The lawsuit has raised questions about how esports organizations structure their player contracts. and whether they should be held to the same standards as traditional talent agencies.
A number of popular online personalities have shared their thoughts on the lawsuit with varying levels of skepticism surrounding the situation. Top Twitch streamer Herschel "Dr. Disrespect" Beahm criticized the details of the FaZe Clan contract and offered to give Tenney advice.
"It looks like he's taking the right approach, he's got some knowledgable people behind him and they're going to push the point," Beahm said in a video.
Tyler "Ninja" Blevins, the most popular gamer on Twitch, was skeptical of Tenney being pressured to do stunts and drink unwillingly, but also said the terms of FaZe Clan's contract seemed extreme.
"Do not sign anything over one year, unless you're like, solid, or it's a multi-million dollar deal," Blevins said on his own channel. "Anything over a year is a little ridiculous."
As an emerging industry, the world of esports and online influencers is largely unregulated, leaving the young people at the center of the industry to negotiate the terms of their career.
