Transcripts
if you are watching this video then I
Lucas Blaze Blazin whatever you know me
as am no longer a part of fazeclan um
Tommy and Apex they called me yesterday
today is Friday when I'm making this
video I think Saturday tomorrow is the
day that I'm posting this video CU
that's when they said that they were
going to announce it but uh they called
me yesterday on Thursday and they put me
in a call we talked for about 15 minutes
and they let me know that I am no longer
a member of FaZe as I'm sitting in my
FaZe chair with my FaZe Jersey FaZe
Naruto mouse pad after 9 years and 113
days of being in faas I am no longer in
phas and probably will never be in Phase
again um I joined phas January 3rd 2015
and when I joined phas it was the the
best thing in the world I always tell
this to people if you could go back in
time and ask 17-year-old Blazin what he
wanted to be told him you can be a
billionaire you can be an astronaut you
can be the president of the United
States I would have said no to all of it
the only thing that I wanted to do was
be in phase and be like the phase
members that I looked up to which were
Phase Apex and phase rain and adapt who
at the time wasn't in Phase yet but
ended up joining phase now I know that
this may come as a massive shock to a
lot of you guys um maybe not so much who
knows uh it was definitely a shock when
I told like my parents and like my best
friend Nick they were all like this is
BS and like it's it's really not listen
the reason why I'm sitting here with so
much positivity there's a few reasons
why uh I actually found found out that I
was going to leave Faze or get kicked
from FaZe I guess uh 2 months ago so and
when I first found out I was really
really sad but God's timing is insane I
didn't even have a full day to process
the news that I am no longer in Phase
which was devastating and I received the
literal best news of my life and an
announcement that I'm going to make in
this video that I've been holding on to
for about 2 months now and every day I'm
just like I can't wait to talk about
this cuz it's so exciting but this is a
really important video for me because
this will be probably the last time I
ever talk about faas so I want to
address the FaZe audience my audience
and some of the OG fze guys Apex and
Banks I want to say specific things to
them but before we get into all that
stuff which in itself is very sad stuff
I want to lay the groundwork for just a
really positive vibe and some really
good stuff that's about to happen so
about 2 weeks before I found out that I
was no longer going to be in Phase I
made a little trip out to a city called
Bentonville the city Bentonville is in
Arkansas now not many people know about
this city but the people who do know
about this city you'll know what is
located in Bentonville and why I was out
there as you can see here I was in front
of the Walmart headquarters which is
located in Bentonville and what was I
doing at Walmart well if you didn't know
at the end of last year I launched a
brand it's called charge chocolate I
have some right here in front of me me
it's a milk chocolate or dark chocolate
ball that is caffeinated it has 54 Mig
of caffeine and we launched last year we
had a really successful launch so
successful in fact that we just signed a
deal with Walmart to sell our product
charge exclusively for 6 months I'll
actually read you guys the exact um
moment when I found out about I got put
my reading glasses on but this is an
email from our sales Rebecca she said
congratulations team you brought an
amazing product in plan to the world's
largest retailer they not only like it
but love it to the point where Walmart
wants it for themselves for the first 6
months this is not an everyday
occurrence please take a beat and
appreciate what you have done this far
and let's kick ass on our product launch
guys I started something that is ending
up in a freaking Walmart and not just
one Walmart three over 3,000 Walmart
stores you're going to be able to buy
charge uh starting in August of this
year I'm talking a multi-million dollar
distribution deal with the biggest
retailer in the freaking world how could
I ever be sad bro I got that news the
same day that I found out that I was no
longer going to be with FaZe granted I
didn't officially know that I wasn't
going to be in FaZe until literally just
yesterday um that's when Apex and Tommy
like called me and officially confirmed
but you know unfortunately for FaZe
somebody always ends up spilling the
beans so you know I had somebody reach
out and basically telling me a couple
months ago that this was happening and
um I tried reaching out to Apex uh I
sent him like a long text message I was
like yo can you just let me know like if
I'm not going to be in faas anymore like
it's kind of stressing me out like not
knowing knowing like people tell me one
thing and he never responded to me um
and then yesterday you know he just hit
me and he was like yo can you h on a
call with me and Tommy and they were
like they were really nice they were
awesome and it was you know more than
anything I was just happy to hear their
voices you know I don't really talk to
those guys or any of the New York guys
anymore and it makes me happy to know
that they're doing well and and they are
thriving they're doing so good obviously
leading up to that call yesterday I had
about 2 months worth of time to come to
the realization that you know I'm not
going to be in Phase anymore which is
part of the reason that I sit here today
with a smile on my face and I'm not sad
at all and nobody out there should be
sad for me another reason obviously is
the fact that my product charge
chocolate is going to be selling into
Walmart and I'm going to be able to tour
the country and hit Walmarts with a
bunch of creators it's going to be a
freaking awesome time I can't explain to
you guys how excited I am for it but I
think the main reason why I'm not sad
about not being in Phase anymore is
because this phase that exists today is
not the phase that I fell in love with
um you know I can be extremely proud
that I was a part of the greatest era of
phase and I would be happy to be proven
wrong but I personally believe there
will never be a better era of phase I
think that was the best that it ever was
and ever will be um mainly because when
we did it back then it was not for the
money none of us did it for money we did
it because we love to do it we love Call
of Duty we love trickshotting and we
love the brand phase which represented
all that having said that I absolutely
would have loved to take on the
challenge of rebuilding faase being a
part of the new era of fazee and seeing
if we can't bring it back to where it
once was um and I absolutely would
implore every person watching this video
to continue supporting faas if you want
to don't stop supporting FaZe because
I'm not a part of it anymore because
remember even though I'm not in faas
anymore I'm still an owner of FaZe you
know uh even though we all absolutely
hated the old management structure of
FaZe one thing that they did do is they
gave me shares and ownership of the
company which I don't think I ever would
have gotten from the guys um at least
they never talked to me about it so um I
was very thankful to receive those
shares to a lot of people it may not be
a lot of shares especially to the owners
they look at that and they're like oh
you're happy with that like at the end
of the day I didn't deserve anything
from this the only thing I feel in A
Moment Like This throughout the entire
time that I've been in phase is
thankfulness that's exactly what I said
to Tommy and Apex yesterday when they
let me know about the news the first
thing I said was guys I cannot explain
to you guys how grateful I am to
have been a part of this team to have
learned from you guys and so much of who
they are the OG face house guys are who
I am today you know my mannerisms the
jokes I make it's you know those guys
imprinted hard on on who I am and I'm so
grateful every opportunity that
I have today stems from FaZe inspiring
the dream inspiring me to do something
with my life inspiring every gamer out
there at the time you know that you can
make a living off of this and and do
what you want I think that's really what
FaZe has always been about I think
that's when FaZe was the most powerful
was when FaZe was showing people that
the dream is real and FaZe doesn't show
people that the dream is real anymore
and I don't think that they ever will
but again like I said I genuinely hope
I'm proven wrong because I'm an owner at
the end of the day I've been benefit
from all the success that they're you
know having so and just to underscore
how thankful I am for this whole
experience whenever I look back at the
New York house times I look back at it
with impostor syndrome like I have no
idea how I got myself into that
situation because I am not like an
entertaining content creator I am not a
controversial person I was really good
at editing that's the secret about
entertainment is a lot of the people you
see in entertainment aren't actually
entertaining the people who are editing
the content are really good at editing
and make the content entertaining and
that's what I was good at I was really
freaking good at editing and that's what
made my content shine at the end of the
day I don't think that this content
creator life was ever supposed to be for
me but yet still I made it happen and
I'm so freaking thankful because again
if it wasn't for all that stuff I
wouldn't have any of the opportunities
that I have today so don't want to keep
you yapping but to end off this video I
did want to give a special thank you
thank you Apex thank you Tommy I've
already spoken to you guys directly but
to the people that I haven't spoken to
adapt thank you to thank you Cheo thank
you Sensei thank you and probably most
importantly thank you nordan you are the
king you are the goat of this and you
are the one who got squeezed the hardest
out of everybody in this phase situation
and all I I think about you more than
you realize and more than any of the
other OG New York house guys maybe
because back in the day I was just the
biggest fan of you maybe it's because
you were the goat in my eyes and and
nobody has ever done it better with more
passion and more intensely since thank
you for inspiring me thank you for
letting me be a part of your life and I
genuinely wish you all of the guys the
original ownership of pH happiness and
satisfaction with this brand I hope you
guys make it everything that you guys
want it to be now that you guys have
control again um all of my managers at
FaZe the the team that I've grown close
with thank you guys so much
and I also want to give a huge thank you
to Banks because at the end of the day I
would not be here if it wasn't for that
guy a lot of people don't know that
Banks basically told the OG New York
house guys that I was moving in he
didn't ask he didn't say hey guys is it
cool that blae is moving in he said he's
moving in and you guys better be cool
with it and if it wasn't for that then I
would not have been a part of the FaZe
house and I would have missed out on
meeting so many awesome people and being
a part of so many great opportunities so
um really got to give Banks a lot of
credit there you know he has a very
specific talent for spotting out other
people who are talented before anybody
else does so I think I definitely had
something in me and he spotted it and I
was able to flourish for a few years and
everything that has happened since good
in my life has been because of that so
thank you and to all of the viewers out
there I know you and me don't really
have as much of a personal relationship
as we used to because I don't really
upload as much uh but I hope you guys
are all doing really well I really
appreciate you guys even if this is your
first time watching this video like you
guys are the ones that made this all
happen not just for myself but for all
of us you know we kind of it up
by giving the company to like people who
didn't really give a and just
sucked money out of it you know at the
end of the day I was never paid a salary
and I I and I like I feel really good
about the fact that I didn't take
advantage of FaZe in any way shape or
form um I didn't make a single dime off
of it sure I have shares but there's
people who have put not even a percent
of the effort that I have put into the
success of the brand um who have made
millions of dollars and have millions of
dollars more in shares than me but I'm
really happy with how I've conducted
myself as a part of phas and again
nobody can take that away from me I was
a part of the most legendary era in
gaming YouTube and most likely there
will never be another era like that
because nowadays everything is kind of
more about the money it was a lot more
genuine back then just doing it for the
love but yeah guys that's pretty much
all I wanted wanted to say thank you for
hearing me out um if you're one of the
few people out there who's still really
looking forward to new videos from me
you're in luck cuz there's going to be a
lot of them um I have a new found fire
in me to absolutely crush it one you
know to prove people wrong about me not
being in Phase um I definitely think I
could have contributed a lot and I got
to prove that to them now but also
because of this amazing opportunity with
charge it's inspired me to take this
thing to a whole new level and I hope
you guys follow me along for the ride um
I do really suggest if you want to try
it go check it out we have a website
charge chocolate.com um it is such a
freaking fire product it I literally use
it every day every day when I go get a
workout in well I don't work out every
day I work out like five days a week but
when I go work out I take it for my
workouts when I sit down and have gaming
sessions I take it for my gaming
sessions long car rides I take it for my
car rides it's so good it tastes amazing
makes me feel good great caffeine and
most importantly it don't make me go to
the bathroom all the time I'm like
freaking energy drinks and coffee do but
don't take my word for it try it for
yourself go to our website buy some or
just wait until they arrive in Walmarts
and you'll be able to get them in a
location close to you but yeah for the
last time it has been FaZe Blaze signing
out and I'll catch you guys in the next
video peace
