Team Tickles defeated 16 OG 2-1 in the fourth week of the Dota Dreamleague Season. The two teams shared the second place until then, which Team Tickles can now claim for itself. Thus, Tickles also has very good chances to qualify for the Dota major.

"This hero (Queen of Pain) is just so broken. We pick him first in every game and he still does super well, so why not?", said team Tickles midlaner Miroslav "BOOM" Bičan in the interview after the game. "I think it's the item build. People have discovered a build that is perfect. You are almost impossible to kill and still annoy with silences and a lot of damage.»

BOOM played Queen of Pain in all three rounds and had a consistently high impact on the game with her. In the first game it was not quite enough for Team Tickles and the second game was also very close for a long time before the team could win it for themselves. In the third game, Tickles used an aggressive tri-lane. The strategy, in which a team sends three heroes to one side lane and one hero to the other at the beginning of the game, used to be the standard, but has been seen very rarely for several years.
