It's been a tumultuous year for Twitch star Turner "Tfue" Tenney, and it's culminated in a surprise announcement that he intends to take a break from streaming. In a series of short statements on Twitter, he said that he feels "trapped" and unhappy, and will be taking some time off.
Another top 'Fortnite' pro wants out of FaZe Clan
Esports organization FaZe hit the headlines last month, after popular Fortnite player Turner Tenney -- AKA Tfue -- sued the company for violating California labor laws. Following the news -- which saw FaZe trending worldwide on Twitter for hours -- it emerged that the company was taking up to 80 percent of Tenney's revenue earnings and preventing him from signing other deals. Now another well-known streamer is cutting ties with FaZe for the same reasons.
Pro 'Fortnite' player sues FaZe Clan over 'oppressive' team contract
A lawsuit might just redefine how esports teams treat their players. Turner Tenney, better known as the pro Fortnite player Tfue, has sued FaZe Clan for allegedly hurting his opportunities with an "oppressive, onerous, and one-sided" contract that violates California law and the Talent Agency Act. It can take up to 80 percent of his team earnings through a "finder's fee," according to the suit. Tenney also said his contract limits him to sponsorship deals obtained through the team (a possible problem when he produces Twitch and YouTube content), and that FaZe doesn't have the talent agency license it needs to secure work on his behalf.
