There is no denying that the situation involving superstar Fortnite Twitch streamer and YouTuber Turner "Tfue" Tenney suing FaZe Clan has been one of the most discussed topics in the entertainment world over the past day. With Tfue and FaZe Clan both offering compelling sides to the lawsuit situation that the two parties are both now involved in, many members of the gaming community have begun to offer their own takes on the situation as a whole. This was the case during a recent Twitch stream of high-profile content creator Tyler "Ninja" Belvins where the streamer explained that the popularity and influence that FaZe Clan and one of its owners in Ricky "Banks" Banks, who has been very outspoken about the lawsuit situation, command helped Tfue dramatically when it came to the talented Fortnite player becoming one of the most well-known content creators and competitors in the industry.
While discussing the lawsuit situation between Tfue and FaZe Clan, Ninja explained to his viewers that the level of clout or influence that a player can obtain and benefit from by joining the organization is at an extremely high level. This, in turn, led to Ninja stating that one of the organization's owners in Banks is a prime example of the clout that the esports entity possesses and eventually even led to Ninja stating that Banks is "King Clout".
"I don't think you guys understand. I really don't. FaZe trickshotters, FaZe YouTubers, dude their YouTube slaps. Their tweets, their impressions, they bang. Just look at Banks' Twitter, ok. He'll go weeks without tweeting, tweet something, and it'll get like 100,000 favorites man," said Ninja. "Like he's got, clout dude. That whole organization is nutty, ok. When you sign with them, like dude, that one hundred percent skyrocketed Turner. Banks is king clout. He really is. There is so much clout when you sign with FaZe. It's unbelievable."
While Ninja did explain how the influence that FaZe Clan and Banks possess was instrumental in the rise of Tfue into becoming one of the most popular content creators on Twitch and YouTube, the high-profile personality went on to explain that the community should not hate on either Tfue or FaZe Clan, as not all of the facts have yet been officially revealed.
With Banks having been the member of FaZe Clan who pushed to have the organization's Fortnite roster play with Tfue before he was signed to the team following the departure of Thomas "72hrs" Mulligan, the FaZe Clan Owner has taken the lawsuit from the player very personally which is evident in an interview Banks conducted with DramaAlert host and YouTuber Daniel "KEEMSTAR" Keem where Banks explained how he helped Tfue begin his rise into stardom.
