I do think that replacing cNed with Cloud would make a lot of sense. Cloud is a really flexible player(Initiator + Raze main like Zyppan, but focuses more on Sova and Breach than KAY/O and Skye, but only a bit more, hes cracked on these two aswell). It would allow NAVI to play comps that their players can make better work of compared to last year. NAVI tried to put cned on Raze or Omen, it just didnt really work out as expected. Clouds flexibility allows for better execution of their comps(their Fracture f.e. would look better with Zyppan on Raze, Suy on KJ and Cloud on Viper as two players could play their main agents and Cloud plays an agent that hes averages 170 dmg and 235 acs on). He also knows most of the players(he duos with Suygetsu in Ranked if they have time) so they would have a easier time meshing along. He would also learn a lot under Ange1 and doombros, look at SUYGETSU, they brought him in from a high tier 2 team and transformed him to one of the best players on his role in the world, if not one of the best in general. Cloud has so much potential and so much firepower, its in my opinion a no-brainer for NAVI to get Cloud from Giants.
Edit:
Other good options:
- ardiis, return to the roots that brought him to glory in the first place
- Duno, underrated initiator who got unlucky during rostermania
- tomaszy, duelist who can play every duelist on a top level, dont know though if he would fit in ANGE1s system
- trexx/Sheydos if KOI would let go of either of them, same level as Cloud/ardiis imo but unknown how possible this is, unlikely imo as they were the light during a lackluster season from KOI
Edit 2:
This is only a theory based of personal opinion and some rumours roaming around atm.
