What started as a community of "Call of Duty" players, became a company listed on the Nasdaq (NASDAQ:NDAQ) 12 years later.

On May 30, 2010, the first video of theFaZe Snippingchannel was posted on YouTube. It depicted the skills and trick shots of three players: Eric "CLipZ" Rivera, Jeff "House Cat" Emann (now known as "Timid") and Ben "Resistance" Christensen.

Though their initial focus was on content, over time they evolved into a professional esports team and the channel became a lifestyle and youth culture platform. And this year they made it to the stock market.
