Tfue’s Faze Clan lawsuit is better for players “than if a union popped up tomorrow”
Fortnite streamer Tfue’s public disagreement with Faze Clan could be more impactful than an esports union. Earlier today, videogame attorney Ryan Morrison told us that the situation could prove important in future negotiations.
When asked whether he thought Tfue’s lawsuit would make a difference in agreements between esports organisations and their players, Morrison said “I absolutely do. I think this lawsuit, whether it settles tomorrow or sees a decision in a year, will have a strong impact starting tomorrow. This is the event the industry has known will come but has yet to see: a player powerful and popular enough calling out the bad practices of the industry at large.”
“‘Industry standard’ is the argument and shield used by most teams right now to propose and enforce such terrible terms. Letting the world in on that has made it impossible to continue. This is a bigger win for player rights than if a union suddenly popped up tomorrow." Tfue says that a recent video statement is an attempt to “serve justice to the esports community.”
