The Epic Ascent To Stardom
When he was younger, FaZe Adapt struggled to make friends and turned to sports and computer games to escape his dreary school environment. He purchased Modern Warfare 2 about the time he was in the eighth grade and became obsessed with it right away. With the gamer tag “SoaR Adapt,” he immediately joined the well-known gaming squad SoaRGaming. He started his YouTube channel in 2011 to teach people his trick-shot techniques. His first notable success was amassing 1000 subscribers in a short amount of time. Soon after, he met FaZe Banks, who would later welcome him into the FaZe Clan. As his subscriber count slowly increased, top YouTube gamers began to take notice of him. He received an invitation to join the FaZe Clan around the time he hit 80k subscribers, according to FaZe Apex. Alex accepted the offer without hesitation, and two days later he had amassed 100,000 subscribers. From that point on, his YouTube account took off, and he began to add roughly 100k subscribers per month.
Why Faze Adapt Is So Unique?
Faze Adapt is definitely unique because of his tenacity. His father claimed that Alex had always been quite persistent in an interview with a local television station. The backyard of Alex’s home was where he used to play basketball as a shy youngster with no friends. His main goal during his first year of college was to make the school basketball team. When he was dismissed from the school squad, he began working even harder to reapply for the team the next year. Sadly, his efforts were fruitless as he was once more abruptly removed from the team. Even though this occurrence devastated him so badly that he eventually gave up playing basketball, he gave his other hobby—playing video games—more attention. Alex has been a devoted fan of FaZe Clan since the eighth grade and was keen to improve enough to join the team. He began to play with more regularity and honed his trick-shot abilities. His persistence eventually paid off. Alex was bullied for being socially uncomfortable throughout his entire youth, but he eventually made it to the top gaming group on the internet and is now an inspiration to a ton of young gamers. His YouTube career has become so successful due to the growth of his channel that he even opted to forgo college.
