FaZe Clan
Season 1 Episode 17
Scott sits with Richard “Banks” Bengston and Thomas “Temperrr” Oliveira, two of the most prominent figures in the Esports industry and founders of FaZe Clan. First, they outline the history of Esports and how they got involved. They share how their passion for video games grew from Nintendo and Mario games. Temperrr found an early love for Halo and Xbox, while Banks didn’t start to play until his sophomore year of high school. From there, Banks followed his interest in Call of Duty and published a “how to” video on YouTube about Xbox that went viral. Banks figured out how to monetize his videos at age 17, Temperrr started to monetize at age 18, and their full-time pursuits began. Banks and Temperrr chat about how they met, how viral videos helped them grow, and how much money you can make in creating content and in Esports. Finally, they touch base on merch collaborations with Champion as well as their own line. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers
