Josue Burgos, better known online as FaZe Sway, is an American YouTuber and professional gamer with an estimated net worth of $1-5 million as reported by various sources.
Sway is mostly known for his gameplay clips and montages of Fortnite, Epic’s popular battle royale, which usually features his insane building skills and exquisite high ground retakes. Sway was always extremely fond of gaming ever since his childhood and eventually decided to turn his passion into his source of livelihood.
Sway initially entered the world of professional gaming via YouTube. He initially registered his channel under the name Sway on June 18, 2013. Though he created this channel quite early considering his age at the time, he uploaded his first video to the channel in March 2017, titled Easy De Atomizer. Since most of his content was specifically based around his Fortnite montages and gameplays, he was picked up by Chronic Gaming, an upcoming esports organization in North America.
After making quite a name for himself with snazzy Fortnite montages and building clips, Sway was signed by FaZe Clan in February 2019, which made him the youngest player to ever play for the roster at that time, at the age of 15, which was soon broken by FaZe H1ghSky1.
Despite all the hype around his near-perfect gameplay, Sway truly became viral after he signed with the FaZe Clan. The acquisition of Sway leapfrogged his career as a content creator & professional gamer, and he subsequently earned his first million views on YouTube on a video titled ‘FaZe Sway vs. Ghost Aydan’. However, on April 27th 2004, Sway confirmed that he had been kicked out of FaZe Clan.
