Founding Fathers LAN Tournament

The Founding Fathers LAN Tournament was born out of an exchange between Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag, CEO of 100 Thieves, and Richard "FaZe Banks" Bengtson, CEO of FaZe Clan, about Banks returning to play Call of Duty. Their banter quickly sent the gaming community into a frenzy.  Recognizing the opportunity to create something monumental, Nadeshot and Banks called on Hector "HecZ" Rodriguez, CEO of OpTic to join the event. The response from the gaming community was immediate and overwhelming, with players and fans demanding the reunion of these three iconic teams to recapture the energy of the early Call of Duty days. The Founding Fathers LAN Tournament, which will take place from an undisclosed location, will be streamed live on FaZe ZooMaa's Twitch, OpTic Scump's Twitch, and 100 Thieves Nadeshot's Twitch.
