FaZe co-owner Kaysan did not hold back when BC.Game CEO Ako claimed on social media that his organization had tried to purchase FaZe’s entire Counter-Strike 2 lineup. Rather than addressing the substance of the alleged offer, Kaysan zeroed in on what he called unprofessional behavior, accusing Ako of shopping around for a different answer after FaZe’s leadership had already turned the proposal down. The exchange, now sitting in full view of the CS2 community, has quickly become a proxy debate about how esports executives should handle failed negotiations.
Ako first floated the story in what he described as a “leak,” stating that BC.Game made a run at acquiring FaZe’s core CS2 players. According to Ako, his partner was on board, but FaZe said no, forcing BC.Game to look elsewhere. The remarks spread fast through CS2 news aggregators, but Ako provided no receipts at that point. He later hinted at holding proof, posting “Am I lying? Or should I put out the proof? 🙂” — a move that signaled he was ready to escalate if needed.
Kaysan Calls Out Pillow Talk, Questions Motives
Kaysan’s response landed in two phases. First came laughing emojis, then a direct reply that framed the entire episode as a breach of business etiquette. “You’re a CEO acting like a child,” Kaysan wrote. He confirmed that BC.Game had reached out to people in FaZe’s orbit, but insisted the organization had already vetoed the proposal. The FaZe co-owner then alleged that Ako kept trying to work around that rejection by contacting other individuals. “You kept trying to go behind our backs to others to get another answer, didn’t get your way and now pillow talking on the internet. Unprofessional. If it’s attention you want, good job.”
Ako did not walk back his claim. Instead, his cryptic follow-up about releasing evidence kept the pressure on. No screenshots, DMs, or official statements have surfaced from either camp as of publication. FaZe as an organization and BC.Game as a company have stayed silent, leaving the dispute at the personal level between two executives with competing versions of events.
Community Takes Sides, But Facts Remain Thin
For a scene that usually rallies around roster move rumors, this one cuts both ways. Some fans side with Kaysan, arguing that private deal talk should not become a public spectacle unless there is a signed contract to show. Others want Ako to follow through on his proof threat, viewing documentation as the only way to settle who is misrepresenting what happened. The discussion has dominated CS2 social feeds this week, but the actual factual record is bare: no verified communication, no organizational statement, no third-party confirmation.
- Ako stated BC.Game attempted to purchase FaZe’s CS2 roster and was rejected.
- Kaysan confirmed BC.Game approached FaZe but said the organization already said no.
- Kaysan accused Ako of contacting other people after FaZe refused, calling the CEO unprofessional.
- No party has produced screenshots, messages, or official organizational statements to back their account.
| Party | Position | Key Claim | Evidence Provided |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC.Game CEO Ako | Claimant | BC.Game tried to buy FaZe’s CS2 core; FaZe declined | None; hinted at releasing proof |
| FaZe co-owner Kaysan | Denier | Offer was rejected; Ako then went behind FaZe’s back | None; called Ako unprofessional |
| BC.Game (organization) | Silent | No comment issued | N/A |
| FaZe (organization) | Silent | No comment issued | N/A |
| CS2 Community | Divided | Some back Kaysan on privacy; others want Ako to publish proof | N/A |
As the story stands, the only thing separating a failed negotiation from a fabricated one is a promise of evidence that has not materialized. Both parties continue to operate purely on their own accounts, with no organizational backing and no third-party verification in sight. Neither BC.Game nor FaZe has moved to align behind their respective executive’s version of events, leaving the entire affair hanging on whatever Ako decides to do with his hinted proof.
