Personalities who create content for FaZe Clan include professional athletes Kyler Murray and Ben Simmons. The singer Pitbull and several other sports and entertainment figures are among the company’s investors.

Riley SPAC has about $170 million. Some or all of that money could also increase FaZe Clan’s cash proceeds from the deal.
