Gaming and esports organization FaZe Clan has six new members after a months-long open recruitment challenge that drew more than 211,000 applicants from around the world.
The challenge launched in September, and was open to everyone with no limits, FaZe Clan owner FaZe Apex said in an announcement video. Unlike most of the organization’s earlier drives, he explained, this latest one was “not based on Call of Duty, it’s not based on just Fortnite, it’s not based on just gaming.”
“It’s open to anybody in the world, basically, who wants to get a chance to do this,” he said. “There’s no age limit. There’s nothing that can limit anybody watching this video from trying out for FaZe.”
Despite the apparent call for diverse applicants, all six of FaZe’s new members are gaming content creators, and all six are men. FaZe Clan currently has more than 70 members, and all of them are male.
New members include:
FaZe Scope was a surprise sixth joiner from the challenge, which was only supposed to bring in five new creators. FaZe decided to bring him in because of the “intense competition” for spots, it says.
In addition to becoming full-fledged members of FaZe Clan, each of the six newbies won $20,000 and a sponsorship deal with the organization’s primary sponsor, energy drink brand G FUEL. FaZe Faxuty also won a custom Nissan Kicks SUV.
