Cobra, founder of Bitcoin.org, said on Twitter, "Bitcoin ABC will lose the hash war no matter how much hash they steal from Roger and Jihan's pools. The miners backing SV are only exclusively mining BCH. They can wait however long until the temporary pro-ABC hash goes back, and then re-org the chain back to remove ABC blocks." Source:

I think views from Craig SW are likely to be wrong, so Craig SW vs Bitmain
a. Attacker use more hashrate, mine blocks on the ‘attacker chain’ which is longer than the original chain
b. The ‘attacker chain’ will then be broadcasted to the entire network and the nodes will follow the rules: adopt the longer ‘attacker chain’ and abandon the original chain. on below shows how the ‘’attacker chain’’ will be accepted by the nodes as the main-chain
It will hard fork to secure chain BSV. They also announced that they would stage a hash war with chain ABC (version 0.18.2) in order to kill the chain completely.
Bitmain can use hashrate from BTC to engage in the BCH hash war and thus has more hashrate than Craig SW.
