Turtle if you are not going to use it, take barrier, not heal
Seriously this guy loves saving his heal for some reason

Turtle is just a flat-out bum. The one guy in the entire tournament who everybody knows has ZERO chance of carrying any given game. Hauntzer and Bjerg deserve so much better than his sub-par talent, and Sven's streakiness. Its hard to even say if Biofrost is playing well because he's basically laning with a handicap all the time.
Bio is great with what he can do with DL. Last split they were one of the strongest bot lane duos. Bio actually won rookie of the split, and it was his first split ever. WT as ADC just adds like a 20% loss chance increase to TSM at any international event. Sven needs someone constantly telling him what to do or he will wander and die a lot.
Hauntzer isn't showing massive skill either. He's had some amazing carry performances and some REALLY REALLY terrible ones as well...mostly the latter in this tournament.
Bjerg is being bjerg: he's not feeding and he's not making awesome plays. He's a fine Midlaner, arguably the best NA has, but he plays pretty passive and has never shown massive mechanics or massive leadership skills.
His strength is in the Team Fight phase...he's admittedly an awesome team player...unfortunately LOL is about the first 10 - 15 minutes of play in most cases. By the time your team is 6 - 1 and down 2 turrets the game is pretty much in the FF @ 20 phase...especially against international talent.
Hauntzer unfortunately got hit hard by the nerfs to his best champions Camille and Poppy along with WT and Sven being liabilities in fights and consistent FBs. So he usually has to play a defensive tank like Shen and not a carry champion which he would dominate with in order to try and protect them. Same with Bjerg but he more is at least trying to do great with the semi carry picks like Oriana, it is just that his opponent gets fed by WT's and Sven's errors. Hauntz needs to be on a hard carry champ to look good or he will just be protecting WT and Sven from themselves to no great success.

It is really the other way around in international play Bjerg is more than a fine laner, but he is just not that good in later stages of the game if the team doesn't get rolling because in those situation he just try to not feed and hope enemy throw rather than take heavy risks and trying to carry the game
