After a long litigation process, former Fortnite pro player Turner “Tfue” Tenney and esports organisation FaZe Clan confirmed they have reached an out-of-court settlement, according to Forbes<\/a>, an action brought after Tfue claimed the esport organisation was exploiting his image and locking him into a one-sided contract.<\/p>\n

“Faze and Turner Tenney are pleased to announce they have resolved their disputes and settled their litigations. The parties wish one another the best of luck in future endeavours,” the statement reads.<\/p>\n

FaZe and Tfue joined forces in April 2018, in agreement that allegedly allowed the organisation to take up to 80% of the player’s income, and prevented him from doing acquiring sponsorships without permission from FaZe. On top of this, the lawsuit also claimed that Tfue was forced to drink while underage, as well as perform dangerous stunts on behalf of the organisation.<\/p>\n

He would make all these concerns public in a video posted soon after the news broke, calling it a “bullsh*t” contract that felt exploitative, taking advantage of him as a public figure. <\/p>\n
