‘OneCircle’, who had a disappointing result in the last Eternal Return Masters Open #14, showed a very aggressive game management in this individual competition, as if to take revenge properly. In the first three rounds, only one survived as the final survivor, but he secured the top spot early by sweeping up the most kills over the three rounds.
‘OneCircle’, who participated in the following rounds 7, 8, and 9, survived as the final survivor of the 8th round, and recorded an additional kill, leaving a good result of the final 20 kills. ‘OneCircle’ recorded the most overwhelming result of this tournament, recording a large point difference with ‘Nian’, who placed second.
NoDunAI_MT survived as the final survivor until the 1st and 2nd rounds and successfully held back the solo performance of ‘OneCircle’. However, contrary to expectations in the 3rd round, he was eliminated quickly and was unable to keep the first place, and in the following rounds 7 to 9, he did not show much activity and finished in 8th place.
The biggest surprise in the Eternal Return Masters Open #16 individual match was the sluggish performance of ‘Curry’, who won the previous tournament. ‘Curry’ won the championship by showing off his overwhelming skills in both the individual group stage match and the final match in the last competition. However, in this tournament, they failed to show much activity and fell to the wild card match, following the steps of ‘OneCircle’ in the last tournament.
