Where is ISIS going now that it's leaderless?

Now that the ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead what is the rest of ISIS going to do? Do they have another charismatic personality like the one Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had? He had these people believing that he was a prophet on top of being a leader of a terrorist group. Does his replacement possess these traits or if not then there is no replacement thus no unifying factor which means this group may form factions as independent groups because some groups hate others. There will be no unity. The replacement may just look at what happened to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and resign on the spot. Which is a smart move considering the previous leader is no longer around to brag about it. Will these factions war amongst themselves? If they do what about the ones that sit it out. Will they look to the rest of the middle east as their targets? Or will they hang it up too? Let's see. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: Since publication of the preceding article I was unaware we had also gone after the number 2 man in the ISIS hierarchy. Taking out the founder and his second in command tells everyone that being part of ISIS can be hazardous to their health. Very few will want the job at this point.
