Why do people think ardiis is not better than cned?
Ardiis literally was a perfect fit and waas very flexible and yeah ik cned is insane but
I dont think -adriis +cned is an upgrade
i think u guys are overrating ardiis so much, like i even saw someone saying ardiis is good as much yay and nrg will be okay. Cned had a bad year but he's the perfect fit for Navi. There's no other player in terms of op player in emea and he will be okay with fpx core.
Ardiis only played good at copenhagen and champs while cned had a perfect year in 2021 and yay was consistent 2021 and 2022
Ik u are a shit baiter but since I am bored I will humor u

Look at the stats lol
NRG will be pretty insane with ardiis. Only real concern should be s0m lol.
Also Acend almost beat FPX for the second time in stage 2. That icebox was just crazy throw from acend. Just goes to show how hard it is to qualify from EMEA, when a 2 month of team was beating and almost knocking out the champion of the tournament they would be qualifying to.
I think they'll be moving s0m into a different role such as smokes. I've felt like more recently s0m's duelist has lacked. He was already playing Omen on Icebox for NRG with the old roster, and his aim has never been the problem, it's always been him creating space and taking first duels. I think smokes would work well for him too because it allows him to let his pure aim take over and just deny space rather than take it.
After ardiis leaving, really there couldn't have been a better replacement for him other than cned, sayf or maybe jampii. Seriously, its still the same dangerous FPX core with shao, suygetsu, zyppan. Im sure ANGE1 can fit cned in their playstyle, he's a veteran IGL afterall. That's why they are rating this team so high, just like how DRX should be rated high as well. Established core with a small change. NRG could've been similar if marved was there. It's sad Optic core and LOUD core split up. Navi, DRX, PRX are few of the only top teams left unchanged.
brother watches ardiis only in lan and declares he is the best. ardiis was probably the weakest chamber among the top 5 EMEA teams in the challengers thing. he performed really really well in lan, which he can definitely continue but thats not very certain. also cned's peak>>> ardiis(of what we saw till now)
Look at Champs stats and talk. U are just mad that ppl talk about ardiis being better than cned. Ardiis is the 2nd best chamber in the world without a doubt. Copenhagen I agree Shao and suygetsu were amazing but ardiis also played really well and in Champs he showed up more than those 2 did. He is fpx's best player. When u have got the same opinion as babysasuke u gotta rethink bruh💀
he was not fpx's best player. im not mad about ppl talking about ardiis being better. i've never said ardiis being best chamber, he was teh best jett and i think he's still the best jett. Yes he was very well at champs i nothingg said about it and same happened with acend back then zeek showed up more and everyone said he's best flex that i don't agree. Cned had a bad year because they changed the team and lost their igl, navi's 2023 roster looks clean and if angel and doombros make better teamplay with cned he will be good as old days.
Again not denying cned won't match ardiis but saying that ardiis isn't the 2nd best chamber in the world is just false. U gotta understand something. Zeek was one of the best flex in the world back then. Meta changes. Players improve or fall off. Same way ardiis is currently the 2nd best chamber itw and the best player on fpx. This can change. But there is no denying the stats of the most recent tournament
just watch what happened in emea games and then say. you being an nrg fan are now so biased by just watching his masters and champs games. sure he can continue his form, but its more than likely he'll perform worse than what cned does. i am just an emea fan, not a fan of ardiis or cned. rest is up to you to acknowledge
i am far from an nrg fan lmao. i am a gmb fan. i just know that ardiis is a beast. also u judge how good a player is with their recent performances especially the ones on lan. if a player is not performing on lan but has great online performances,they are literally made fun off as onliners lmao. u have go everything in reverse. ardiis is currently the 2nd best chamber in the world and there is no denying it unless u are blind and can't read the stats from the most recent games
NaVi needed a OP player and since they couldn’t get Sayf... they got next best option Cned and now considering that Chamber's pick rate is going down and more teams are running Jett and I think Chamber will get another small nerf before the next VCT season I think the meta will shift towards Jett and Cned is the best Jett player in the world his Chamber is weak but he diffs everyone with Jett so I think FPX got a upgrade
I feel like you look at the team wrong. It's not they wanted cNed over Ardiis, but rather Ardiis wanted another team and cNed is probably the next best guy. There are a few other names you could throw in, but cNed is easily T3 in terms of people to take Ardiis' spot. He is both an EMEA champion and World Champion. He is proven across multiple LANs and has a similar individual peak to Ardiis. I do think Ardiis fit the vibe that FPX established this year more than Charles Ned, but I don't think it's a downgrade. He is most likely a side-grade and we should be okay with that. This core was one of the best in the world this year and there is no reason to believe that will change next year.
