The Eternal Return Masters Open #17 Team Match Wildcard took place online on the 17th. 'Meteorite', 'newclear', 'Seoul Game Academy(SGA)', 'Ereup', 'Happy Cat', 'MZ_', 'Imagine', 'Mayonez kenshi', and 'OldBoy' participated, with 'Happy Cat-Meteorite-SGA' taking 1st to 3rd place and advancing to the final stage.

'Happy Cat' started off strong by winning the first round. They benefited greatly from being the last to enter the final restricted area battle, which involved a back-and-forth fight with 'newclear-OldBoy-Imagine'. Since 'Happy Cat' was the only team with both members alive, they easily claimed the final victory.

In the second round, 'Happy Cat' unfortunately placed 2nd. 1st place went to 'Meteorite'. 'Meteorite' had better focus in the final 2v2 fight. 'MT_JJulLu' and 'MT_NoDunAI' effectively absorbed 'Happy Cat's attempts with artifacts in turns. After recovering health, 'Meteorite' focused fire on 'HC_Dhana's Bianca, leading the battle to victory.

'Meteorite' also won the 3rd round in a row, taking the overall 1st place title from 'Happy Cat', but 'Happy Cat' responded with a win in the 4th round. It was a three-way battle between 'Meteorite-Happy Cat-Ereup', and 'Happy Cat' completely seized the victory as one player each from 'Meteorite' and 'Ereup' fell in the back-and-forth fight.

After that, 'Happy Cat's momentum continued. 'Happy Cat' took both the 5th and 6th rounds, rising to the top spot with an overwhelming lead. Their total score was a whopping 421 points, a difference of 181 points from 2nd place. They also had a significantly higher number of kills at 39. 2nd place was taken by 'Meteorite', who had two 1st place finishes and consistently maintained a high ranking, and SGA, who secured points mainly through kill points, came in 3rd.
