The 2024 Streamer Awards, a night meant to celebrate the gaming and streaming community, turned into a battleground when actress and streamer Grace Van Dien reignited her feud with FaZe Clan during her on-stage presentation.

FaZe Clan, which claimed the award for Best Content Organization of the Year, found itself at the center of the drama as Van Dien took the opportunity to deliver a pointed remark. “I am hard-stuck Bronze in every game I play, that’s why I was never accepted into FaZe, right guys?” she quipped while presenting the award for Best Creative Arts Streamer, which went to FaZe member Plaqueboymax.

Her comments reopened old wounds from 2023, when Van Dien, best known for her role in Stranger Things

, joined FaZe during a controversial phase in the organization’s history. At the time, FaZe was undergoing a major transformation, bringing in members from non-gaming backgrounds to diversify its brand. However, this shift didn’t sit well with some of the founding members, leading to a public backlash against Grace Van Dien before she was officially welcomed into the fold.

The tension escalated into a heated exchange on social media, ultimately prompting Van Dien to leave FaZe after facing ridicule and emotional distress. The 2024 Streamer Awards proved that the conflict remains unresolved.

Following her jab, FaZe’s official X (formerly Twitter) account and founding member Banks didn’t hold back, sarcastically stirring the pot. “Couldn’t have done it without FaZe Grace,” Banks posted. Hours later, Grace Van Dien clapped back on her own X account, writing, “FaZe guys are so brave online but just stared and whispered whenever they saw me last night. Micro energy.”

Other FaZe members, including Ronaldo, joined in on the drama. Ronaldo humorously suggested a dinner date with Grace Van Dien to smooth things over, quipping, “No no no… not the FaZe boys, just us.”

While FaZe Clan celebrated a major win at the awards, the lingering bitterness from the 2023 fallout was evident. Van Dien’s comments and the subsequent reactions have reignited a feud that shows no signs of resolution, proving that some bridges are harder to rebuild than others.
