INTRODUCING FAZE BLUEFILLE;
FAZE’S NEWEST GAMER GIRL IS ON A MISSION TO BRING FEMALES TO THE FOREFRONT
LOS ANGELES /PRNewswire/ — Today, FaZe Clan Inc. (“FaZe Clan”), the lifestyle and media platform rooted in gaming and youth culture, announced the newest addition to their roster, Grace Van Dien aka FaZe Bluefille [pronounced /bloo · fee/]. Well known for her role as Chrissy Cunningham in season four of Stranger Things, Grace is taking the industry by storm and giving her community a whole new look into her life by channeling her gaming skills and becoming a dedicated Twitch streamer (streaming today on twitch.com/bluefille).
Check out “Meet FaZe Bluefille” and hear from Grace herself on her plans to impact the gaming world and why she’s ready for the fight that comes with being a female in a male dominated industry. Grace is also celebrating her announcement with a content piece featuring an anime version of FaZe Bluefille sharing the news with close friends Valkyrae, Pokimane, DisguisedToast, Amouranth, Tarik and Sykkuno – watch HERE.
“Ever since my first meeting with FaZe, we shared the same vision in working together to create lasting change for female gamers in this industry,’ said Grace Van Dien aka FaZe Bluefille. “We picked each other for a reason and I’m excited to take on an important role in bringing women to the forefront. This is not just about the announcement of me joining FaZe, it’s what we’re going to do together.”
“I’m stoked to have Grace on board with us, she’s been a friend for a little while now and is genuinely one of the kindest people I know,” said FaZe Nate Hill. “She’s also super talented – people know her as an actress but she’s carried me on Valorant more than a few times. Grace adds another element to the team and she’s a great fit for the future of FaZe Clan.”
Born and raised as a California native, Grace grew up on video games from watching and playing classic shooters as a kid with her Dad, Casper Van Dien. Now, with over 6.2M followers across all platforms and over 106M social views and engagements in 2022, Grace is ready to add herself to the growing list of iconic female gamers and build a fanbase that embraces the fun and feminine side of gaming. She’s focused on creating content surrounding her everyday life and VALORANT gameplay with popular streamers including Valkyrae, Pokimane, DisguisedToast, Amouranth and more.
“Grace exemplifies the unwavering personal identity and resilience required to help pave the way in the necessary evolution of female gamers,” said FaZe Clan President, Erik Anderson. “We are thrilled to collaborate with her in our ongoing mission to empower women in their roles as gamers, streamers, creators and esports professionals.”
FaZe Bluefille joins the ranks of FaZe Clan’s female members following FaZe Kalei, a highly-skilled gamer with a provocative personality to match, and most recently, FaZe’s Female Valorant team competing in the 2023 Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) Game Changers Series.

KFC Chicken Sandwiches Unlock Exclusive Diablo® IV In-Game Rewards for a Limited Time
Purchase any finger lickin’ good KFC Chicken Sandwich to access up to five in-game rewards
LOUISVILLE, Ky. /PRNewswire/ — Kentucky Fried Chicken® is making its KFC Chicken Sandwich even more craveable with a spicy new promotion tied to the highly anticipated new Diablo® IV video game. Now through 7/2*, customers who purchase any KFC Chicken Sandwich (classic or spicy, including combo options) on the KFC app or KFC.com will be eligible to unlock exclusive in-game rewards** in one of the most anticipated video games of the year. The exclusive in-game rewards include up to five battle cosmetics in KFC’s signature red and white brand colors, with each piece of equipment representing one Diablo class, to help gamers show off their style.
The KFC Chicken Sandwich is made up of a quarter-pound, double-breaded, Extra Crispy™ all-white meat chicken breast filet with crunchy, thick pickles, a freshly toasted buttery brioche bun and the perfect amount of the Colonel’s real mayo (classic) or the Colonel’s spicy sauce (spicy). Each sandwich is prepared when ordered, so it is served hot every time.
To develop its best chicken sandwich ever back in 2021, KFC’s food innovation team tested pickles with eight variations of thickness and collaborated with six different bakeries on more than 10 recipes to find the best ingredients to go along with KFC’s crispy, crunchy fried chicken.
“As the fried chicken experts, we’ve set the standard in the fried chicken sandwich game,” said Nick Chavez, CMO, KFC U.S. “Now fans of Diablo IV can feed their hunger for both our best chicken sandwich ever and exclusive in-game rewards.”
“Everyone loves a good food promotion, and KFC chicken hits the mark just right for exploring Sanctuary,” said Rod Fergusson, general manager of Diablo. “Adventurers will want to be sure to get these fried-tastic cosmetics to be ready to charge into the Diablo IV launch weekend.”
In March, KFC and Blizzard Entertainment kicked off their collaboration by offering customers the chance to preview Diablo IV during a Beta weekend by purchasing a KFC Double Down Sandwich. Now launching on June 6, Diablo IV is the next installment in the genre-defining video game series and invites players to join the fight against evil.
This next campaign highlights the delicious dilemma KFC fans face when choosing between the classic or spicy fried chicken sandwiches, delighting gamer audiences by begging the question, “Would you do anything for a spicy Kentucky Fried Chicken sandwich?”
To unlock the exclusive in-game rewards, customers need to create a KFC account on the KFC app or KFC.com and sync their KFC account to their Diablo IV Battle.net® account, which will automatically unlock the first reward. Customers can then unlock up to four additional rewards by purchasing the qualifying menu items on the KFC app or KFC.com only during the promotional period (one sandwich order unlocks one new reward). The status of unlocked rewards can be found at KFC.com/Diablo.
After placing orders for the KFC Chicken Sandwich on KFC.com or the app using Quick Pick-Up, customers can head to their local KFC and avoid the line, park in a dedicated VIP parking spot and go inside where their chicken sandwich will be hot and ready, waiting on KFC’s Quick Pick-Up shelf.
KFC has a background in the gaming world, including a 2019 dating simulator where players were challenged to impress an animated Colonel Sanders in their adventures in culinary school. KFC fans in Brazil can also unlock Diablo IV rewards in their markets through similar promotions.
*KFC account and Battle.net account creation required. Must purchase sandwich between 5/29 and 7/2 through KFC account on kfc.com or the KFC app – NOT in-restaurant. Battle.net sync required to unlock rewards – available starting 5/30. Diablo IV sold separately. One reward per purchase. Maximum of 5 rewards per account. Only U.S. orders eligible. Must be 18 or older. Canceled order not eligible. Digital ordering available at participating locations. While supplies last. Diablo and Battle.net are registered trademarks of Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. in the U.S. and other countries. See KFC.com/Diablo for more information.
**Rewards are timed exclusive content until at least July 31, 2023.
