots even with this peekers advantage regularly, even zywoo struggling but he does not

2023-10-21 02:09

It's alright bro we can have different opinions i still love you

2023-10-21 02:17

well, it's not about different opinions, it's about checking the stats... And broky is performing at least equally better than his "clutch" times, just check it p.s. check ur facts before talk, sorry love has nothing to do with this xd

2023-10-21 02:19

rl preparing the 3 hour video rn

Rip complexity cs or faze cs?

if they had to be forced to choose then it’s complexity getting dropped.

Faze has more clouts and fans so zero chance they will be dropped

You really think buying faze and then just drop the team is an option? Ofc it’s col you must be able to figure that out yourself?

2023-10-20 16:08

i think its very obvious

faze vs col iem sydney grand finals. losing team disbands

Or both if neither advances to the final.

2023-10-20 15:01

if i was falcons I’d drop the current roster and buy this one

2023-10-20 15:02

The timing OML

F for COL

faze-col sydney final?:O

all players banned xD

orgs* why ban the players? are they guilty of their management decisions?

2023-10-21 02:11

haha would be funny

Surely they wouldn't acquire Faze if it meant they could only have one of Faze and CoL competing in events. Doesn't make sense.

they will drop Col

if they were forced to choose, coL’s gone. FaZe has a bigger brand compared to coL. But I think the option is that all parties will find a way to let both teams exist. Especially on FaZe and CoL’s end.

2023-10-20 15:07

maybe in ESL and BLAST events, but I'm pretty sure Valve won't allow that.

2023-10-20 15:12

Same rule which forced heroic to split from astralis. It seems like everyone, including the author of the article, forgot about this.

2023-10-20 15:06

You must have not read the article.

What are you talking about? Literally 90% of the article was about how fielding the two teams simultaneously would be a conflict of interest.

2023-10-20 16:35

Don't worry, everyone will close eyes on this "small issue". This is eSports after all, where the rules can be changed to suit one's advantage, especially if we talk about "big orgs"

I would maybe agree if it were just EFG we were talking about, but Valve have taken a hard stance against this in the past and there is no indication that will change. See #46 as an example.

2023-10-20 15:15

I really hope they will force for some actions. Don't want my message above to be truth, tbh

Yeah, I mean you never really know with Valve, but is in their rulebook as outline in the article, so I image that they would at least expect their major partners to abide by that rule.

Valve will never allowed this kind of thing, remember that a few years ago rfrsh had to sell heroic because they also the owner of astralis at the time

I hope so. Also it feels great that Valve decided to get rid of that ESL Elite Club which plays every single tournament. We need more fairness and transparency in the scene.

Volvo rules are anoying about majors, they didn’t left Olof play on the sweedish mix that they have with f0rest, gtr on open qualifiers because he have a contract with faze, doubt they allow CoL and FaZe play the major

2023-10-21 01:39

I thought partner teams were irrelevant in cs2 Just 5 dudes and a coach and a clan tag

Not until 2025 as I recall.

woah jesus christ

2023-10-20 15:09

These 3 will just destroy FaZe again this isn't 2010 lol fuckin morons. I'd fire them all and just take full control so this disaster doesn't happen again.

BTW hltv, GameSquare the parent company to Complexity is based out of Toronto Canada, not Texas.

Big mistake, FaZe is going to pull OpTic Gaming.

2023-10-20 15:16

You would imagine CoL would keep current Faze roster and sell current roster...

I don't know, I prefer the Complexity brand myself, but the general consensus here seems to be that the FaZe brand is bigger and should be kept.

Faze lineup under CoL or are they turning a blind eye and ignore conflicts of interest??

2023-10-20 15:33

Conflict of interest is definitely the name of the game here There is 3 options realistically: - Drop the Complexity roster and quit CS - Drop the FaZe roster and quit CS (focus on content creation which is why FaZe are so famous to begin with) - Drop the Complexity roster and move FaZe players to that brand Either way one of the 2 orgs will have to stop operating within CS because I do not think they can co-exist belonging to the same parent company

2023-10-20 15:46

just purely in theory even if you own 1share you are co-owner so "shared ownership of entities" applies but it would be stupid TBH. But in other hand wheres the border? You can have less that 1%? 5%?

2023-10-20 15:55

that would be dumb af, I don't think that happened in reality

2023-10-21 08:29

Well, it's early to think what will happen, but as a fan of Complexity, it would really suck if they drop their cs team in favour of mantaining Faze's. I mean it makes more sense considering the actual level of the teams, but still...

faze 10 man roster?? or maybe combine and get twistzz and elige back together! :D

How does that work? How can the same people own 2 teams with the chance of them going up against eachother? Btw this could be the grand final

2023-10-20 16:48

imagine if FaZe CoL grand final... whoever wins the parent company wins anway

Yeah, imagine… kekw

2023-10-21 12:12

They should both be allowed to compete in the same tournaments, the conflict of interest rules are pointless. As long as: 1. The conflict is known/disclosed (done) 2. They have separate management teams independent of each other (done) 3. Nothing dodgy happens What do people honestly think is going to happen? If there are any throws it will be super obvious since everyone knows of the association between the teams, and it's not like that cant happen between teams that arent co-owned anyway. The same owners owning multiple teams that compete against each other is pretty common in the sports world (yes I know UEFA dont allow it in continental club competitions but it happens in other football competitions and in many other sports).

2023-10-20 16:51

Is this bait?

2023-10-20 17:23

3. Nothing dodgy happens, how do you measure this? can you tell me? like actual wtf means dodgy to u, the audience and the ones to judge

RIP COL on majors. Or maybe FaZeplexity: hallzerk ELiGE Karrigan Twistzz ropz

2023-10-20 17:12

I'm really surprised that when broky is performing his best in 1.5 years most of u say hallzerk when he literally has 0 majors/prizes and no chemistry with the main faze team, I suppose this forum is full of 12 years old with no knowledge about what a team is and that we're not in CSGO anymore also dropping rain is the worst decision u can make as he's the only player that was always in the team and missed literally 6 matches in like 10 years??

I thought col was owned by the cowboys?

2023-10-20 17:36

GameSquare became coL’s parent company in 2021 which Jason Lake is their head of esports in the company.

2023-10-20 17:56

Damn, just as col was actually finding consistency

2023-10-20 17:42

I am sure the creative US lawyers will find a way to make it work through some dodgy tax haven ....

2023-10-20 18:29

All hail the corrupt corporate elitists!

2023-10-20 20:30

Damn unfortunate timing when col is finally looking good

2023-10-20 19:14

If Jason Lake is pushed out of fielding a cs team for coL, don’t think I can support cs esports anymore. This dude has been in the scene since 1.6 and cares A LOT. It would be a massive mistake to pick the company run by moronic crypto scamming teenagers over a bastion of the cs scene. Whatever lines their pockets I guess

2023-10-20 19:52

Faze so poor, Complexity so rich. hahahaha

2023-10-21 00:20

I guess they would sell Col to someone else since dropping its CS team is like dropping the org, Faze is obviously the bigger brand and Col was born on CS. Unless they keep Col for CS and Faze for everything else, but it doesn't make much sense.

2023-10-21 00:35

Investors digging Faze out of the dumpsterfire they are in once again...

2023-10-21 00:52

Nothing is going to happen and anyone who thinks it will it's just plain stupid. The only thing that may happen in the future is that the parent company decides to dismiss CoL org, but it's not something that will happen in the near future.

2023-10-21 01:48

NA FaZe is real

2023-10-21 01:58

I can see FaZe's lineup being signed by some other organization soon.

2023-10-21 02:10

CoL has longer history since CS1.6 while FaZe is more famous in CSGO. How hard it is to choose which linage to inherit. Maybe Faze, as currect CoL lineage is from ATK-flashpoint C9-Extra Salt. whoever would leave, EliGe must stay.

2023-10-21 03:20

CoL might b legendary org in cs but they have no clout beyond that unlike faze which is known in almost every esport like PUBG, R6, CS

2023-10-21 04:32

while in other case, col might only wanna buy Faze's berth in other esports league, mostly COD, it's the event Faze started with. Remember Optic disbanded as Immortal bought Optic for its LCS berth.

2023-10-21 04:39

col has the NA market tho while faze cs is just another cs team

2023-10-21 06:43

Deep

2023-10-21 04:25

R.I.P. COMPLEXITY?.

2023-10-21 05:04

Current FaZe & CoL are pretty decent. I hope whichever is cut finds a good home.

2023-10-21 09:14

that sucks, i don't want to lose Col right as they're finally looking ok

2023-10-21 09:33

Faze and coL are too big to choose only one of the two to exist, they will make sure that either the rules change or they will find a workaround just like david beckham is doing with inter miami

2023-10-21 10:31

GAMESQUARE will get IEM sydney 2023 anyways lol

2023-10-21 12:08

not really as they didn't buy faze yet, if faze wins then its not their tournament

2023-10-21 13:45

well

2023-10-21 12:17

Winner of the tournament gets to keep their jobs

2023-10-21 12:46

2023-10-21 17:05

Time to sell complexity

2023-10-21 17:06

Even if coL lose tomorrow, they're gonna own FaZe either way.

2023-10-21 17:08

2023-10-21 17:34

one of the rosters is gonna get shided on for sure then, very unlucky for the players

2023-10-21 18:09

complexity disband nt

2023-10-22 13:19

Strictly a business move, & if any of you knew how to read, then you would know it states that there shall be no financial interest between the 2 teams. So CoL doesn't own FaZe & vice versa. Neither roster will disband & they will not fuse.

2023-10-22 19:02

Maybe they will let the teams attend every second tournament

2023-10-22 19:36

FaZeLeXity inc.

2023-10-23 09:51

lol

2023-10-23 20:35

LOL

2023-10-23 21:18

I hope this doesn't jeapordize coL's participation in tournaments. "Jake" has poured his heart and soul into this brand and they've been my favorite team since like 2004 ion gamers tournament. DirecTV tried to kill coL and now this...
