After losing CEO Lee Trink, Faze Clan is getting acquired by Jerry Jones-backed company Gamesquare via an all-stock transaction. The esports companies will place founder Richard “Faze Banks” Bengtson as CEO.

Gaming analytics and esports brand company Gamesquare, which counts Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones as one of its investors, is acquiring the struggling gaming influencer group Faze Clan. The all-stock deal is worth about $17 million, Bloomberg reports, a steep drop-off from Faze’s $725-million valuation at the time of its special purpose acquisition company, SPAC, merger in July of 2022.

Last month, Faze Clan’s troubles reached an inflection point that led to the firing of CEO Lee Trink, who once compared the company to the rise of hip-hop during an interview on The Vergecast. Now, under the umbrella of Gamesquare, Faze Clan leadership is reverting back to its original founders, including Richard “Faze Banks” Bengtson, who will serve as CEO, Thomas “Faze Temperrr” Oliveira, taking place as president, and Yousef “Faze Apex” Abdelfattah, who takes over as COO.
