Turner Ellis Tenney (born: ), better known online as Tfue (formerly FaZe Tfue), is an American streamer, YouTuber and eSports player from Florida. He gained most of his success playing Fortnite: Battle Royale. Previously a Twitch streamer, Turner is currently a streamer for Kick.

==History==
Turner is a member and sibling of the JOOGSQUAD and had done a lot of collaborative videos on the channel containing trampoline stunts, surfing, scooters, and skateboarding. After a while, he then did a lot of successful cliff and bridge jumping. Turner started off his own YouTube channel and Twitch channel as a Call of Duty and Destiny YouTuber / Streamer. He has also done multiple how-to videos and commentary videos. In late 2016, Turner moved on to H1Z1 and has done multiple compilations of his best moments. Turner then started playing PUBG a few months after it's release. Turner only had 70,000 subscribers before getting success after being invited to FaZe on April 30, 2018. FaZe Tfue Twitch and YouTube both blew up at an exponential rate ever since joining FaZe. However, Turner left FaZe on May 20, 2019, due to FaZe limiting his ability to pursue his career.
===Turner Buys a Skin===
On November 5, 2018, Epic Games sent an Email towards Turner telling him if he wanted the Fortnite NFL Football Skins early, and Turner 'respectively said' no. But, Fortnite did instead give Turner all the Football skins to him. Turner claims he is now a 'poser' if he still uses the recruit (default) skin, "just like everyone else". Turner also said that was the reason why he made one tweet saying "100,000 RETWEETS AND ILL BUY A SKIN"https://twitter.com/TTfue/status/1059993108165799936 because he is no longer a 'real default'. The tweet reaches 100,000 retweets and Turner purchases the 'Bullseye' skin on November 6.
=== Hacked===
On August 7, 2018, Turner's accounts (Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook) were hacked. His Twitter name was changed to 'FaZe Gurv' and the profile picture was a mysterious man. There were also tweets insulting other YouTubers and Fortnite Streamers, mainly towards Keemstar, Ninja, and Myth. It also showed a Direct Message from Turner and FaZe Kay, which contained private messages that were also mentioning FaZe Banks. The YouTube account featured a video advertising hackers spanking each other. On one of the suspects' Twitter account, it 'revealed' Turner's password which was mainly criticizing Myth saying, "Tfue's password is MythIsAF****tWhoCampsInOneByOnesAllGame". The only problem for logging in was, Email was stayed blocked by the hackers, possible 2-step verification, and possible phone verification. And on Turner's Twitch, it contained Fortnite gameplay by hackers and was on PS4. Jack Tenney, Turner's brother, member of the JOOGSQUAD, did comment on Turner's latest video containing Turner and Ninja playing together and mentioned that Turner was hacked and is now trying to get Turner's social's back and to also make sure the hacking never happens again.https://www.dexerto.com/fortnite/faze-clan-fortnite-star-tfue-hacked-across-his-twitch-twitter-and-youtube-accounts-136453/
One day later, Turner says he does not have access to his YouTube Channel. Also, Turner's YouTube profile picture was changed to a termination profile picture, which automatically goes to it when their YouTube channel gets terminated. As Turner was never terminated on YouTube, it was found out that Turner's Google+ was suspended, which is connected to YouTube's usernames and profile pictures.
On August 14, 2018, Turner got his YouTube account back, and had changed it back to his current profile picture, but had removed 'FaZe' off his name. He then made a video explaining the situation to those who are unaware and said they had a long call with AT&T.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KnQQC4HcbM
===Deleted===
On August 23, 2018, Turner's YouTube channel had been closed by a hacker, which Turner was hacked not long ago before. On the same day, his Twitch was suspended once more due to harassment.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kCPT2q27fI People had claimed that Turner did not harass anyone, but his chat was. Turner had announced on Twitter about his YouTube account and his Twitch channel and said there will be more information later to come. Another Twitch streamer, Ninja, had said his YouTube account will be back later and his Twitch is not a permanent ban.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ODJ1HXZCZ0
====Restored====
On September 5, 2018, Turner's YouTube channel and Twitch account were reinstated. He became the most viewed streamer on that day.

On May 20, 2019, Turner sued FaZe for allegedly limiting his ability to pursue his career. This is a violation of the California Law, a state FaZe house takes in.https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthier/2019/05/21/tfue-is-suing-faze-clan-in-an-explosive-lawsuit-thats-rocking-the-esports-world/?sh=4836b85c53aa
Turner says he's missing out on opportunities because of FaZe Clan's illegal activity in connection with a deal he signed in April 2018, keeping only 20% of the revenue from any branded videos that are published on Twitch, YouTube or social media alongside half of his revenue from touring and appearances.https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/tfue-sues-faze-clan-oppressive-contract-1212124/ Turner also says FaZe Clan pressured him to live in one of its homes in the Hollywood Hills with other young YouTubers, where he says he was given alcohol before legal age under California laws (21 years old) and encouraged to illegally gamble.https://techcrunch.com/2019/05/21/pro-gamer-tfue-files-lawsuit-against-esports-org-over-grossly-oppressive-contract/

====Turner's Response ====
On May 22, 2019, Turner made a brief two-minute video quickly addressing the allegations of being pressured to illegally gamble, drinking, and performing dangerous stunts.

Turner urges FaZe to release his contract to the public so his fans can see the deal Turner was signed into. This started a trend #ReleaseTheContract.

====Contract Leaked ====
On May 23, 2019, the contract has been leaked by 'The Blast News'.

===Outburst with Cloakzy and 72hrs===
Turner and his friends Cloakzy and 72hrs have been Fortnite competitive trio partners several times. Three of them placed 11th in the first week of the trio champion series, and 5th place on the 2nd week.https://fortnitetracker.com/events/epicgames_S10_FNCS_Week1_NAEhttps://fortnitetracker.com/events/epicgames_S10_FNCS_Week2_NAE The outburst started by Turner asking for another trio, Cloakzy tweeting about doing an advertisement, and 72hrs asking for trio partners as well.https://twitter.com/TTfue/status/1170354658281447424https://twitter.com/cloakzy/status/1170354410830147585https://twitter.com/72hrs/status/1170410369195659270 Turner then turned his stream on several minutes later. And around the beginning of the stream, Cloakzy was spamming Turner in the chat stating "If you want to play we have to cut an hour short for this one and start an hour late for next @Tfue", meaning they are going to play the next trio champion series an hour late. Turner made the response stating that Cloakzy and 72hrs have not been playing Fortnite as much as they used to, such as playing World of Warcraft Classic and taking a break from Fortnite. However, Turner thought they were still going to play the trio champion series. Turner was also offered by Madden to play their game for $140,000. Turner declined the offer because he thought he was still going to play with his trio Cloakzy and 72hrs. Turner later said he was not upset, but Cloakzy and 72hrs did not tell Turner about the deal when they were playing Madden for a brand deal.https://clips.twitch.tv/SoftAbstruseBobaFrankerZhttps://fortniteintel.com/fortnite-duo-tfue-and-cloakzy-fall-out-over-140000-deal/24773/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSGvatDfVck&t=1m13s
====Cloakzy and 72hrs response====

When 72hrs was playing World of Warcraft Classic, he responded about himself and Cloakzy accepting the brand deal with Madden and later on asked Turner about it so they could be a trio in the game.https://clips.twitch.tv/VictoriousArtisticAntelopeNotLikeThis

===Accused of exploiting===
On May 16, 2020, Turner was playing a Fortnite Championship Series (commonly initialized as FNCS). Turner has had a history of finding Fortnite's supply llamas from a long distance. During the Championship Series, Turner found three of the supply llamas as soon as the game started, some that cannot be seen by the viewers. People on Reddit accused him of changing the game files to make it easier to find these supply llamas from a distance, but others speculated that he has experience of finding the supply llamas as he has done them for a long time competitively.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwZqZSF6nBo&t=6m9s
