Quibi & FaZe Clan Partner Up For New Interactive Series
This week it was announced that esports team FaZe Clan has partnered up with Quibi to make a brand new interactive series centered around the team. The series will be called "FaZe Up" and it will give six subscribers a chance to prove they belong on the team. According to the show's info, the contestants will be elected and voted upon by the Quibi audience, as they will get a chance to "live the FaZe lifestyle." Quibi as a platform will launch on April 6th, 2020, but no word yet if this show will debut with the launch or sometime later. Here's a couple quotes from those involved.
"Over the past 10 years, FaZe Clan has not only contributed to the growth of the gaming lifestyle and the esports community, but we have broken barriers and are not afraid to disrupt the status quo," said FaZe Clan Head of Content Oluwafemi Okusanya. "In 2020, we plan to do the same with content creation and media distribution. The 'FaZe Up' show represents our next chapter in content creation with our first premium production effort and in collaboration with innovative partners like Whistle and Quibi."
"We have had an incredible partnership with FaZe and couldn't be more excited to take it to new heights with this show, especially on a unique platform like Quibi," said Michael Cohen, president of Whistle. "Whistle is all about incorporating our fans into our content and so the fact that the Quibi audience gets the ability to participate and immerse themselves in this experience is a truly perfect fit."
