So what happens now, 93% miners signaling segwit2x. Will it be the new bitcoin and core will be gone?
In a nut shell something that will no longer happen, unless we want a third BTC and BCC/BCH situation.
Simple real estate principal applies I believe.
One shopping mall gets all the business, two malls may share, three cause them all to go broke.
Bitcoin is a different situation as I realize 2 forks wouldn't cause bitcoin to bust BUT it will steal time, money and thought in the long run.
x2 will be "blocked"

SegWit2x is not a who, it is a what.
and what it is, is a proposal for scaling bitcoin. it proposes that after activating Segregated Witness we also increase the block size to 2 MB instead of the current 1 MB block size.
it is also known as NYA (New York Agreement) which was an agreement between miners (about 80% of them) and some businesses. and so far it has enabled the SegWit part through BIP91 and is scheduled to do the 2 MB hard fork within 3 months.

here is the link showing the miners' support for it: https://blockchain.info/charts/nya-support
here are 2 good links explaining it:

I'd like to add that it enacts the original SegWit proposal (BIP 141) by orphaning non-SegWit blocks, and this: https://medium.com/@DCGco/bitcoin-scaling-agreement-at-consensus-2017-133521fe9a77 which is the original 'announcement' article.and what it is, is a proposal for scaling bitcoin. it proposes that after activating Segregated Witness we also increase the block size to 2 MB instead of the current 1 MB block size.

Core developers oppose it.
