The Eternal Return Masters Open #17 Team Match Finals were held online on the 18th. Nine teams participated, including 'FRESH MAN', 'Fire', 'MoLu', 'Igloo', 'Family', 'cleanguard', 'Happy Cat', 'Meteorite', and 'Seoul Game Academy(SGA)'. 'Happy Cat', who advanced through the wildcard round with overwhelming performance, dominated the finals and took the #17 championship.

'Meteorite' had a good start in Round 1. In the final 4-way battle, 'FRESH MAN' and 'Meteorite' were in the south, while 'Igloo' and 'Happy Cat' were simultaneously engaged in a 2v2 battle in the north. Thanks to the battles ending almost simultaneously, they had time to catch their breath, and in the fight that unfolded after regrouping, 'MT_NodunAl's Chiara survived to the end, securing the victory for the team.

The winner of Round 2 was 'Family', but it was 'Happy Cat' that caught the eye. 'Happy Cat' finished in 3rd place, but added a whopping 9 kills, quickly rising to the top of the overall standings. Riding the momentum, 'Happy Cat' took another step forward with a win in Round 3. They showed superior combat skills in the final battle against 'Meteorite'.

'Happy Cat' also faced a crisis. They finished 4th in Round 4 without taking a single kill. In the meantime, 'Meteorite' took the victory and snatched the 1st place. However, the flow of Round 5 was the opposite. This time, 'Meteorite' suffered an early elimination, and 'Happy Cat' wrote a great record of 10 kills and 1st place.

With a gap of 67 points from 2nd place 'Meteorite', 'Happy Cat' completed a perfect victory by taking the title of the last survivor until the last Round 6. It was 371 points. 'Meteorite', which was eliminated somewhat quickly this time, had to give up its firmly held 2nd place to 'Fire'. 'Fire' took 2nd place with 259 points, and 'Meteorite' had 223 points.

Meanwhile, with the end of the #17 schedule, all 8 teams that will advance directly to the Season 9 Finals have been determined. They are 'Meteorite(530 points)', 'newclear(522 points)', 'Happy Cat(500 points)', 'Fire(485 points)', 'Family(340 points)', 'FRESH MAN(258 points)', 'MZ(230 points)', and 'Ereup(210 points)'. The next-ranked teams will compete for the last ticket in the Season Finals LCQ (Last Chance Qualifiers).
