supplanting
Ousting the incumbent
Supplanting is the act of taking the place of something or someone, usually by force or strategy.
Where replacing is neutral, supplanting carries connotations of displacement or usurpation: The old guard worried about newcomers supplanting them.
Technologies supplant older ones; rivals supplant incumbents.
