Atlanta FaZe players Tyler “aBeZy” Pharris, Austin “SlasheR” Liddicoat, and head coach James Crowder were the targets of a scary drive-by attack during Call of Duty: League Major Four in Columbus, Ohio between April 20 to 23. The trio was returning from a restaurant to their hotel on one of the nights when multiple men shouted at them and pulled what looked like airsoft guns from their car and shot at them, aBeZy told his fans during a live stream on April 25. Thankfully, nobody got hurt in the incident.
“We were on the sidewalk pretty close to the hotel and these guys pulled up in a car and screamed,” aBeZy said while recalling the incident. “I turned around and it looked like they had a gun pointing out of the window, but it was an airsoft gun or a Nerf gun or something. They all shot us but thankfully we had our hoodies up so it didn’t really hurt. It just felt like something had tapped the back of my sweatshirt.”
