It will be interesting to see who the survivors are in a few years. It seems like Adrenaline and 3d are the two that are major players in teams, events and other including video and recruiting bureaus. If you are running a major club but one of these two stops inviting you to tournaments, will that leverage these two have leverage over who gets weakened by them? Sure, Crabs and Dukes run good events but neither are beyond local or nearly as well capitalized and organized as Adrenaline and 3d.
3D has certainly become a monster of a company and it would seem they have a chance to knock everyone off of the map. Their growth across the nation is viral at this point.
They do a great job with certain things, in some areas of the country players are moving away from their clubs because while they offer great instruction if you aren't one of the recognized stars you will be on the sidelines during tourneys. Some kids do like the team aspect of the sport, not having older kids and superstars come in from Canada and other parts of the US to ensure a win for your team. Parents don't want to pay big $ and travel costs to have junior watch his "team" win from the sideline. Like anything else, they have a place and are beneficial to some. They absolutely push reclassifying.
