FaZe took part in the 2013 MLG Spring Championship and achieved a placement in the top six. Since then the FaZe Clan has been a regular participant in Major League Gaming tournaments. In 2014 the FaZe Clan took part in a Call of Duty World Championship for the first time and came in sixth. After this world championship, FaZe opened two more CoD sister teams named FaZe Red and FaZe Black . Both represented the organization at the World Cup in 2015. FaZe Red was only eliminated in the semi-finals. Despite this success, the two sections were dissolved again in 2015.

Since then, the US-Americans Ian “Enable” Wyatt , Thomas “ZooMaa” Paparratto and Dillon “Attach” Price have been part of the team , who regularly achieve podium positions at the continental tournaments with FaZe.
