Yeah seemed a bit like "my work ethic > your work ethic".

Alright, thanks, that makes the most sense too.
This is the first season of OGN i've been able to watch with any regularity. Really looking forward to the knockout rounds. Hoping for MVP Ozone to repeat, I'm a big fan of Dandy and really, all their players.

Ozone has probably four players in the top two of their position. Imp is the best ADC, Mata is #1 or #2 support with Madlife, Dandy is more than likely the #1 Jungler with Insec now in the top lane, and even Faker admits that dade is currently better than him in every aspect as the #1 mid laner. Homme, who used to be the biggest negative, has now become the perfect role player, doing his job diligently and fitting into their team comps as Yorick or a sustain, tank champion like Shen or Zac. With their vast length of strategies, top tier coaching staff, and four of the best players at their position, it's hard to see them falling to CTU.

The way I see it Ozone is a clear cut above everyone else right now. If CTU needs to pull an upset not only do they need to become better than the teams below Ozone, but then they need to raise their game to another level above that. I don't see it happening so quickly.
Will be interesting to see if Blaze goes with CptJack or Hermes tonight.
If you pick Hermes, you're taking the safe, boring route. He probably won't be the cause of Blaze losing, but he will almost assuredly not be the one for the cause of them winning. After seeing him on Frost and now Blaze, he's the perfect plug-in ADC, someone good enough to not rock the boat of a good team, but not special or strong enough to take a team to the next level.
If you pick CptJack, you're basically crossing your fingers and hoping he plays like he did last season against Frost or the season before, again against Frost, where he went god mode on Caitlyn and helped Blaze have the biggest comeback in Champions history. He's better at farming than Hermes, and he has a higher ceiling than Hermes when it comes to making plays and changing the course of a match, but he also has the ability to completely derail Blaze with a few mistakes in the early game.
Do you go with the boring, safe ADC or the wild card ADC?

Definitely a double edged sword right there. Especially considering Blaze's record against KT Bullets in the playoffs is pretty terrible. I feel like Hermes is the better option. Play safe and hope Shy or Ganked by Mom can carry. If CaptJack gave KT Bullets even the slightest advantage Blaze would be in trouble. Although I've never been a betting man so I usually favor the more conservative strategies.
