Pokimane opens up on FaZe Stocks' record, shares opinion in YouTube video: ‘They are low’
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The stock market is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, where fortunes can be made or lost in the blink of an eye. Investors navigate its unpredictable waters with courage and patience, aware that success requires unwavering determination. However, amidst this turbulent financial landscape, the FaZe clan finds itself facing challenging times in the realm of stocks.
In a recent downturn, the stock prices of the FaZe clan plummeted to their lowest level in comparison to the previous year. It marks a significant dip for the renowned esports organization, reaching depths never experienced before. The sharp decline has investors and enthusiasts alike seeking answers and insight into this concerning situation. Amidst the unfolding financial crisis, Pokimane, the beloved Moroccan-Canadian streamer, has stepped into the spotlight. Known for her engaging content and influential presence in the gaming community, Pokimane couldn't remain silent on the FaZe clan's stock predicament. In one of her compelling videos, she reacts to the fluctuating stock prices and shares her candid opinion on the matter.
'They are low'
In a recent YouTube video, Pokimane expressed her shock over the FaZe Holdings Inc. stocks' results. She showed her fans that the stock prices were as low as $0.394 each, which was a huge drop of 97.24% in the last year. This means the FaZe stocks faced a significant price decline of $13.91.
With a hint of sarcasm, Pokimane remarked, "There's money to be made, surely," as it seems unlikely for the stock prices to rise significantly in the near future after such a massive drop. In the past month, FaZe Holdings also experienced a decline of 18.82% in stock prices. Pokimane highlighted the seriousness of the situation for the FaZe Clan, saying, "They are low, and I mean, there are no more 97 percent for them to go down," cryptically suggesting the stocks have hit rock bottom.
What Led to FaZe's Downfall?
We know that for too long we haven't been the FaZe we need to be, but we’re working hard towards fixing that.

We hope to have all the OGs sit down together soon, and we don't want to do that without everyone. We’ll do everything in our power to work this out & not let you down.
The decline in FaZe's stock prices can be attributed to several reasons. One significant factor is the confrontation between investors and the promised $100 million in liquid capital. This financial dispute led to many content creators within the FaZe clan being severely underpaid, prompting some of them to leave the organization.
FaZe is a renowned Esports and entertainment organization, boasting a massive presence worldwide. With esports teams across various games like CS:GO, Call of Duty, Rainbow Six Siege, PUBG, Valorant, Fortnite, and more, it has become a $40 million gaming empire. Founded in 2010 by Eric Rivera (CLipZ), Jeff Eman (Timid), and Ben Christensen (Resistance), FaZe has gained immense popularity and influence.
Despite debuting as a public company last year, FaZe allowed people to purchase its stocks. However, the organization's stock prices experienced a significant decline due to the financial challenges it faced, particularly related to the unpaid sums owed to content creators within the clan.
The situation has reached a critical point as FaZe clan has received a delisting notice from Nasdaq, a major stock exchange. The threat of delisting from Wall Street looms large if the stock prices do not rise above $1 in the coming months. This impending consequence adds to the turmoil the organization is currently facing.
The FaZe clan finds itself in an incredibly challenging position, and the possibility of a revival seems uncertain. Even Pokimane, who shared her thoughts on the situation, appears to be skeptical about the team's prospects in the face of these serious issues. The organization's future remains uncertain as it navigates through this difficult period.
