'''FaZe Clan''', or simply '''FaZe''', is a professional [[eSports|esports]] and [[entertainment]] organization headquartered in [[Los Angeles]], [[California]], United States. Founded on May 30, 2010, as '''FaZe Sniping''', the organization has players from around the world, across multiple games, including ''[[Call of Duty]]'', ''[[Counter-Strike 2]]'', ''[[PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds]]'', ''[[Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege]]'', ''[[Halo Infinite]],'' ''[[Valorant]]'', ''[[Fortnite Battle Royale]],'' ''[[Rocket League]],'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros.
