Life

Turner Tenney is the brother of Jack Tenney, who is also a professional skimboarder . He attended middle school for a week, but was quick to believe that "[...] it sucked [there] [...]" ("[...] it was annoying [...] ] "), which is why" [...] he never really went to school [...] "(" [...] he never really went to school [...] ") and was taught at home instead . Back in 2010, a video of Tenney skimboarding at the age of 12 was uploaded to his YouTube channel by his older brother Jack. Tenney has another brother named Pierce and a sister named Alexandra. He later moved to his duo partner Dennis Leopore in New Jersey because he has a ping of 0 ms there, which gives him an advantage in the game.

Career

Tenney started playing video games at the age of 12 . The first game Tenney started playing competitively was Halo . At the time, Turner was on his brother Jack's YouTube channel. They posted videos of them surfing, skating, and doing trampoline stunts. After Halo, Tenney began playing the Call of Duty and Destiny games. His most viewed Twitch video is a gameplay video from the game Destiny. He started his professional career with the streaming portal Twitch and later began uploading videos from it to YouTube. The first YouTube video he posted online was a Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare gameplay video . After a short time, he was already making money through videos on YouTube and live streams on Twitch.

In 2017, when the emerging video game genre made battle royale popular with games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and H1Z1 , he started streaming those games on Twitch. He also took part in professional H1Z1 tournaments, where he met another well-known streamer, Tyler Blevin's "Ninja," with whom he would later continue to compete. When the battle royale game Fortnite was released, Turner was able to become one of the first players to master this game thanks to the experience he had already gained in this genre. Due to his numerous successes, he finally joined the FaZe clan on April 30, 2018, which gave him even more attention. Within a month, his YouTube channel had almost a million new subscribers and his Twitch channel around 400,000 new followers. Currently (2019) Tenney is on the Twitch world rankings of the most followers in 5th place. He competes with the record holder Ninja, whom he even temporarily overtook on Twitch with the number of subscribers.

Controversy

Tenney was banned from Twitch for a month of racism on May 17, 2018 , with the ban reduced to a week after declaring his innocence and apologizing.

On June 22, 2018, his former Fortnite account was permanently blocked because he bought and sold various accounts. He later created the new account "Not Tfue" and vowed never to buy skins or dances in Fortnite.

A month and a half later, on August 7, 2018, all of his social media accounts were hacked. The hacker changed his Twitter name to "FaZe Gurv" and posted offensive tweets about other Fortnite streamers like Keemstar, Ninja and Myth. His YouTube channel was most recently deleted by hackers and his Twitch account was suspended for harassment on August 23, 2018. However, both accounts were reinstated on September 5, 2018.

A vlog on YouTube in which Tenney spent around one million US dollars on his 21st birthday caused a lot of uproar . He bought the Tesla Model X (about $ 140,000), two jet skis (about $ 2,000), a warehouse (about $ 840,000), and a few other things that he gave away to his fans.

In May 2019, Tenney sued his employer, the FaZe Clan, because they say they keep 80% of his earnings to themselves and forbid him from expanding his own brand.
