A Respectful Farewell

In his post, Nickmercs emphasized that his decision to leave was not due to any disagreements or conflicts with FaZe Clan but rather a personal choice to explore new opportunities. He also took the time to thank notable FaZe members, including Banks, Tommy, Rug, and Apex, for the memories and camaraderie shared over the years.

“I wanna let y’all know that we are no longer with FaZe Clan,” he wrote. “No issues with them whatsoever, it’s just that time to move forward. Y’all know I gotta lot of love for Banks, Tommy, Rug, Apex etc & wish them & the boys all the best. Beyond grateful for the memories & achievements we had together.”

FaZe Clan responded to Nickmercs’ departure with equal respect, praising him for his contributions during challenging times for the organization. In a statement, FaZe highlighted their mutual understanding of the decision: “We clicked almost immediately and always felt like you were truly one of the boys. ‘Cut from the same cloth,’ if you will. You repped this FaZe sh*t and rode through the absolute worst period of its existence. F**king love you.”
