Will he be impactful as Ardiis with ex fpx?
Hard to tell. Like I remember when FPX signed Ardiis everyone was joking and memeing how they signed washed player and everyone was doubting them. But see what happened with Ardiis and FPX sometime later and something similar could happen with cNed as well. Ofc cNed is way more hyped signing, but my point is that FPX clearly has really good IGL/coach duo and super talented support players and a good system looking at their past with subs.
I think individually cNed can replace Ardiis pretty well, but for me its more about the personalities and comms etc in the team. Ardiis seemed to be pretty loud guy with strong opinions while cNed seems to be the exact opposite. Will be seen is it for the better or for the worse. And overall FPX core of 4 and d00mbros is really strong and cNed should definitely be enough for them to do great things even if he wasn't fully 1:1 on Ardiis Chamber for example.
