This is not the first time for FaZe Clan. The American esports organization banned its members several times in the past for using racial slurs. This time the famous Fortnite streamer Evan “Cented” Barron who streamed for FaZe Clan got kicked out by the organization for using hate speech during a live stream.
In the live stream, Cented joined a voice chat lobby and used the n-word to greet the other players within that lobby. This was quite surprising to the players. After that FaZe Clan officially declared that they have permanently removed Cented from the organization.
FaZe is constantly evolving and we expect our members to do the same.

Cented is permanently removed from FaZe due to his use of hate speech. We, and the gaming community at large can’t tolerate discriminatory language any longer.
Cented has also tweeted his version:
First and foremost, I am sorry. Not sorry I was exposed, but sorry because I should’ve known better. I can’t hide behind my age or cluelessness for leaving a word like that in my vocabulary. It shouldn’t be in my vocabulary at all. As an adult, I should know better. I had all the information in front of me for knowing better and still chose to act wrongly. For that, I am sorry.
Cented
This is from me and only me

Cented joined FaZe Clan in March 2021 and before that, he played for Team Liquid. He was quite active with his Fortnite stream and was one of the most popular Fortnite personalities from North America.
FaZe Clan’s decision is meticulous as hate speeches are rising in the community. In addition, it is unclear if Epic Games will also impose any penalty on him. However, Cented hasn’t announced anything about his next move.
