I find it hard to believe no one has mentioned PRX yet, or how Ruin’s transfer to a EU server will affect things.
First, the reason SoS took EB right off the bat was because of PRX. They are extremely organized, and very fun to work with. They are not fairweather players. They moved from HoD. When we played them last week, PRX was the only guild still representing, and still putting up a fight. Unfortunately the problem with being in a server that had never lost a match, like they did last week, is that everyone who transferred to HoD because they always won transferred to JQ the second HoD started to lose. PRX deserves props for sticking through it, and I have no doubt that SoS is going to be a good home for them.
Second, HoD and ET are likely going to fall from T1 now. HoD lost all of its fairweather players to JQ, and its best guild to SoS. ET lost the last thing holding it up, which was Ruin. They moved to an EU server. Meaning the new T1 will probably look something like JQ, SBI, and (in a couple of weeks) SoS.
