EH and TO wiped! AbuRaghebV9
This week, Bootleggers witnessed what may have been one the biggest shoot outs ever made since the very beginning of this round. Bullets were sent flying towards members of both Event Horizon and The Order, and their ranks started to fall off as leaves from a dying tree. Both crews perished in the event.

It seemed that the shooters were pretty organised, and had used multiple shooters in order to carry out a task that would ensure a full wipe of both crews which could count many high ranked as their members. Furthermore, as time quite clearly showed, the shooters' tactics proved successful; and both crews were fully wiped off the statistics page.

Questions arose seeking the power that was behind the chaos, and it was no other than old nemesis enemies, The Syndicate, who were behind them. Six shooters were used in this devastating attack: NoMercyIV, xDaaan, Illinois, specialist87 and Solar_Flare Unfortunately, these Syndicate shooters have once again refused to give us any info regarding their shootings, and we were unable to cover any more information from their side.

After the dust settled down, we noticed the different distribution of the bullet factories that both EH and TO had held prior to getting shot. All five bullet factories, Michigan; New York; Colorado; Pennsylvania; and Nevada, were found within the reach of different crews. It did not seem as if The Syndicate were interested in any bullet factories of their own, leaving them to the same old underground style of play.

When asked about a reason as to why EH were shot, ShwayzEH replied, “We've been attacked by The Syndicate. Why? I don't know. But it's not the first time they attacked us, and I'm sure it won't be the last time either.” So it may not be the end of this ongoing war. As for EH's on stats plans, ShwayzEH told the Buzz, “I don't know if we'll be back on the stats soon. First we've got to get back up, then we'll see whether we get back on the stats or not.”

Whether or not this is the last we will have heard of The Order and Event Horizon cannot be told. However, if we look at the past, and we will have to look pre-reset for that, we will find that The Order and Event Horizon are not known for giving up after having been wiped once.
