The FaZe Clan drama is at the epitome of internal struggle. The popular eSports organization has been running a rough patch for a while now. But what is more devastating for the fans is the ongoing passive civil war between the OG members of the clan and its other members. Long-time members like Rain have been quite vocal against the management and were also pointing out ‘concerned’ signings.
Now, FaZe Santana, a member of FaZe Clan’s Nuke Squad, came forward taunting the haters who have been criticizing the organization for signing Grace Van Dien. The now-deleted post also was considered a dig against the OG members who apparently are ‘absent’ from the Clan activities.

Ever since the downfall started for FaZe Clan, founding members like Rain has been pointing out the problems that lay within the management. To add to his arguments, he recently was calling out the clan for its ‘celebrity signing’, which sort of was going against the org’s brotherhood concepts. The heat was building up against these signings, and this made Santana lash out with a tweet.
FaZe Santana came out calling the haters who were against the signing of the popular Stranger Things actress Grace, who now is a full-time streamer. The post itself was not that much debate invoking. It seemed like he was giving out a call in a broader sense to the online banters that were happening. But the Tweet that followed was noteworthy.
U were never an og faze member ur say is bias and irrelevant

A comment pointed out to Santana that he was never an OG FaZe Clan member. To this, he replied, ” Where they at right now?”. This particular reply in the deleted tweet ignited a whole series of debates. The first person to reply to him was none other than FaZe Rain. He questioned Satana, asking him, ” Are you f*****g dumb?’ To back Rain, Censor jumped in. But Satanta had a strong taunt against the popular Call of Duty player.
Bro he did the same shit w me too 😂

FaZe Clan member Satana mocked Censor by pointing out his recent scrims. This infuriated Censor, who gave a savage reply highlighting his achievements throughout his career.
Yeah, I’ve also dropped 5 in a match, 7 in a pickup game too! But, I’ve also won the first 2 ever championships for FaZe, and 2 more outside of FaZe. What was your contribution to FaZe that makes you feel you can disrespect the people who paved the way for you to make a career?

The next OG FaZe Clan member in line was Banks, who talked about how the current organizational heads are juicing up the FaZe name for money. He stated that the name FaZe has some value only because he and his OG members strived to create it. He ended by stating that the OG group is the only one that is interested in preserving the history of the clan.
Not participating in the sell-out, clown show that FaZe Clan has become. Not sure what these takes say about you, but the name FaZe only has any sliver of meaning left because of what we built and you're using it. This is the problem, you're all just here to squeeze every last…

That's what's so funny about his response "Where are they now?", considering we're all working around the clock to just get this back under control, with competent partners. There's no universe where FaZe exists without us, it's inevitable the boomerang lands back in our laps.

FaZe Clan member Apex also joined in to question Santana’s Tweet. Later in his stream Santana again came out lashing at the founding members, and how they are not actually present to support the organization at these dire times. He indicated that none of them were supporting the eSports squads at the moment, whereas members who came after them were.

He also indicated that when a meeting was held around six months ago, none of the FaZe Clan OG members showed up. All these interactions have created immense tension within the clan. Later, the Nuke Squad member put out a tweet apologizing to the OG members.
