If FSoE were to migrate to Black Hole, I feel like that would basically signal the end of Armada's controlling influence over the trance scene - they'd still put out some trance releases on labels like ASoT, Armind and Statement, and the ASoT show/festival brand would continue as long as they find it profitable, but overall their days as the scene's leading conglomerate would be dead.
