In a lawsuit that could drastically alter how esports player contracts are structured, Turner 'Tfue' Tenney is claiming his team illegally restricted his earnings from sponsorship deals.
Professional Fortnite Player Tfue is in a legal dispute with his team, FaZe Clan. By Noah Smith May 21 at 2:58 PM A lawsuit filed in Los Angeles on behalf of a prominent professional player for the video game “Fortnite” is bringing scrutiny to the contractual terms to which esports franchises hold their players.
Tenney also claims he has been prevented from entering into deals with companies, such as video game peripheral company HyperX, that compete with FaZe Clan sponsors.

That earned the ire of Banks, who accused Haag of using the situation to his team’s advantage in a profanity-laced reply on Twitter. Both tweets were later deleted. “There is no union. There is no players association. There is nothing protecting players,” Ryan Morrison, an attorney and talent agent focused on esports, said.
“It used to be enough to go off and win, but now because of high valuations, [esports organizations] need to justify new ways of income,“ said Morrison, who characterized many of the proposed gamer agreements he sees as “garbage, predatory contracts.”
