Pro eSports team FaZe clan to leave newly formed regulatory body WESA

And so it begins.

The World eSports Association has been the hot topic of discussion lately, but the newly-formed regulatory body has been hit with criticisms as players, industry veterans and even several media outfits raised their concern about its capability to raise the profile of professional competitive gaming.

Now, IGN has reported that one of the association’s member teams is reportedly leaving WESA, barely a week after it was formed.

Sources told IGN’s Kevin Knocke that FaZE Clan organization is willing to pay $50,000 in penalties “due to early demands of exclusivity by ESL.” ESL, which founded WESA, is one of the biggest eSports organizations currently out there.
