His oncoming match-up versus KaKAO will tell how far he has come along. KaKAO, Dandy, and Bengi can match him. Dunno about anyone else. CT weakness is not that crucial because the Frost lanes are way stronger than last season. So he is less needed

I just want Frost at Worlds again so badly.

Oh welp, Frost again prove why they're currently the most popular team in Korean e-sports. Another semi finals in most competitive LoL tournament in the world. I still can't see them winning the whole thing. However, say what you will about them but I have to say I really admire Cloud Templar, Rapidstar and Madlife from being there from the start as first generation pros and still being relevant while most of their peers have failed to do so.

The only threat I see atm is Ozone

Well if the rest of the RO8 plays out as most people would expect, which would probably be KT B, CJ Frost, SKT and MVP Ozone, then I have no idea anymore who will win these matchups. It will be completely insane either way...
I'm really excited to see how SKT will play. They have 100% winrate so far in the tournament but you can probably argue that they had by far the easiest group at the same time.

Hoping Frost takes revenge for Blaze and stomps the Bullets 3-0

And I'm hoping that KT can stomp frost and keep cj teams out of the finals for once.
Oh and it would be nice if they didnt nerf Ahri, she's perfectly fine as a champ; just fits the meta well atm.

Ahri is in a good position; she doesn't need nerfs. She looks super strong because good teams are able to maximize the use of her mobility, burst and catch. Twitch however could use nerfs to his passive (less damage) and expunge (more mana).
Najin Shield just looked outclassed; games weren't even close.

The consensus here (between us in paiN) is that Ahri and Gragas are broken and it will probably take some time until Riot notices it.

How is Gragas broken in your eyes? (legit question, not trying to troll)

He doesn't have any weak matchups in lane, has good teamfighting abilities, to a lesser degree can initiate fights, has one of the best disengages in the game, can create picks and he's a good 2v1 laner. His W makes trading very easy for him, as not only he gets %damage reduction, it also provides him quite a lot of AD. Oh, and his Q is one of the few abilities in the game that slows attack speed. Not only that, he can be played in top, mid or jungle. I also forgot to mention that he is very mobile and is a great roamer.

okay no more hipster picks.
SKT will smash Falcons 3-0.
Ozone probably the same, maybe if Riris doesn't go full CptJack like he did in the tiebreaker then they can take a game.
Bullets 3 > 2 Frost SKT 3 > 2 Ozone
KT vs. SKT on the beach. 40,000+ people show up.

Your semi predictions are hipster picks, duh! Frost and Ozone are the favourites to get to the Finals imo.

SKT is a toss-up.
I like Bullets over Frost. Mafa/Score are good enough and safe enough to go even with the aggressive Madlife/Space duo. I think Kakao will be a big reason they'll win. If Insec doesn't do something stupid like he did at the end of Game 3 against Blaze, I like the Bullets chances.
Ozone/SKT is a toss-up. They're evenly matched in almost every position. Both have really good coaches and strategies. If SKT had kept on with their, 'FAKER MUST ROAM! HE MUST CARRY!', then I would say Ozone wins easily, as they showed they can easily beat '1 King, 4 Guards' strategy in the finals, but Faker has shown that he can play farm heavy, non-carry type champions and let Piglet, Bengi, and Impact be the #1 option in a game if need be. Faker has not played any champion more than five times in his career, out of 35+ appearances. His most played champion is Orianna, someone you really wouldn't connect with Faker.
I like CTU, but I really don't want them to beat Ozone. Simply due to the fact that if CTU wins, then Najin Sword will get a spot directly into the S3 Finals. They got 400 points with Maknoon as their MVP, and then they won NLB, getting another 100 points, by using Chop -- the sub Top Laner for Shield -- and beating Expession in the finals. They've done absolutely nothing with their current line-up.
I need to at least see them beat a Frost/SKT/Bullets/Blaze in a Bo5 before I buy them going to worlds.
